How to install Eaton 5PX G2 UPS

Installing the Eaton 5PX G2 is designed to be straightforward, with minimal downtime and flexible placement options. Follow these steps to ensure a safe, reliable setup that maximizes uptime and protection:

• Plan the placement: Decide between rack-mount or tower installation. The 2U chassis is designed for 19-inch racks, but you can stabilize the unit in a tower orientation if space is limited.
• Secure mounting: Use the included rack ears and mounting hardware for a secure 19-inch rack installation. If using as a tower, position on a stable, level surface to prevent tipping and ensure adequate airflow.
• Position for cooling: Ensure proper airflow around the UPS. Avoid enclosed spaces or areas with obstructed vents to prevent overheating during extended runtimes.
• Connect critical devices: Plug essential servers, switches, storage, and network gear into the 8 NEMA 5-15R outlets. Prioritize devices that must stay online during a power event.
• Connect to power and network: Plug the UPS into a dedicated 120V wall outlet. Install the Cybersecure Network Card according to the user manual to enable secure remote management.
• Initial setup and charging: Allow the UPS to fully charge before placing it into service to achieve optimal battery health. Use Eaton’s management software or the included interface to configure shutdown policies and notifications.
• Test the system: Perform a controlled outage test to verify proper battery startup, AVR operation, and graceful shutdown procedures for connected equipment.

Frequently asked questions

• What does extended run mean for the Eaton 5PX G2? Extended Run refers to longer battery runtime, which helps sustain critical equipment during longer outages and provides more time to perform orderly shutdowns.
• Is the Cybersecure Network Card required for network monitoring? While not required, the Cybersecure Network Card enhances remote management, secure updates, and centralized monitoring for networks with stringent security requirements.
• Can I mount the UPS in a standard rack? Yes. The 2U form factor is designed for standard 19-inch racks, making it easy to consolidate power protection within your existing IT enclosure.
• Will AVR protect my devices from brownouts? Yes. Automatic Voltage Regulation corrects minor voltage fluctuations without drawing from the battery, stabilizing output to protect sensitive equipment.
• What devices should be connected to the UPS outlets? Connect critical IT equipment such as servers, network switches, storage arrays, and business-critical routers that must stay powered during outages.
• How do I monitor the UPS status? Use the included network card for remote monitoring or connect via USB/serial interfaces if available. Eaton’s software provides notifications, logs, and shutdown automation.
• Do I need to replace batteries? Batteries in the 5PX G2 are designed for long life, but like all UPS batteries, they eventually require replacement to maintain peak runtime and reliability.
