That's why we have the computer do it for us.  ;-)

Uninterruptable Power Supply.   Something more than a power
conditioner, but teeny weeny both because dumbo is teeny
weeny and because we don't need (much of) the usual function of 
a UPS which is to supply power when the main power goes
out.  We just want to prevent bad power from killing dumbo.

May as well plug your Internet router into it also.  That will
prevent it from "hanging", sometimes.
