Well, the equipment should be hooked to UPSs so that they would plug UPSs
into the generator power and not the equipment directly. The UPSs clean up
the power, that's part of their job.

I like it when we hook up electronics to gas generators. It helps get
new equipment sooner than you might expect otherwise. When posible
try and arrange for the oldest crap to get used first :)
Several years ago during the California black outs/rolling power
failures I had a few month contract job at a place.
Every PC had an APC1000.
Only half the servers were on UPSs
None of the networking equipment was on a UPS.
A few weeks worth of work had them all covered though.

So they didn't take into account that they need to hook up their
networking
equipment as well? Why don't you help them with getting that stuff hooked
up
to the generators so they will have access to the tubes? Maybe I just
didn't
get the humor in it, I'm a little under the weather today. Okay, fine,
it's
a little humorous.

Ok, so I work for a rental company that rents everything from hand tools
to great big bobcats and backhoes. I just got a support call that a
remote
location that currently has a power failure, so they've hooked up some
generators to get the computers/printers back up and running but could I
please hurry up and reset everything because they can't access the
system/internet/email!!
I had to call them and thank them for making my day!!LOL!!! Gotta love
ingenuity!! (oh, and YES, this has happened before with another
location!)
Cheers!
