"The UPS Room it could only be opened with special cards. Raknya own yet to be opened with a key. If viewed from the cable that we see any possibility of short-circuit is very small. If people want to sabotage, yes the door open, open the key raknya, continue to enter molotov in it. It seems impossible, "tukasnya, as found on, Monday (14/8/2012).

The explosion happened was big enough to able to damage the chip and log files is in it. When that log file is very important to know why the damage could occur.

"The log File is damaged and his totally can't read. So technically, and me as the cause of the destruction of this technique the UPS will continue to be a mystery. But the police themselves ask for time to investigate this incident to one month, "tukasnya.

The only reason that could be received from this damage is the quality of the vendor's UPS. Whereas, Johar confessed, bought it with UPS rates are more expensive than UPS previously.

The UPS has a dual function to keep the server in order to remain constantly lit. First, it's useful as a stabilizer of the UPS in unstable power supply or die.

"Never mind the dead, when the unstable power supply from any direct terminated then its PLN is replaced with a battery that able to survive for 30 minutes. When the electricity is off, then his case 30 seconds after power off instantly by irrigated genset. That's why I can't figure, why could explode from the inside so, "he asserts.

In the IDC in Three buildings themselves there are 600 Duren rack servers, each of which occupied floor 300 rack. These shelves are named after colors, autumn (orange), winter (blue), spring (green) and summer (red). The current conditions were continuing normally.
