1.1. Battery Replacement

  • Email from Dean Sherwood <Dean@tropmedres.ac> on date 2023-11-14 10:40, with subject RE: SMRU Hyper-V Host Server Replacement.

    What about the two existing 3000 VA UPS's?
Any plans about replacing them?
No (SMRU should be pro-actively replacing the batteries every 3 years).
Why? Do you have concerns with them?
