Food Stamp Debit Cards Not Working in at Least 17 States Obama's fault.
To: Tilted Irish Kilt
According to NPR , the fault was caused by a routine Xerox software upgrade , which created the 'glitch'. It's possible that it was a software-induced power failure. Big UPS systems have their own control systems that, among other things, can interface with the computer it's powering, and tell them to do a controlled shutdown if the batteries are about to die, or refuse to bring power online it if senses an overload condition.
A software upgrade on the UPS system could take down everything in the room if it went sideways.
