UPS Monitoring

UPS monitoring is a standard feature of the AS/400 operating system.

QUPSDLYTIM is a timer in the AS/400 that tells the system how long to

run on UPS power before shutting down. Each AS/400 system is initially

assigned a default value for QUPSDLYTIM.

To determine the default value for your system or to change the value,

refer to the Uninterruptible Power Supply section in one of the

following IBM documents:

“AS/400 Advanced Series Backup and Recovery -Advanced,”

SC41-4305 (for AS/400 Models 3xx and 5xx)

“AS/400e series Backup and Recovery,” SC41-5304

(for AS/400 6xx and Sxx)

V4R1 Backup and Recovery information (AS/400 Models 3xx, 5xx, 6xx

and Sxx) is also available on the Customer Documentation AS/400

Softcopy Library CD (SK3T-0118) and on the Internet at:
