Re: when a ups doesn't help

I'm not on site, but apparently the company that installed the racks did
put what I would call the cheap version of power strips that run from floor
to top of rack. I have taken your recommend for proper PDU's as well as
a redundant power supply.

-this is FT Lauderdale which see several close hurricanes a year.. but owner

ordered generator for natural gas. Now can't get easement clearance (yet)
to run pipe from street. When contractor saw natural gas at street, assumed

for 5 months now.

I hope Jim was talking about a Power Distribution Unit (PDU) and not a
free-after-rebate power strip from OfficeMax.

I would NEVER plug anything that critical into a power strip.

"Power strip" is a relative term. Jim's original post mentioned that he
was using a "professional rack" so this isn't a typical power strip from
Staples. <G> IIRC, the back of the i5 racks have power strips
themselves, no?
