Re: protection against poert surge-(lightning)

wow thank you 2k, now I know or "think" i know what to hook up to the UPS, jazzy

As far as deciding what to connect to which UPS, I generally adhere to a 'one computer, one UPS' policy.

Each computer has its own UPS, that makes sure that each gets maximum benefit of the battery when power does go out.
Only things usually connected to the UPS sockets are the CPU and the monitor (got to keep the CPU running, and need the monitor to see the screen to shut down smoothly).

Peripherals such as external disk drives also get a hookup to the UPS side of the unit.

Peripherals like printers and powered speakers only get connected to the sockets with surge suppression only - NOT the UPS side.
