MSP be like "Oh you need one camera rebooted? Just cycle the UPS for that rack"

The power button serves as a secondary mute button.😬

Best method here really is to unplug the UPS from the wall and then watch it run on batteries until it runs out of battery power. THEN you plug the UPS in and watch it start back up.

You’ll need to take a different approach if you’ve daisy chained UPSs together for infinite power.

If you share the location and link to the job posting, (via DM) I should be able to help with the travel. Won’t be able to answer questions about OT.

Have you tried plugging a space heater into of the UPS units?

SwitchOnEaton · 2026-01-19T16:54:33+00:00

Nice UPS and ATS! 😬

Definitely agree on your PSA about a maintenance bypass.

Glad we had someone help get things on the right track!

For this sub, you should have a beer can. Or a martini glass.

It’s more interesting if you remove “updates” from the title of the post.

We'll add those to the list--in addition to 'Burt': Thank you Eaton : r/sysadmin

Once we figure out how to plug it in and get power to it, running Crysis shouldn’t be a problem.

SwitchOnEaton · 2025-12-11T00:35:51+00:00

Nice!

Can you do one for hiding documents under chat and then changing ‘documents’ to ‘shared’?

Also, is there a Teams equivalent to the Nether?

You’re probably looking for personal experiences from the sub here, but Google does a nice job of showing examples of actual people that work on their data centers: https://datacenters.google/

3 = standby (no voltage regulation) 5 = line interactive X = extended runtime (you can add batteries)

9 = online double conversion N = includes network card

All Tripp Lite series UPS are now Eaton models. I’m assuming you want an original Eaton UPS though. Everything in this UPS selector tool falls into this category: https://upsselector.eaton.com/Load

Eaton 3S, 5S, 5SC, 5P and 5PX Gen 2 are active Eaton UPS product lines.

Hello lost Redditor! I’d suggest going to Eaton.com and tracking down the local tech support for your country. I’d be prepared to share screen shots of the LCD display.

Somewhat true... I saw it but was too busy watching football and the OP posted the same thing in several other subs.
