Where do I install the UPS system?

UPS systems come in a variety of sizes and form factors.

• Desktop models are compact and protect computers and peripherals.
• Tower models are placed upright on the ground or on a desk or shelf. They are normally used with network workstations or desktop computer applications.
• Rackmount models can be mounted in a standard 19" rack enclosure and require anywhere from 1U to 14U (U = rack space). They are normally used in server and networking applications.

Although it is important to select the exact UPS you require that has all the necessary features, a UPS is not always inexpensive. However, if you want to protect your technology investment, you should get one as soon as possible.
