Due to its single-level memory management feature, it is compulsory for any IBM AS/400 system to be UPS protected so that an orderly and controlled shutdown can be achieved. Without a UPS, any
protracted mains failure or momentary loss of power will lead to a lengthy recovery period as the AS/400 reboots itself.In addition sudden loss of electrical power can itself damage the AS/400. The
RIELLO UPS AS/400 system connection kit allows the UPS to be connected to the AS/400 shutdown system to prevent this happening.
