5 Steps to Prevent Downtime
1. Protect Critical Equipment
Ensure servers, network switches, firewalls, and storage devices are connected to a reliable UPS – not just a standard power strip.
2. Check UPS Health & Battery Status
Verify that your UPS is reporting normal operation and that batteries are healthy and within their expected lifespan.
3. Confirm Graceful Shutdown Settings
Make sure shutdown software is configured so systems power down safely in the event of an extended outage.
4. Allow for Environmental Changes
Temperature fluctuations over the holiday period can affect batteries – ensure your UPS is operating within recommended conditions.
5. Enable Monitoring & Alerts
Remote monitoring ensures you’re notified of any issues, even when no one is in the office.
