01The problem
A hospital's records and systems depend on a room that is often a cupboard: hot, untidy and unlocked. A proper cabinet, tidy cabling, cooling, a UPS and a locked door make the difference between a system that runs and one that fails at the wrong time.
02How it works
03What to check before you buy
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Space and cooling | Heat load |
| UPS | Runtime |
| Cabling | Labelled |
| Access | Locked and logged |
| Maintenance | A plan, spares and a response time agreed before you buy |
| Your own requirements | Confirm them with your regulator and advisers |
