" ... The UPS itself is manufactured with High Quality Materials and can be mounted on a wall or other surface with the two mounting inserts conveniently molded into the side resulting in a flush, gap-free cosmetic mount . ... If you prefer not to mount the UPS, it looks great standing firmly on most surfaces and the beautiful white shell color blends into almost any decor . ... "
" ... This way I will somewhat protect them from lightning. ... "
