What Sort of Maintenance Can I Perform For My CyberPower Systems UPS unit?
One thing you might want to do is periodically test your CyberPower Systems UPS and their failure modes. A good time to do this might be right after after a periodic level 0 backup. Nobody is logged in and you’ve got full backups of the machines. Throw the circuit breaker with the CyberPower Systems UPS on it to simulate and outage and see how the transition goes. Note that in general testing an UPS by pulling the plug from the wall is not a good idea. Electronics like to always have a good ground reference. If you unplug your CyberPower Systems UPS, it’s still powered but now has what electricians call a “floating ground”. Not only can this be bad for electronics, but it can be quite dangerous as well. It is likely that unplugging just about any UPS for a short amount of time isn’t likely to result in disaster, but in all cases, throwing a circuit breaker would be a better thing to do. It might be useful to install a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) on your CyberPower Systems UPS-covere
