A computer UPS (uninterruptible power supply) is a device that provides continuous power supply to a computer in the event of a power outage to prevent data loss or computer damage. It is very important to connect and use the computer UPS uninterruptible power supply correctly. This article will provide you with a detailed guide on connecting and using the computer UPS uninterruptible power supply.
Firstly, when connecting the computer UPS uninterruptible power supply, the following points should be noted:
- Choose the appropriate UPS: Choose a suitable UPS based on your computer’s power requirements. The power of UPS is generally expressed in VA (volt ampere), which is a standard unit for measuring the power that UPS can provide.
- Set up power connection: Before connecting the UPS, make sure that both the computer and UPS are turned off, and disconnect the power adapter. Then, remove the output socket of the UPS and plug it into the output interface of the UPS (usually labeled “OUT”). The number of sockets varies depending on the model and type of UPS, usually several.
- Connect the power adapter: Insert the power adapter plug into the input socket of the UPS (usually labeled “IN”). Then plug the power adapter into the wall socket.
- Connect the computer: Connect the computer to the UPS output socket through a power adapter. If you have other devices that need to be connected to the UPS, you can also connect them to the UPS output socket.
- Connection between UPS and computer: It can connect the communication interface of UPS (usually USB or serial port) to the computer, monitor the power status and real-time information of UPS through software, and trigger automatic shutdown in case of power interruption.
