UPS Questions

[Jerry Adams <Jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

First, I have been reading a post that Jeff started regarding UPS attachment to the System i (http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/200602/msg01172.html).  In brief, he was having an issue with the system recognizing that the signal cable had been disconnected.

I didn't see anything in the thread regarding the resolution of this condition.  Nor did I find anything that in APAR or PTF cover letters that looked like the issue had been addressed.  Just curious if this was ever resolved.

Second, we are going to get a new UPS (which is why I was scanning the archives on the subject of 'UPS').  We have a 520 desktop system, no expansion chassis, that we need to hookup to the new UPS.  But the only thing that I can find regarding the power is in the System Handbook where it says the power supply is 850W.  Nothing on the outside of the box; didn't pull the panels off to look inside.  Just wanted to verify that I need to size the UPS to handle 850W; I'd hate to be under-powered - or buy more than I need.

Thanks.
