Time to check your UPS’s If you have a ups on your computer or servers and it is 2 years old or more you need to run tests before the power outage season starts. The worst thing is to think you are protected and you are not. Remember your standard workstation should have at least a 550 Watt or better and your IT Switches modem and router should be on a 450 or better. Your servers should be rated individually. Since most users have multiply and large monitors you should only have the primary monitor on the UPS to extend uptime.
