Step 6Powering Down Peripherals
This is the easiest step. I have a few peripherals connected to my computer including an external drive for backup purposes. The external drive would have to remain on at all times for my scheduled backup to run unless it could be shutdown with the computer. That's where the Smart Strip from BITS Limited comes in. This is a power strip that powers down your peripherals for you. All you need to do is:
1. Plug your PC power into the designated outlet on the strip.
2. Plug anything that needs to be constantly on into the "Constant Power" outlets.
3. Plug peripherals that can be turned off with the computer into the "Switched" outlets.
The strip senses when the computer is shut down or in power save mode and cuts power to the peripherals in the switched outlets. NICE!!
