Preliminary ActionsUpon arrival, found UPS in Maintenance Bypass Mode. Restart attempts were unsuccessful.
ResolutionReplacement components had to be ordered to address possibly damaged components.
Root CauseCustomer had the local Fire Department on site performing testing. The Fire Panel is tied to the UPS via shunt trip, and upon testing, the UPS was deactivated.
