UPS & Power Backup System – Preventive Maintenance
Last Updated a year ago
Problem Summary:
Unexpected power cuts can corrupt files or damage hardware. Keep your UPS healthy.
Checklist for UPS Maintenance:
- Check Battery Status
- Most UPS systems have indicator lights—look for any warning signs (red/blinking).
- Test Backup Time
- Once a month, unplug the main power to simulate a power cut. See how long backup lasts.
- Clean Vents
- Dust the vents and surrounding area to prevent overheating.
- Verify Load
- Ensure the UPS is not overloaded—don’t plug in printers or large power-hungry devices.
- Replace Batteries Periodically
- UPS batteries typically last 2–3 years. If your backup is dropping fast, it’s time.
When to Raise a Ticket:
- Beeping or blinking red light on UPS
- Short backup time
