1、 Put safety first. Life and physical safety are above all else. When dealing with power issues, even a small mistake can lead to serious injury or death. Therefore, when dealing with systems related to UPS uninterruptible power supplies (or any electronic systems in data centers), ensuring safety is of paramount importance, including complying with manufacturer recommendations and paying attention to facility specific implementation guidelines and standard safety guidelines. If you do not know how to maintain or repair your UPS uninterruptible power supply system or certain aspects, please seek professional assistance. Even if you are aware of the internal and external conditions of your UPS uninterruptible power supply system, receiving external assistance is still a guarantee.
2、 Regular maintenance, persist. Preventive maintenance should be performed regularly, especially considering potential downtime costs. You should schedule regular maintenance activities (annual, semi annual, or any time frame) for your UPS uninterruptible power supply and other systems in the data center, and adhere to the schedule. This includes maintaining a written (paper or electronic) record of upcoming maintenance activities, as well as whether repairs have been carried out in the past and when they were carried out.
3、 Maintain detailed records. In addition to regular maintenance, you should also keep records of the maintenance carried out (such as cleaning, repairing, or replacing certain components), as well as the condition of the equipment during the inspection process. Cost tracking is also beneficial when you need to display repair costs of a few dollars each time, which can avoid thousands or millions of downtime costs. A task list, such as checking for battery corrosion, excessive torque on connecting wires, etc., can help maintain an orderly approach. All file records can help plan the time for equipment replacement or periodic maintenance and troubleshooting of UPS uninterruptible power supplies. In addition to keeping records, it is important to keep them in a location known to the staff and accessible to them at all times.
4、 Perform regular inspections. There are many of the above methods that can be applied to almost any part of the data center, performing secure, regular maintenance, and maintaining good records, regardless of the situation the data center is in. However, UPS uninterruptible power supply is quite special, and some tasks can and should be carried out regularly by staff (who should be familiar with, at least understand the basic operation of UPS uninterruptible power supply).
