During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity coming into your computer 
can increase to far above normal levels and cause data loss or system damage. 
Protect your computer and peripheral devices by connecting them to a surge 
protector, which absorbs voltage surges and prevents them from reaching your 
computer.

An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) supplies battery power to your computer 
during a power failure. Although you cannot run your computer for an 
extended period of time with a UPS, a UPS lets you run your computer long 
enough to save your work and shut down your computer normally. For more 
information, see “Setting up an uninterruptable power supply” on page 155.

High voltages can enter your computer through the power 
cord, the modem, and network connections. Protect your 
computer by using a surge protector. If you have a 
telephone modem, use a surge protector that has a 
modem jack. If you have a cable modem, use a surge 
protector that has an antenna/cable TV jack. During an 
electrical storm, unplug both the surge protector and the 
modem.
