Prevent Data Loss During Thunderstorms and Blackouts
Summary:
ComputerBatteries advises that to prevent data loss, it's crucial to heed the government's heat wave warnings and protect IT equipment in your office.
Article Body:
To minimize the risk of data loss, especially during the current heat wave, ComputerBatteries emphasizes the protection of office IT equipment. With recent incidents of data loss due to high temperatures and thunderstorms in the UK, they recommend implementing preventative measures for PCs and servers.
Power surges and blackouts present a threat to PCs, servers, and laptop batteries, particularly when equipment overheats from lightning strikes or hot weather.
Here are some key guidelines for safeguarding your office computers:
1. Environment: Keep computers in cool, dry areas to prevent overheating.
2. Power Supply: Avoid overloading power supplies by running too many devices from a single extension cable. Use surge protectors between power sockets and computer cables, and ensure they’re regularly checked.
3. Circuit Management: Use dedicated circuits for IT equipment, separate from air conditioners and fans.
In addition to these general rules, ComputerBatteries offers specific tips for thunderstorms and blackouts:
- During Thunderstorms: Disconnect power cords and telephone lines connected to modems, as high voltages can enter through phone lines.
- During Blackouts: Invest in uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to maintain power to servers and clean the power supply, ensuring data protection during outages. This is particularly crucial for offices with network servers.
Following these steps can greatly reduce the risk of data loss during adverse weather conditions.
