Thanks Joanne and psydii. I've just had confirmation from our server and san supplier that they will continue to cover the warranty of that equipment - but I need to monitor temps on the equipment just in case the smoke put a film over any heat producing components. We're also having an upgraded UPS sent out free of charge so I'm not sure whether we need to go down the insurance root now. Think we're very lucky that the fire didn't take hold and cause more damage.

Hi, we had a small fire in our server cabinet which was caused by our UPS. I won't name the manufacturer as their customer service and technicians have been amazing since this happened even though the UPS was about 7 years old. It created quite a lot of smoke which got into our SAN, servers and switches. Other than this there doesn't seem to be damage to the servers etc it was just the UPS that was burnt out. My question is should I look at replacing all if the equipment that may have been damaged by the smoke? The insurance company is coming in soon so I thought it may be good to get some input from other IT profs. Also has anyone ever experienced a UPS catching fire? In our case it wasn't the batteries that exploded but was the circuit board that had burnt out.

We actually bought one of these the other day. We haven't installed it in a classroom yet, that's one of the "to do's" for next week. We did set it up in our office and compared it to the Casio LED - we were very impressed. My colleague (qeadmin) has put the info on another post.
