How to Configure an Uninterruptible Power Supply


An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a device connected between a computer or another piece of electronic equipment and a power source, such as an electrical outlet. The UPS ensures that the electrical flow to the computer is not interrupted because of a power outage and, in most cases, protects the computer against potentially damaging events such as power surges and brownouts. When a power outage occurs, the UPS provides a limited amount of time for you to save documents, exit applications, and turn off the computer. Different UPS models offer different levels of protection.

To configure your UPS on Windows 10, plug in the power cables of the pc to the UPS and windows 10 will detect it as a battery
