Power Protection Devices

Several devices are available that protect against power fluctuations and failures:

•Surge protectors

•Line conditioners

•Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)

Surge Protectors

Surge protectors and power strips equipped with surge protection help to prevent damage to your computer from voltage spikes that can occur during electrical storms or following power interruptions. The level of protection is usually commensurate with the cost of the surge protector. Some surge protector manufacturers include warranty coverage for certain types of damage. Dell recommends that you carefully read the device warranty when choosing a surge protector. Compare joule ratings to determine the relative effectiveness of different devices.

NOTICE: Most surge protectors do not protect against lightning strikes. Dell recommends that you disconnect your computer from the electrical outlet when lightning occurs in your area.

NOTICE: Surge protectors do not protect against power fluctuations or power interruptions.
