The XE also uses a more efficient Active Power Factor Correction (APFC) power supply. Dell recommends only Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) based on Sine Wave output for APFC PSUs, not an approximation of a Sine Wave, Square Wave, or quasi-Square Wave. If you have questions, please contact the manufacture to confirm the output type.
