How to install Eaton 9PX 3000VA 208V UPS

• Choose your mounting configuration: Install the unit in a compatible 2U rack or position it in a stable tower-oriented space. Ensure adequate ventilation and clearance for airflow and maintenance access.
• Mount and secure the UPS: If rack-mounting, attach included rails and secure the UPS firmly to the rack frame per vendor guidelines. If using a tower setup, place the unit on a level surface and ensure it is stable.
• Connect input power: Plug the L6-20P input cord into a dedicated circuit that matches the UPS rating. Confirm the circuit provides clean power and adequate overload protection.
• Plug protected devices into outlets: Connect servers, network gear, storage devices, and other critical equipment to the 2 x L6-20R outlets and the 1 x L6-30R outlet, distributing loads evenly to avoid overcurrent conditions.
• Enable management and security features: If you’ve chosen the Cybersecure Network Card, install it according to the documentation and configure remote monitoring software to securely access the UPS performance metrics.
• Power on and perform the self-test: Turn on the UPS, allow sensors to stabilize, and run a built-in self-test to verify battery health and output integrity. Check for any fault indicators and correct as needed.
• Configure runtime and notifications: Use the IPS (Intelligent Power Management) software or compatible management tools to set notification thresholds, automatic shutdown policies, and scheduled self-tests. Consider enabling automatic remote wake-up for compatible hosts.
• Plan for extended runtime: If prolonged outages are expected, install the optional Extended Run battery cabinets and configure the runtime profile to ensure essential workloads remain powered during longer blackouts.
