Some surge protectors and uninterruptible power supplies include simple line-conditioning
capabilities.

Uninterruptible power supplies
Use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect your server from data loss during a total
power failure. A UPS uses a battery to keep your server running temporarily during a power
failure and lets you save your work and shut down your server. You cannot run your server for
an extended period of time while using only the UPS. To buy a UPS, visit
