Eaton 5PX G2 3000VA 208V UPS – 2U Rack/Tower, 2 C19, 8 C13 Outlets, Extended Run, Cybersecure Network Card Option

Engineered for reliability in distributed IT, telecom, and enterprise deployments, the Eaton 5PX G2 3000VA 208V UPS delivers frontline protection for critical gear and data. This line-interactive UPS combines robust power capacity with flexible deployment options, helping safeguard servers, storage, networking equipment, and edge devices from blackouts, brownouts, surges, and disruptive line noise. With a 2U chassis that can be mounted in a rack or placed upright as a tower, it fits compact data centers, remote offices, and telecom closets without compromising performance. The 5PX G2 is designed for easy management, secure network-enabled monitoring, and extended runtime when you need it most, making it an essential component of modern, resilient IT infrastructure.

• Reliability and protection: The 5PX G2 uses a line-interactive topology with automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to stabilize voltage fluctuations and shield connected equipment from outages, sags, surges, and noisy power lines. This minimizes data corruption, reduces the risk of unplanned downtime, and extends the life of power supplies and IT hardware while preserving mission-critical workloads.
• Flexible deployment for modern IT spaces: Built to be rack-mounted in 2U of space or configured as a stand-alone tower, the unit adapts to a wide range of environments—from dense data centers to edge deployments. Its compact footprint, rugged chassis, and versatile outlet arrangement provide straightforward integration into existing rack profiles and cable layouts.
• Optimal power capacity with practical outlets: Delivering 3000VA / 3000W at 208V, this UPS provides two high-capacity C19 outlets for servers and storage devices and eight C13 outlets for switches, NAS, workstations, and auxiliary gear. The mixed outlet offering simplifies power distribution, reduces cable clutter, and keeps critical devices energized during disturbances.
• Security, monitoring, and remote management: The Eaton system offers an optional Cybersecure Network Card for secure remote monitoring and control, complemented by USB connectivity and compatibility with Eaton Power Management software. IT teams can monitor status, receive alerts, perform orderly shutdowns, and generate energy reports across multiple sites with confidence.
• Extended runtime and efficiency for uninterrupted operations: With Extended Run capabilities through optional battery modules, the 5PX G2 can provide longer runtimes during extended outages or maintenance windows. The design also emphasizes energy efficiency and quiet operation, reducing energy waste while delivering reliable protection when the power grid falters.

How to install Eaton 5PX G2 3000VA 208V UPS

• Choose a suitable location: Install the UPS in a well-ventilated area, either mounted in a 2U rack with rails or placed as a standalone tower in a secure space near the equipment it protects.
• Mounting and placement: If rack-mounting, attach the rails and slide the unit into the rack, ensuring there is adequate clearance for airflow and service access. If using as a tower, position on a level, non-slip surface away from heat sources.
• Connect loads to outlets: Plan outlet assignments so critical devices (servers, storage, network gear) use the 2x C19 outlets, while less critical peripherals occupy the 8x C13 outlets. Keep cabling organized to facilitate airflow and maintenance.
• Power and management connections: Plug the UPS into a properly wired AC circuit. Connect the USB management cable to a local admin PC and install the Eaton Power Management software. If using the Cybersecure Network Card, install it according to the product manual and configure secure remote monitoring.
• Initial startup and configuration: Power on the UPS and perform the built-in self-test. Use the software to configure notification presets, alarm thresholds, shutdown policies, and runtime settings. Validate that critical devices remain powered during simulated outages and verify event logs for future reference.
