Hope he remembers to claim for the damaged kit from the utility or network
company.

Had to do it myself few years back including two UPS's that saved the IT kit
but not the UPS's themselves nor the modem, hub and router.

Needless to say when the new UPS units arrived everything was placed under the
UPS.

This was only a fault that caused power to gow from 240 nominal to 96 then
300 or so but they did try and say the power did not jump like that at least
until the point that I showed the UPS logs with the power surge.
