    Power Sockets Issue

    Guys,



    Please help me out with this.



    I have:

    1. Belkin Economy power strip

    2. APC 550VA UPS



    Should I connect the power strip to the wall socket and plug in the UPS to the strip's socket? [ Mains -> Strip -> UPS ]



    Or should I plug in the power strip to one of the two UPS sockets? [ Mains -> UPS -> Strip ]



    Any reasons?



    The problem is that I need sockets for: modem, speakers, monitor and CPU. The APC UPS has only two sockets at the back (if I'm not wrong).

    Use following only...



    [ Mains -> Strip -> UPS ]


    If you connect Strip to UPS then unnecessary load will increase.. I am myself using same config for my APC UPS since last 3 years...



    Though UPS manufacturers recommend UPS to be connected directly to mains, its not always possible with so many peripherals & only one power socket.. I would recommend to use output (Mains) with at-least 16Amps rated & then you can connect Strip --> UPS..

    ^well my setup is also a bit same..

    it's like Power--->Extension--->UPS..

    using it for last 9 months & is working like a charm..

    even i'm having APC 650VA UPS & i've connected my speakers to Surge Protection only.

    @OP just connect monitor & CPU to UPS & rest of the stuffs to the surge protector..
