Personally, I find this UPS exploding paranoia rather ridiculous. One
person has one UPS burst into flames and everyone is yelling the sky is
falling. We have no idea what conditions the UPS had been subjected to and to
then jump to the conclusion that all UPS's are bombs waiting to explode

I've always felt UPS's should be in pairs, one for each side of each
server's redundant PSUs. that way you can take one UPS offline
entirely for service, whatever, and the systems can continue to be
protected by the other UPS via their 2nd PSU.
