[QUOTE="Rainman1, post: 138237, member: 4814"] Don't get me wrong, I know UPS teaches nothing. Actually, it seems that UPS reduces knownledge level. I am lucky enough to have 20 years of non-UPS experience. It irritates the hell out of me every day to see the idiotic way UPS does things, such as: Plug both power supplies from the LOEIS into UPS 1. What if the unit fails? Plug both NICs into the same switch, even if multiple switches are available. What If the switch fails? So I keep the skillset up on my own. In one of the hubs in my district, I have set up a DL380-G4 running multiple SQL Servers with over 1TB of RAID5 space spread over fifteen drives, protected by hot spares, redundantly configured BackUPS 750s and network connections. Quite non-standard, corporate will freak once they notice it, but it is fun while it is there. *** A fun way to screw with annoying users is to set the fan idle speed to it highest setting on every system in the room.
