We have a UPS system which we test from time to time on non-prime local time...
One time we where testing; we had ten people standing around the display panel doing checking monitoring type activities... The Security Guard hears the alarms sounding, dashes over, and pushes the BIG RED POWER OFF BUTTON... Immediate silence, immediate end of test... Security Guard and Security Guard Company are chastised.... The following week a Security Guard tour is taking place with new Security Guards; these new Security Guards are warned about the BIG RED POWER OFF BUTTON... One of the new Security Guards on the tour says "This one?" as the BIG RED POWER OFF BUTTION is depressed... To this day, many years later, the Security Guards are not allowed on the computer room floor...
