Not only human beings suffer the heat. High temperatures also affect devices in information technology and communication (ICT).

If these high records are added thermal changes in voltage and power outages, caused by increased consumption, the picture becomes very worrisome and also for PC other electronic equipment such as faxes, modems, telephones and ADSL lines.

These devices are those that are more prone to overheating and some form of accelerated aging.

In this scenario, since the companies that provide uninterruptible power to recommend taking into account energy, during this time , the following tips :

• Keep computers and sensitive electronic equipment at an average temperature of between 20 and 25°. If the environment is above 30 degrees, increasing the risk of system collapse. If you can not air the room, the days of 40 degrees should turn it off or use it directly as little as possible. If the machine is properly configured, will turn itself off as entering the danger zone. Otherwise, you can interrupt work to make a mistake. Even some of its components could be burned.

• Save files on a regular basis are being used, so in case of power failure or brownout, the computer will reboot, but you keep all the information that you’re working. For example, set the auto recovery tool every five minutes, not 10 minutes as from the factory.

• Carry out the correct sequence of programs and system shutdown to preserve data and operating system.

• Make backup copies of important information that is stored on your computer.

• Do not connect the PC or its components directly to the outlet. A UPS will keep equipment running if the power is suspended.

• The modem and the phone are so vulnerable to shock as the PC. They can be protected individually or in many cases, the same UPS has entries specifically designed for safekeeping.

• If there is no air- conditioning, avoid demanding tasks for hardware, such as 3D games, until the air temperature drops to normal levels. However, we can write, using the e- mail, surf the web, or working with spreadsheet.
