A piece of electronic equipment, such as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or server, has a case adapted for mounting in a rack or cabinet. The equipment includes a presence sensor installed within the case such that it has an external field of view. A controller connected to the presence sensor. In response to a presence detection by the presence sensor, the piece of electronic equipment may take any of a number of different actions, at least some of which are geared toward making the area around the equipment more comfortable for workers and providing workers with helpful information. These actions may include, but are not limited to, changing the speeds of internal fans, powering up a display to provide status and maintenance information, and other such actions. The presence sensor may also be used to detect emergency conditions, such as fire.
