That doesn't protect against surges though - any weirdness from the mains power would still fry your server through the unprotected power supply.

- dragontamer 6y agoSurge protectors are pretty cheap, and I generally assume that all expensive equipment would use them when connecting to mains.
- adrianmonk 6y agoAlso, surge protectors wear out and should be replaced before they lose the ability to protect. This will probably occur at a different time than when the UPS wears out, so it could be beneficial to keep them separate so you can replace the surge protector only.
- marcosdumay 6y agoYou don't need an UPS to protect against surges. In fact, UPSs aren't surge protection devices; they may filter a few of those, but they should be protected too.
