Eaton 5PX G2 1000VA 1000W 120V Line-Interactive UPS - 8 NEMA 5-15R Outlets, Cybersecure Network Card Option, Extended Run, 2 U Rack/Tower

Power reliability is essential for distributed IT, telecom, and enterprise deployments. The Eaton 5PX G2 1000VA UPS delivers trusted battery backup and robust AC power protection to safeguard critical equipment, data integrity, and business continuity. Designed for server rooms, data closets, and edge deployments, this 1kVA/1kW line-interactive UPS provides clean, stable power even when the grid fluctuates, helping to prevent outages, brownouts, surges, and line noise from compromising your hardware and your data.

• Reliable battery backup for critical gear: The 5PX G2 provides immediate power continuity during outages, allowing for graceful shutdowns, file integrity protection, and continued operation of essential systems while the electrical service stabilizes.
• Eight NEMA 5-15R outlets for flexible device protection: A generous outlet count lets you harden an entire rack or workstation cluster—servers, switches, storage, routers, and other peripherals—all protected from power disturbances.
• 2U rack/tower flexibility with extended run capabilities: Install it in a standard 19-inch rack or place it on a shelf or desk. When you need longer runtime, extend your capability with compatible battery packs to keep devices alive during longer outages.
• Cybersecure Network Card option for secure monitoring: For organizations that demand remote management and policy-compliant control, the optional network card enables secure, remote monitoring, controlled shutdowns, and centralized power management across multiple devices and sites.
• Intelligent power protection and efficiency features: Line-interactive topology with AVR (automatic voltage regulation) trims surges and sags, while managed shut down and energy-efficient operations help reduce energy costs and extend battery life when the UPS is active.

How to install Eaton 5PX G2 1000VA 1000W 120V Line-Interactive UPS

• Plan placement: Choose a well-ventilated area with stable ambient temperatures and away from heat sources. Determine whether you will mount the unit in a rack or position it on a stable surface to support a 2U profile.
• Mount or position the UPS: If rack-mounting, secure the unit in a standard 19-inch rack using appropriate hardware. If using as a tower, ensure the base is stable and level to prevent tipping during power events.
• Connect loads to outlets: Plug critical devices into the eight NEMA 5-15R outlets. Group essential servers, storage devices, switches, and network gear to ensure priority during an outage.
• Connect to mains and verify power: Plug the UPS into a properly grounded 120V outlet. Confirm the unit powers on normally and indicates healthy operation before attaching all equipment.
• Optional network card installation: If you are using the Cybersecure Network Card, install it per manufacturer guidance and connect the card to your network to enable secure remote monitoring and automated shutdown policies.
• Install power management software: Install Eaton or compatible power management software on critical servers to enable controlled shutdown, event logging, and alerting. Configure alert thresholds, runtime expectations, and notification channels.
• Configure runtime and alarms: Set runtime estimates for your connected load and enable audible/visual alerts that inform operators of battery status, outages, or line disturbances.
• Perform a test shutdown: Conduct a controlled power-down test by simulating a power outage, verifying that connected devices shut down gracefully and data logs reflect the event.
