If you're talking about how to hook the UPS up to the PC in order for the UPS to be able to shut the PC down during a power outage, most require a USB cable. Some older models like the one I have use the old style serial port and thus require a serial cable, but if it's a new UPS there's a 99% chance you need to buy a USB cable like this one:
-First you need to connect the UPS overnight to charge the battery.
-Normally the UPS comes with instructions of how to connect the battery because the manufacture ship the UPS with the battery inside disconnected.
-Then after the UPS is charge connect the UPS directly to the was WITHOUT using a power strip
-After that connect the CPU and the Monitor to the back of the UPS there is a plug behind the UPS that says SURGE those doesn't provide electricity after a power outages those are only to protect devices normally used for speakers.
-Remember UPS are to protect the CPU after power outages giving you time to save and correctly power off the computer.
If you are referring to an uninterruptible power supply, it could not be easier. Plug the UPS into the AC outlet. Plug your computer into the UPS. Voila!
