Eaton 9PX 1500VA 1350W 120V Online Double-Conversion UPS

Protect your critical IT infrastructure with the Eaton 9PX 1500VA 1350W 120V Online Double-Conversion UPS. Engineered for reliability, efficiency, and intelligent management, this 2U rack/tower system delivers pristine power in harsh power environments—from data centers to edge deployments. Its lithium-ion battery option reduces maintenance intervals and total cost of ownership, while the Cybersecure Network Card enables secure, remote monitoring and management across your network. Designed for uptime in servers, storage, networking gear, and healthcare or financial edge devices, the Eaton 9PX is a resilient backbone for modern hybrid IT where every watt of power counts and every millisecond of downtime matters.

• Online double-conversion protection ensures perfectly regulated output voltage and frequency, transforming incoming AC power into DC and back to AC with negligible transfer time. This topology isolates sensitive equipment from input disturbances—brownouts, voltage sags, surges, and line noise—so servers stay online and data remains intact even during adverse mains conditions.
• 1.5 kVA / 1.35 kW at 120V capacity provides robust battery-backed protection for essential workloads. This level of backup power is ideal for critical applications like domain controllers, virtualization hosts, and essential network gear, giving you time to gracefully shut down or failover during outages without compromising service continuity.
• Lithium-ion battery option delivers longer service life, faster recharge, lighter weight, and less environmental impact compared with traditional VRLA batteries. The Li-ion configuration reduces maintenance windows and lowers total cost of ownership over the UPS lifecycle while maintaining reliable runtime for short- to medium-duration outages.
• Eight 5-15R outlets and one 5-15P input streamline wiring for dense rack deployments. The eight outputs provide ample proximity outlets for servers, storage, switches, and patch panels, while a single input cord connects the UPS to a 120V power source, simplifying installation in small and medium-sized data environments.
• Cybersecure Network Card for secure remote management enables encrypted monitoring, remote configuration, firmware updates, and alerting over the network. This capability is essential for IT operations that require centralized control, audit trails, and resilience against cyber threats while maintaining rapid response times to power events.

How to install Eaton 9PX 1500VA 1350W 120V Online Double-Conversion UPS

• Plan your installation in a clean, well-ventilated area with ample clearance for air intake and servicing. If mounting in a rack, ensure the rack is stable and properly grounded, with space for cable management and battery access.
• Mount the UPS in a standard 19-inch rack or position it as a secure tower on a stable surface. Use the included rack rails or feet as required, ensuring the unit is level and fully supported to avoid vibration or tipping during operation.
• Connect your protected equipment to the eight NEMA 5-15R outlets. Distribute loads to prioritize critical devices such as servers, storage controllers, and network gear, keeping less time-sensitive components on separate outlets if possible to simplify load management during an outage.
• Connect the UPS to mains power using the included 5-15P input plug. Use a dedicated grounded circuit where possible to minimize the risk of nuisance tripping and to ensure the UPS can draw sufficient current during a blackout or surge event.
• Install and configure the Cybersecure Network Card if not pre-installed. Connect the UPS to your network via Ethernet and configure IP addresses, user access, and alert policies using the Eaton software suite. Enable secure remote monitoring, live event dashboards, and automatic shutdown scripts for protected devices.
• Power up the UPS and verify initial status. Check battery health, runtime estimates at your typical load, and alarm indicators. Run a controlled load test to confirm proper switching to battery and graceful shutdown behavior for protected equipment when required.
• Document your configuration for IT asset management and disaster recovery. Include outlet assignments, network management credentials, and notification channels so your team can act quickly during an outage or maintenance window.
