Title
A Resolution Approving Maintenance of the Server Room UPS.
Summary
The uninterruptible power supply in the server room was originally purchased around 2007-2008. The batteries were replaced in 2017 and the capacitors and fans were replaced in 2018. These are standard maintenance items to ensure the operability of the unit which keeps our servers, firewalls, and the core of our network running during a power outage. This time, I am proposing to replace all batteries, capacitors, and fans at one time, which should extend the life of the unit approximately eight more years.
