I don't remember, but when we were taking the tour the guide did mention that the tested the batteries and generators on some schedule. I bet there's some industry standard that has a minimum testing frequency.

In my experience (radio repeater and cell sites on mountain tops) an auto-start timer runs the generator once per week for 30 minutes or so. Diesels dont like to sit too long without being run. And these are 30-50 Kw generators, relatively small in comparison to a data center. I expect a weekly schedule is common practice.
