Re: Port for UPS on i520

[ChadB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

There are two serial ports on the rear of the 520.  We have a rack mounted
model and it's the top serial port, which is labeled 'T2'.  I'm not sure
how they're oriented on a standalone model.  Be aware that some PTFs and/or
firmware updates may be required to get the machine's firmware up to the
correct level so that it will detect the cable.  On one of our 520s we
needed to power down the system after updating the firmware and actually
remove power to the 520 for several minutes in order to get the firmware
updated completely before the cable's presence would register (per IBM's
suggestion after the cable still wouldn't register).

Also, there is a short 'conversion' cable from IBM that you will need with
the 520... it attaches to the T2 serial port and then to your UPS cable.

IBM's hardware support group is getting pretty familiar with these items
now, but the first few calls took a while! ;)

Hi!

I have a new i520.
Where do i connect my UPS cable on a i520?
I can't find any J14 port.
