Massive respect to Brian for not losing his cool when the "installer fault" thing came up. I work tech mainly, not installation, but I've been accused of some things that were in no way related to me. It's a terrible feeling, and to be perfectly honest, I've lost my cool on one or two on company reps when they were blatantly trying to weasel out of their responsibilities. Excuses are cheap and easy to come by when things go wrong. If there's one thing I hate, it's a coward. Brian handled it as a true professional, and with a composure that I envy. As long as the problem gets solved, I'm happy, but it really rubs me the wrong way that they played it off like it was uncle jimbo with a hacksaw, instead of a trained professional who knows his stuff.

I was once hired as an hardware/firmware R&D engineer, within a company that somehow ended up outsourcing all R&D... All technical decisions where internally made by tech illiterate bozos, resulting in an endless stream of (often the same) stupid mistakes. It was always form over function, making maintenance a cesspool to swim through. The external firms would blame everything that went wrong with their garbage equipment on our internal technical personnel, them knowing that our tech-inept management would actually believe their excuses. I couldn't sleep in the end, got another job after only 1.6 years. Companies coming up with stupid excuses, as shown in this video, get me all frustrated again.

Taking your car analogy, it would be more similar to purchasing a car and having the engine seize because there was no oil, then the dealer blaming you for not checking before you drove away. While the plate was removable and the issue could have been spotted, as was alluded to in the video, there’s no need or indication to remove components during installation, so why would a reasonable person unnecessarily disassemble a new device? Yes, there’s fault on both sides for failure of the unit, but it seems unlikely that lack of air circulation is the cause of a clear electrical fire.

You also should do fire risk assessment and know what are the hazards that your place have and what is the most effective way to protect your employees and Equipment.

More and more companies couldn't even exist if something happened to their IT infrastructure, and still they cheap out on making it more reliable/robust.

I mean, from what I see, you can only really access the UPS from the magnetic doors. And that UPS is *SO* heavy, especially with all the batteries and power units on. Would you expect someone to try and steal that? Plus it is not like the black market for $2000 batteries is very big. No one would buy a used Eaton battery from a random guy that does not have a receipt. In comparison, some of the servers in the front are a lot more valuable and a lot lighter. It is also a lot easier to sell standard server hardware than specialized battery equipment. And I guess when Linus moved to that office, he was scared that someone may try to do funny business to his servers, but he realized that no one even tried to enter his building since 2015 so he does not care anymore.

Certified UPS service engineer, I have worked on a number of Eaton units from 1U to power racks their quality was never the best and are prone to failures. I can’t tell or find out if you have bypass switches installed in the event of a power down scenario for the UPS ( replacement batteries or change of unit or no load testing) recommend that one is in place. I highly recommend RIELLO power racks, modular design super user friendly and with number of fail safes ( auto load transfer in the event of a failure) that’s just my opinion

Where is the telecommunications grounding bus bar for the rack and anything it touches? That’s code in commercial rack installs. You should have two circuits going into the room for 2 upses or that one might support dual circuits? Then have 2 PDUs in the rack for each circuit feeding each server power supply. So each server is powered by 2 circuits connected to two UPSes or two busses on the UPS. So if one circuit goes down.

We have had 3 Eaton units fail in the last 18 months... a 30 kVA, a 40 kVA, and a 60 kVA. They all had similar failures in the control modules. It's worth noting that 2 of these were in Alaska and the 3rd was in Florida. We replaced the 30 & 40 in Alaska with a single 100 kVA Schneider Electric (APC) unit. The new Schneider unit is so much nicer than the Eatons were. It is a double conversion unit, so we get zero transition bumps on and off of it... it's much quieter and makes a lot less heat. Oh, and working with Schneider has been a pleasure, unlike Eaton.

Then another load of cash to 'service' the equipment which is mostly a quick once over, but oh sorry, service parts are extra sir despite the 5k annual fee you pay for the service contract! Eaton should insist on it being installed by them if it has random loose parts in that need to be clamped down before it's tied in if that was actually what happened here. Just looks a little suspect from here on the couch.

I’m a licensed aircraft mechanic and worked 11 years as biomedical technician. IMO, your electrician is in the right all the way. Unless there’s installation instructions or labeling on the external connections stating you must open the unit to verify settings the installer is off the hook and actually be liable if he opened the unit. There’s always the possibility that the company’s quality control is so bad that they have to have one of their tech on site to catch f...ups. Did the original unit come with such as I’ve mentioned above or did they require a tech on site for the first install?
