The Eaton 5PX G2 3000VA UPS is engineered to protect your critical IT infrastructure with reliable battery backup and comprehensive power conditioning. Designed for distributed IT, telecom, and enterprise deployments, this line-interactive UPS delivers clean, continuous energy to servers, network gear, storage devices, and edge equipment. With a compact 3U rack/tower form factor, it fits seamlessly into data centers, server rooms, and even tight office environments. The 5PX G2 combines advanced protection features with a cybersecurity-friendly network management card, enabling secure remote monitoring and control over your power ecosystem while reducing the risk of data loss during outages or voltage irregularities.

• Robust power protection for essential equipment: 3,000 VA / 3,000 W capacity provides ample headroom for servers, switches, firewalls, NAS devices, and other critical hardware. The line-interactive topology with automatic voltage regulation (AVR) stabilizes incoming power, minimizing the impact of brownouts and overvoltages so your devices stay online and data integrity is preserved.
• Comprehensive outlet configuration for versatile deployments: Features 6 NEMA 5-20R outlets plus 1 NEMA L5-30R, allowing you to connect a mix of IT gear, network appliances, and peripherals. This configuration is ideal for distributed IT racks, edge deployments, and telecom closets where diverse equipment must be powered reliably from a single secure source.
• Extended runtime options for longer outages: Built to deliver more than just a few minutes of backup, the 5PX G2 supports extended run with optional battery modules. This enables you to gracefully shut down servers, preserve work in progress, and maintain critical operations during longer outages or maintenance windows without sacrificing performance or data integrity.
• Cybersecure remote management included: The included Cybersecure Network Card provides secure, remote access to power management data. Monitor voltage, load, battery health, and run-time, configure safe alerts, and integrate with your existing IT monitoring stack while maintaining strong cybersecurity controls to protect against unauthorized access.
• Flexible deployment in a compact 3U form factor: Rack-mountable in a standard 19-inch rack or conveniently placed in tower mode for space-constrained environments. The 3U design minimizes footprint in cluttered server rooms while delivering enterprise-grade protection and easy scalability as your infrastructure grows.

how to install Eaton 5PX G2 3000VA 3000W 120V Line-Interactive UPS

• Unpack the unit and verify contents, including the Cybersecure Network Card, battery modules (if included), and mounting hardware.
• Mount the UPS in a standard 19" rack or position it on a stable surface in tower mode, ensuring adequate clearance for ventilation and cable routing.
• Connect the UPS to a dedicated 120 V AC circuit using the appropriate IEC/NEMA power cord, following local electrical codes and ensuring the circuit can handle the expected load.
• Plug critical devices into the six NEMA 5-20R outlets and the L5-30R outlet as needed, keeping high-priority equipment on battery-backed ports.
• Install and configure the Cybersecure Network Card for secure remote monitoring. Connect the UPS to your network, assign an IP address, and configure alerts and SNMP or IPM settings per your IT policy.
• Power on the UPS and use the onboard display or Eaton software to assess real-time status, battery health, input/output power, and expected runtime. Run a self-test to verify operation and battery readiness.
• If you plan to extend runtime, install compatible battery modules according to the user manual, then recalibrate runtime estimates and monitor health via the network card.
• Establish a regular maintenance schedule, including firmware updates for the UPS and the management card, ensuring continued protection and compatibility with your IT environment.
