Emerson Liebert Power Solutions - Manual (Page 4)

Every operation in your business depends upon the instant, around-the-
clock availability of computers, servers and other electronic systems. If they
aren’t working, neither is your company.
Unfortunately, every piece of this equipment your company possesses is
subject to the whims of the electricity that powers it.
The first step in taking control of this situation is to understand the threats
to your system reliability—and exactly what you can do about them.
You Face Many Challenges In The
Pursuit Of Productivity
Is There Really A Problem?
“My computer can ride right through a short blip in the
power—why do I need anything else?”
There Are No Simple Solutions
“I have people telling me all I need to do is plug each
workstation into a small UPS from the computer store .
That’s good enough, isn’t it?”
Different Needs Require Different Power
Protection Configurations
“Should I have a small UPS for each workstation or
have everything on one large system . Which is best
for my facility?”
A Lot Can Happen Between Your UPS And
The Equipment It Is Protecting
“We have dozens of pieces of networking equipment. How
can I make sure that each one is getting exactly the power
it needs?”
Every Wire Carries The Potential
For Trouble
“An electrical surge came in through an outside phone line
and knocked out our entire communications system. Is this
going to happen again?”
A Single Source Of Power Simply May
Not Be Enough
“Adding a second power feed would certainly enhance our
availability picture—but who can we talk to about getting
it done right?”
