powering EBS VD, surge protection.

heya,
so ive got EBS valve drive and now abit confused on how to be switching power on/off. Doesnt simply (un)pluging it cause damage of some sort even if its 12V?

Also is there a diference in switching it on before amp is on or switching it off before switching the amp off. If i unplug it when amp is on theres a nasty, pop comming out of speakers.

Now the surge protected extention leads. Does it help keeping the rig healthy?
