8.7.3 Utilities Failure

This topic gives the lists of Utilities failures that can occur.

Utilities failures can be caused by the following situations:
  • Power Supply failure
  • Variation in Power Supply/Temperature/Humidity

Power Supply Failure

The recommended steps to be followed incase of a power supply failure are as follows:
  • If advanced warning of power failure is announced Data Center Manager should make alternative arrangements
  • The Data Center Manager should contact technicians
  • Power off all the machines
  • Report to Fund Manager, the agencies and the REG

When the power is restored a refresh is needed for the system to start again. If power off is extended to such an extent that the AMC operations are hampered alternate arrangements like Gensets should be arranged so atleast the online branches are accessed.

Variation of Power Supply/Temperature/Humidity

The recommended steps to be followed incase of a variation in power supply/Temperature/Humidity are as follows:
  • The Data Center Manager should contact technicians
  • Power off all the machines
  • Report to Fund Manager.

If variation in power/temperature/humidity is off to such an extent that the AMC operations are hampered, alternate arrangements like Gensets, stabilizers should be arranged so atleast the online branches are accessed.
