L1000 uninterruptable power supply has not been properly connected

We recently had to replace the battery on our L1000. I had to restart the server and received a message "/usr/lbin/up_mond: UPS /dev/tty0p1 read failed file exists; uninterruptable power supply has not been properly connected; loss of power would not be detected." I noticed a 9 pin male plug coming from the secure web console. I also noticed a 9 pin female on the power supply. Is this what the error message is referring to or is it something else?
Thanks,

On the back of the L1000, there is a 'W' cable that has 3 plugs on it. Those 3 plugs should be labeled console, UPS and serial.

The cable from your web console should plug into the 'console' port on the W cable. The cable from the UPS should plug into the UPS plug on the 'W' cable.

Thank you for your response. I've found the cable labeled UPS. Does the server have to be shut down when the cable is connected to the UPS.
Thanks again,

I don't see why it should.
