How to install Eaton 9PX 5000VA 208V UPS

• Prepare the installation area: choose a well-ventilated rack or cabinet space with adequate clearance for cooling, service access, and cabling, and ensure a dedicated 208V circuit with appropriate protection is available.
• Mount the UPS: install the 3U UPS in the rack or position it as a tower according to your facility’s layout and cooling design, using the manufacturer’s mounting hardware.
• Connect the input power: attach a 208V feed to the L6-30P input connector, ensuring the circuit breaker and wiring are rated for the UPS’s input current and that power is available for load management during site commissioning.
• Connect loads to outlets: distribute critical devices to the L6-20R and L6-30R outlets, grouping servers, network devices, storage, and other essential equipment to maximize uptime during outages and to simplify load balancing.
• Install the Cybersecure Network Card and connect to the network: insert or enable the Cybersecure Network Card, connect the UPS to a secured network, and configure IP addressing, access controls, and security policies using Eaton software tools.
• Configure management software and perform a test: install Eaton PowerXpert or PowerChute Network Shutdown on connected servers, set alert thresholds, run a self-test, and verify that graceful shutdown procedures trigger as intended during simulated outages.
• Plan for extended runtime (optional): if you anticipate longer outages, provision external battery cabinets and configure runtime mapping to meet your service levels. Validate the runtime with a simulated load test to confirm it meets your organizational requirements.
