How to Install Eaton 5P 1000VA UPS

Preparing for installation begins with planning a space that allows for proper airflow and accessibility. Mount the unit in a standard 19-inch equipment rack, using the supplied rails and hardware to secure the 1U chassis. Position the UPS in a location that is easily reachable for maintenance and battery replacement, while ensuring adequate clearance for cooling and cable management.

Power connections are straightforward: plug the included power cord (NEMA 5-15P) into a properly grounded 120V outlet, and connect the equipment you want protected to the 5-15R outlets. For devices with high startup currents or PoE devices, distribute loads across multiple outlets to optimize protection and battery runtime during an outage.

If you purchased the optional Cybersecure Network Card, install it in the designated management slot on the UPS chassis following the user guide. This card enables secure remote monitoring and management, allowing centralized visibility into uptime, battery status, and event logs. After wiring, power on the UPS and check that it recognizes the connected devices and reports a healthy status.

Finally, perform a basic test to verify operation: simulate a power interruption and observe the UPS response. Ensure that critical equipment maintains power or initiates a safe shutdown as configured. Regularly test the unit and replace the battery per Eaton’s maintenance recommendations to preserve runtime and protection levels.
