How to Install Eaton 9PX 11kVA 10kW 208V Online Double-Conversion UPS

• Plan your rack layout and verify the installation site supports a 9U footprint, proper ventilation, and adequate clearance for maintenance and battery replacement.
• Mount the UPS securely in a standard 19-inch rack using the supplied rails, ensuring the front panel remains accessible for monitoring and maintenance.
• Connect the input power to a dedicated 208V circuit with the appropriate breaker sizing and wiring, using a hardwired connection as specified by your facility’s electrical code.
• Distribute your IT loads across the outlets: place mission-critical devices on the 2x L14-30R outlets for high-priority equipment and use the 8x 5-20R outlets for other essential gear, maintaining a balanced load to optimize runtime.
• Install the Cybersecure Network Card in the designated management slot and connect the UPS to your network infrastructure. Configure IP settings through the web interface or Eaton’s management software, set up alerts, and enable secure remote access.
• Power up the UPS, perform a self-test, calibrate output sensors, and verify communication with connected devices and monitoring software. Validate battery health periodically and schedule firmware updates as needed.
• If you plan to extend runtime, connect optional External Battery Modules (EBMs) and configure Extended Run settings in the management software to meet your uptime targets.
