Preparing power connections
Protecting from power source problems
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.
Checking the voltage selection
Warning
High voltages can enter your computer through both the power cord
and the modem connection. 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.
Caution
If you set the voltage selection switch incorrectly, your system will be
damaged. Make sure this switch is set correctly for your location before turning
on your computer. In the United States, the utility power is supplied at a nominal
115 volts at 60 Hz. The power supply should always be set to this when your
computer is operating in the United States. In other areas of the world, such
as Europe, the utility power is supplied at 230 volts at 50 Hz. If your computer
is operating in an environment such as this, the voltage switch should be moved
to 230.
