Solution: Power service / Server equipments

1) perform logical shutdown on all equipments (example: windows systems, Start, Shutdown, et al)
2) then turn off all routers and switches, bridges, printers, scanners and other secondary devices
3) switch off the power strips, if you have any.

once the entire infrastructure is in a powered down state, you can shutdown the UPS(s)

thats it.

once the power comes back on, wait atleast 30 minutes for the power to stabilize

i had an outage a few months ago), and powered down my systems on UPS backup.
once the power came back i immediately powered on, and the power went away within a few seconds, crashing one server (the UPS was depleted)

when is your outage scheduled? (in hours)
