Install an Uninterruptible Power Supply

         Power fluctuations and sudden loss of power are issues that can both result in serious damage to computers and their peripheral devices. An uninterruptable power supply, commonly abbreviated UPS, is a device that is designed to maintain a steady and constant source of electricity to your devices.

A UPS takes the power supplied from an outlet and stabilizes it before feeding electricity to the devices connected to the included outlets. In the event of a loss of power, the UPS switches from main power to a battery backup, which gives a user the chance to save any data and properly shut down the devices connected to it.

    Instructions

• Set the UPS device on a solid, level and dry surface close to both a power source and your computer equipment. To avoid overheating, place the UPS in a location where it can get adequate airflow.
• Plug the UPS into a wall outlet and then connect all of your devices to the available outlets.
• Press and hold the power button on the UPS for about two seconds. This will initiate a self-test procedure. Once the self-test is complete, your UPS will be ready to supply steady power to your devices. The internal battery will charge while your devices are in use.

• Tips & Warnings

• Do not overload the UPS with devices. Doing so can result in unsatisfactory performance and potential damage to the UPS.
