Protecting against power source
problems
Surge suppressors, line conditioners, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
can help protect your system against power source problems.
Surge suppressors
During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity coming into your system
can increase far above normal for a few milliseconds. This may cause data to
be lost or the system may be damaged as a result. To protect against power
surges, use a surge suppressor. The surge suppressor absorbs voltage surges and
prevents them from reaching your system.
A surge suppressor plugs directly into an electrical outlet. You should connect
your computer, monitor, and other devices to the surge suppressor.
If you have a modem, make sure your surge suppressor has jacks for the
telephone and modem cables. Power surges can pass through telephone wires
as well as electrical wires.
