Update
Due to the issues related to turn-up, a separate UPS has been sourced to ensure restoration of power protection. The factory technicians will continue work on the current system and complete turn-up if they're able. Otherwise, the other replacement UPS will be on-site for installation early next week. Updates will follow at that time, or if the situation changes significantly. Main power is still supplied by generator with sufficient fuel.

Although turn-up was attempted, we were unsuccessful in bringing the UPS online. Work will continue tomorrow. In the interim, main power is still supplied by generator.

The replacement UPS is currently scheduled for turn-up tomorrow. Prior to turn-up, a component was found to be suspect and is to be replaced before turn-up. An update will follow if the situation changes, or when the replacement UPS is online and protecting the critical load from utility outages. Currently, the building is running on generator power and has sufficient fuel for several days.
