- Do not plug newly constructed untested devices into the power outlet in your cubicle. You need power for most of your productivity and a fried outlet will throw a monkey wrench into your workflow.
- When wiring up a new device, it is important to check the board connection on the power cable to ascertain that hot and neutral have not been transposed.
- When plugging in an untested device, it is better to ascertain that it will not smoke before plugging in the serial cable connecting it to your valuable computer. RS-232 is notoriously non-surge resistant.
- When involved in a power mishap, a couple hundred dollar motherboard will protect the breaker on a computer power supply by blowing up before the breaker can trip.
- Back up your work to the server frequently.
