Uninterruptible Power Supply Guidelines

An uninteruptible power supply (UPS) is an important part of a comprehensive power delivery system. In the event of a power failure, having a generator on your building is not enough to keep your computers going. A UPS is a battery that sits between a computer and the power that keeps it running. A UPS supplies power to your computers when power has failed, and the building generators are spinning up.
