Latest Desktop and Network Cabinet UPS from Emerson Liebert
We use our computers for work and play. We have them at
office, and commonly in a form of desktop computer. At home, some also have
their desktop for internet and games. Since desktop are so commonplace and
upgrades for parts should be on your list. One important part that will ensure
reliability of your computing device is the UPS.
UPS is an acronym for Uninterruptible Power Supply. By its very simple and straightforward name, it is a device that ensures emergency backup power in case of an electrical fault. The reason why is because of the very nature of computers in which the memory or RAM does not retain information in the event of power loss. All non-volatile information is stored into a media referred to as hard disk, SSD, or in the early days- floppy disks. If you work on a spreadsheet that is unsaved, you will be surprised it will not be retain if there is power outage. If you still use AVR or Automatic Voltage Regulator, I suggest buying your own UPS as it will protect your system from power related damage. Interrupted power causes malfunction on your desktop as your computer has delicate circuits that could mess up and permanently damaged due to unstable power.

UPS as I remember before for desktops are just simple
looking box where you hook up your power cables. Now, various units and models
from different manufacturers provide enhancements. They added surge protection,
beeping alarm sound for overload warning and battery change diagnosis, up to
adding network hardware to enable administrators of corporate networks to
monitor the status of the UPS. Some desktop UPS also sport LCD monitor to show
status and give user interface.
On our latest requirement for UPS on my work, we come across
the product from Emerson Liebert. We previously had Emerson Liebert and I can
say that the one we will be replacing is also an Emerson brand bought 4 years
ago. You will notice that your UPS is no longer functioning if it turns off
during power interruption. We bought their desktop type model Liebert ITON
–SOHO. For this unit with 220 VAC output and 3 outlet socket, I notice that
this UPS is compact and smaller sized.
Package contains the UPS equipment, the user manual and 1 pc
output power cable. For new buyers, it is important to place your UPS in a well
ventilated and dry area to keep it cool. Providing at least 7.8 inches of
clearance on all sides will enable proper ventilation. Give your new UPS some
time to charge before connecting the computer, router or monitor. Turn on the
unit when charged and connect the load afterwards. Never connect printer and
scanner to your UPS as it degrades UPS life due to variable and high current
need of these equipment. This unit is 360W and should be operated within this
given range.
Other notable features of this UPS are as follows: universal
sockets that means easy of use in connecting various loads, built-in boost and
block AVR, fuse protection, and a new feature- USB port for mobile charging.
USB charging dock can be found on the right side of the UPS, with manual on and
off switch to enable or disable. In case you need to charge your gadget, this
UPS can provide that extra USB charging dock for you.
