Eaton 9PX 3000VA 2700W 120V Online Double-Conversion UPS - L5-30P, 6x 5-20R, 1 L5-30R Outlets, Cybersecure Network Card, Extended Run, 2U Rack/Tower - Battery Backup

Protect your critical IT infrastructure with the Eaton 9PX 3000VA 120V online double-conversion UPS. Engineered for reliability in data centers, edge networks, and server rooms, this 2U rack/tower system delivers clean, continuous power to servers, storage arrays, virtualization hosts, and network equipment. Its 3000 VA capacity (2700 W) at 120V, superb surge suppression, and advanced management features are designed to minimize downtime, safeguard data, and support modern hybrid workloads. The integrated Cybersecure Network Card enables secure remote monitoring and configuration, while Extended Run options let you tailor runtime to your business needs. Whether you’re protecting a small colocation rack or a growing edge deployment, the 9PX is built to deliver resilience, efficiency, and flexible deployment in a compact footprint.

• Online double-conversion power protection that continuously converts incoming AC to DC and back to a pristine 120V output, delivering a clean, perfectly regulated sine wave under all load and input conditions. This topology isolates sensitive equipment from outages, voltage sags, harmonics, and transient spikes, helping prevent data corruption and hardware failures during power events.
• Flexible form factor and outlets designed for mixed IT environments: a 2U rack/tower convertible chassis, input powered by a standard 120V L5-30P, and a comprehensive outlet array that includes 6x 5-20R plus 1x L5-30R. Load distribution is simplified for servers, switches, storage, and edge devices, with room for diverse cabling and front/back access to cables during maintenance.
• Cybersecure Network Card included for secure, remote management: access robust monitoring, event logging, firmware updates, and configuration through secure web interfaces and supported management platforms. This card enables timely shutdown automation, real-time status alerts, and policy-based power protection, reducing administrative overhead and improving IT governance.
• Extended Run capability with scalable runtime options: pair the 9PX with external battery modules to extend outage protection for longer maintenance windows or critical workloads. This expands uptime without sacrificing performance, making it an ideal choice for remote data centers, satellite offices, and edge deployments where outages can be unpredictable.
• Efficiency and enterprise-friendly management: designed for high efficiency at a wide range of loads, the 9PX helps lower operating costs through optimized power conversion and energy-saving modes. It integrates with Eaton Power Management software, supports virtualization-aware shutdowns for VMware and Hyper-V environments, and provides actionable metrics to optimize capacity planning and resilience across multi-site networks.

How to install Eaton 9PX 3000VA 120V Online Double-Conversion UPS

• Plan your installation location: choose a cool, dry, well-ventilated space with unobstructed rear access for cabling, a solid surface, and appropriate clearance for maintenance and airflow.
• Choose placement: install the unit in a 19-inch rack with rails for a secure, space-efficient setup, or position it upright as a tower if rack space is limited, ensuring stability and proper cable management.
• Connect power and loads: plug the L5-30P input into a dedicated 120V circuit with proper protection; distribute critical devices to the 5-20R outlets and connect essential equipment to the L5-30R outlet, keeping total connected load within the rated capacity.
• Install the Cybersecure Network Card and configure: insert or enable the included network card, assign a management IP, and set credentials. Configure firewall rules, SNMP communities, and access policies to safeguard remote monitoring and control.
• Power up and test: switch on the UPS, run a self-test from the front panel or management software, verify battery health and runtime, and confirm that alerts are reaching the intended administrators or monitoring systems.
• Integrate with your environment: install Eaton Power Management software or compatible virtualization integrations to automate graceful shutdowns, monitor UPS health, and generate reports that support capacity planning and compliance requirements.
