Description

Eaton 9PX 5500VA 4900W 120V/208V Online Double-Conversion UPS

Power protection you can trust for critical IT workloads, edge deployments, and distributed data centers. The Eaton 9PX 5500VA UPS delivers reliable online double-conversion power in a compact 4U rack-mount form factor, supplying both 120V and 208V outputs without the bulk and expense of a transformer or distribution module. This transformerless, split-phase UPS combines high efficiency, fast transient response, and robust runtime options with advanced remote management capabilities. With a dedicated cybersecure network card and scalable runtime through optional external battery modules, the 9PX 5500VA is designed to safeguard servers, virtualization hosts, storage devices, and networking gear across on-premises, hybrid, and edge environments.

  • High-capacity, space-efficient protection: 5500 VA / 4900 W capacity fits in just 4U of rack space, making it ideal for mid-range IT deployments, edge computing nodes, and compact data centers. The compact form factor preserves valuable rack space while delivering enterprise-grade power protection for critical workloads.
  • Online double-conversion for pristine power: Delivers continuous, clean output with tight voltage regulation, complete isolation from utility disturbances, and zero transfer time during outages. This topology ensures sensitive equipment—servers, hyperconverged infrastructure, database systems, and virtual machines—operate without interruption, even as input power fluctuates.
  • Flexible 120V/208V output and versatile connections: The UPS provides split-phase output tailored to mixed IT environments, enabling 120V for some devices and 208V for others. It features six 5-20R receptacles, plus dedicated hardwired outlets including L6-30R and L14-30R, and an additional L14-30R for critical distribution. The included Cybersecure Network Card enables secure remote monitoring and management across on-premises and cloud-based environments, all while preserving data integrity and uptime.
  • Extended runtime and easy maintenance: Internal batteries with hot-swappable design allow quick battery replacement without downtime. Optional external battery modules (EBMs) can dramatically extend runtime for long-duration outages or mission-critical workloads. Battery health monitoring, automatic diagnostics, and modular serviceability minimize maintenance overhead and ensure readiness when it matters most.
  • Intelligent management, security, and interoperability: The Cybersecure Network Card and Eaton management software ecosystem (PowerXpert, PowerChute) deliver centralized control, secure remote access, alerting, graceful shutdown automation, virtualization integration, and SNMP/SSH compatibility. This enables proactive protection, simplifies compliance reporting, and supports scalable IT operations across campuses and data centers.

How to install Eaton 9PX 5500VA UPS

  • Plan the rack space: Ensure a well-ventilated, level location with accessible front-panel controls and adequate clearance for service and cable routing.
  • Prepare mounting: Install rack rails and confirm weight capacity for the 4U chassis, including anticipated battery and EBMs if you plan extended runtime.
  • Mount the UPS: Secure the 9PX 5500VA unit in the rack, aligning rails with the front of the rack for easy access to outlets and the front panel.
  • Connect input power: Run an appropriately rated 4-wire input cable to the L14-30P receptacle from a suitable power source or distribution panel. Ensure the input circuit is protected and meets local electrical codes.
  • Connect IT loads: Route power cords from the six 5-20R outlets and any hardwired connections to servers, storage, networking gear, and other critical devices. Leave some headroom for future growth as workloads evolve.
  • Install management card and network access: Insert the Cybersecure Network Card into the designated slot if not pre-installed, connect a network cable, and configure IP addresses or DHCP according to your network policy. Install and configure Eaton PowerXpert or PowerChute software for monitoring, alerts, and orderly shutdowns.
  • Initial startup and battery conditioning: Power on the UPS and allow the internal batteries to begin charging. Perform a basic self-test via the front panel or management software to verify status indicators and sensor readings.
  • Configure protection policies: Set overload, short-circuit, and battery test intervals, establish notification thresholds, and define graceful shutdown parameters for hosted virtual machines or critical workloads.
  • Plan for runtime monitoring: If you added EBMs, connect and configure them to extend runtime as needed. Schedule regular battery health checks and capacity tests to ensure readiness during outages.
  • Documentation and access control: Record configuration details, network credentials, and maintenance windows. Ensure only authorized personnel can modify protection settings to maintain security and reliability.

Frequently asked questions

  • What environments is the Eaton 9PX suitable for? It is designed for IT installations, edge networks, small to mid-sized data centers, and virtualization environments where uptime and clean power are critical.
  • What does extended run mean? Extended Run refers to the ability to attach external battery modules (EBMs) to increase runtime during outages, allowing longer graceful shutdowns or continued operation for essential services.
  • Does the 9PX provide both 120V and 208V? Yes, the 9PX offers split-phase output that supports 120V and 208V loads, enabling flexibility across mixed equipment environments.
  • Is a network card included? Yes, the Cybersecure Network Card is included for secure remote monitoring and management. It enables encrypted communication and integration with management software.
  • How do I monitor and manage the UPS? Use Eaton PowerXpert or PowerChute software (and compatible SNMP management tools) to monitor status, run diagnostics, perform graceful shutdowns, and receive alerts. The front-panel interface also provides real-time status and battery information.
