To ensure the safety and security of the system unit, it is recommended to use an uninterruptible power supply. This will prevent damage to equipment due to power surges or power outages.
Instructions
Step 1
First, learn to choose the right uninterruptible power supply. The manufacturer, in this case, does not affect anything. Read the instructions for your computer. Find the power supply parameters there. Find out its maximum power.
Step 2
The power of the purchased uninterruptible power supply should not be less than the power of the power supply. Pay attention to one more important point: some uninterruptible power supplies do not have classic outlets for connecting an extension cord or surge protector to them. They have connectors for specific cables. There are special extension cords that connect to such a UPS.
Step 3
Another important parameter of an uninterruptible power supply is the ability to configure it using the software method. Purchase a suitable uninterruptible power supply and extension cord. Install the UPS in close proximity to the computer system unit. Connect the equipment to the mains.
Step 4
Turn it on and leave it on for a while. This is necessary to charge the battery of the UPS. After the battery is fully charged, turn off the device. Connect to it using certain cables included in the kit or a purchased adapter, the computer's system unit.
Step 5
If the power of the UPS allows you to connect a monitor to it, then make this connection. Keep in mind that the fewer devices connected to an uninterruptible power supply, the longer it can operate in the event of a power outage.
Step 6
Turn on the computer and make sure that the unit is working by unplugging it from the mains. Install UPS software (if available). Adjust the settings for its operation, for example, automatic shutdown of the computer in case of a prolonged power outage
