power supplies include a premium warranty package that is designed to enhance the potential for return
on investment over the uninterruptible power supplies available on the market today.
Type 9910 uninterruptible power supply solutions are available from Eaton.
For more information about power warning and system shutdown events, or on making changes to the
default configuration options such as system shutdown time when a power failure is detected, see:

Feature code ECCF (Part number 00FV631) - System Port Converter Cable for UPS
The ECCF is a converter cable that allows for communications from a UPS relay interface card to a
service processor USB port. The server has two service processor USB 2.0 ports on the native I/O
daughter card that are labeled 1 and 2. Either of these ports (1 or 2) can be used for the ECCF. Only one
ECCF is allowed per server. The connectors on the ECCF include a male USB and a female 9-pin D-shell
connector. The cable length is 1650 mm (65 inches).
The cable can be connected to either USB port 1 or USB port 2 at any time. It is not necessary to IPL the
server for the server to recognize the cable. The cable contains active electronics that tell the service
processor that a UPS is attached. The UPS can provide status information (such as UPS on, UPS utility
fail, UPS battery low, and UPS bypass) over the cable to the physical hypervisor for broadcast to all
partitions.
Notes:
1.
The two service processor USB 2.0 ports that are labeled 1 and 2 correspond to location codes
Un-P1-C1-T2 and Un-P1-C1-T3. For more information about location codes, see Part locations and
location codes.
2. Feature code (FC) ECCF is available for 5148-21L, 5148-22L,8247-21L, 8247-22L, 8247-42L, 8284-22A,
8286-41A, and 8286-42A systems.
3. The pin layout for the 9-pin D-shell connector is as follows:
v 5 - Signal ground
v 6 - UPS bypass
v 7 - UPS battery low
v 8 - UPS on
v 9 - UPS utility fail
