Storm tips
 storm
 
The recent storms have done some significant damage to more than a few of our clients.  Here are a few tips on how to protect your computers if there is a chance of severe weather.
 
  • Turn off your computer, your printer and everything connected to it.
  •  Unplug all the power cords.  Yes, even if you have a great surge protector. Unplug everything from the electrical outlet in the wall.
  • Unplug your ethernet cable (your internet cable).
  • Make sure your modem and your router are unplugged.
 
When lightening strikes, the electrical current
can travel through your ethernet and phone lines as well as through your electrical connections. The recent electrical storms damaged a number of our clients computer's ethernet connections.
