Battery Backup

The DVMAX Server computer and monitor, and network switches and routers should be connected to a battery backup. In the event of a power failure, a battery backup will allow someone at the practice to ensure the DVMAX Server application can be shut down properly, which will help prevent data damage. We recommend choosing a battery backup device that will monitor available power, and has the ability to shut down the operating system when running low on power. IDEXX sells a battery backup option that can be purchased through IDEXX by calling 1-888-224-4408..
