We successfully completed our UPS upgrade work today. We were able to transfer to generator power, bypass the UPS, shut down the UPS, perform the work, the reverse the whole process and restore grid power. Everything worked as planned and as expected. We spent approximately 2.3 hours on backup power.
Above you can see the UPS Technician from MGE performing some circuit board replacements and firmware upgrades on our bypass switch.
Below you can see a gauge that shows the output from our backup power generator system. Running our entire facility's load, which includes all the servers and all of our mechanical systems (air conditioners, humidity controls, fans, etc) uses only 22% of our backup power system's capacity. Lots of room to grow.

Stay tuned for more news about our datacenter facility expansion.
