Ah, the joys of annual testing.

Awake. At work. Doing the yearly test of my UPS. We do tend to have power fluctuations during the fall/winter in this building. So I have to wait out five minutes of beeping to make sure it runs computer + monitor for that long. Heh. Always fun being chirped at. (My laptop is just on a surge protector, so I'm just using it right now.)

THERE. Found the little switch to shut that off; I knew it had to be around here somewhere. I suppose I ought to test the other UPS in my office, too, that used to be P's. At least it faces front so it's easier to reach - the way my desk is placed, I couldn't do that.

So far, I don't seem to have been spammed into oblivious, and a good chunk of my to-do list is doable, so.... Off to work on that while the UPS holds up my computer just a bit longer.

Did you mean the beeping? I would love to know how to shut that off....

Yep! On our UPSs at least there's a switch on the "front" (of course, to plug everything in, you must turn it sideways, the "front" ends up in the way-back corner and is in no way accessible) that has "test" at the top and a crossed-out bell at the bottom. Press it down and hold it for several seconds and presto, the beeping is gone.
