I. Emphasize the need that power supplies must be properly grounded when used to maintain an organization’s physical environment.
II. Recommend that in areas where water accumulation is possible, computing and other electrical equipment must be uniquely grounded using ground fault circuit interruption (GFCI) equipment.
III. Organizations should identify computing systems that are critical to the operation of the facility so that they can be connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
• Can exceed upward of up to 10,000 VA
• Goal of a UPS is to have enough time to keep critical systems online and give them time to safely shut down
IV. Recommend that backup systems be tested frequently and documentation of the facility’s configuration, operation, and function should be integrated into disaster recovery plans and standard operating procedures.
