The Things We Take for Granted in Our Small Business 2
And an update to the update - it seems that this particular brand of UPS needs to be charged for 18 hours BEFORE connecting the monitors and computers.
I’ve always thought that reading instructions were for 90lb weaklings - but then if I had read the instructions I wouldn’t have been up at 2am this morning scrabbling around under my desk trying to stop the beeping.

Just an update on the uninterrupted power supplies we’ve installed on all our computers. They are all running fine except for the the first one I hooked up.
At 2am this morning it decided that it was almost fully discharged and it should sound it’s alarm just to warn someone. The only problem was that there had been no power outage nor any period of reduced voltage. The other UPS were all showing 100% capacity.
So I shut down the computers connected to that UPS and unplugged it rather than fiddle with it at that ungodly hour of the day. When I plugged it in this morning it worked fine and is currently recharging it’s batteries.
I’ll certainly be keeping my eye on it throughout the day - electricity is not something to I like to play with
