Eaton 9PX 700VA 630W 120V Online Double-Conversion UPS - 5-15P, 8x 5-15R Outlets, Cybersecure Network Card Option, Extended Run, 2U Rack/Tower

Deliver unmatched power reliability for IT installations and edge networks with the Eaton 9PX 700VA UPS. This online double-conversion uninterruptible power supply is purpose-built to protect critical servers, network gear, and storage devices from outages, voltage sags, surges, and disruptive line noise. Designed for both rack-mount and tower deployments, the 9PX 700VA combines advanced power conditioning, high-efficiency operation, and scalable runtime to keep essential equipment online through short outages and extended power events alike. Whether you are protecting a small data center, remote office, or edge computing node, this unit offers clean, stable power with smart management capabilities that help you keep services available and data intact.

• Reliable online double-conversion protection: The 9PX uses online double-conversion topology to continuously convert incoming AC power to DC and back to clean, tightly regulated AC. This delivers a pure sine wave with excellent voltage regulation, minimizes harmonic distortion, and shields connected equipment from brief outages, brownouts, surges, and disruptive line noise. The result is predictable behavior for servers, switches, storage arrays, and network gear, even in electrically noisy environments.
• 2U rack/tower form factor with flexible deployment: Engineered for modern IT spaces, this UPS fits 2U in standard racks or can stand alone as a tower, giving you versatile placement options in crowded server rooms or remote sites. The compact footprint keeps valuable rack space available for equipment while still delivering professional-grade protection and control. The rugged chassis is built for steady, long-term operation in challenging environments.
• Eight (8) 5-15R outlets plus one input receptacle: With eight full-size 5-15R outlets, you can power multiple servers, switches, storage devices, and network appliances from a single unit. The dedicated input connection (5-15P) draws 120V nominal power with a compact footprint designed for standard wall outlets in the U.S. and compatible regions. This arrangement simplifies cabling and ensures you have battery-backed outlets exactly where you need them most.
• Cybersecure network management option for visibility and control: The Eaton Cybersecure Network Card option adds secure, remote management capabilities. Through IntelliSlot and compatible software, you can monitor UPS health, configure shutdown policies, perform firmware updates, and receive alert notifications over your network. This feature is ideal for IT teams that require centralized power management, integration with existing monitoring tools, and protected access to critical power data.
• Extended runtimes with scalable battery options: When outages last longer than the UPS can sustain, you can expand run time with external battery packs designed for the 9PX platform. This scalable runtime capability makes the 9PX suitable for longer maintenance windows, longer power outages, or green-energy scenarios where you want to maximize uptime without sacrificing data integrity or performance.

How to Install Eaton 9PX 700VA UPS

Installing the Eaton 9PX 700VA is straightforward and designed to minimize downtime while maximizing protection. Follow these steps to set up the unit in a rack, cabinet, or as a standalone tower, and to align it with your existing IT infrastructure.

1) Choose the installation site: Select a cool, well-ventilated location with adequate clearance for airflow and ease of access to outlets and maintenance panels. If mounting in a rack, ensure the mounting rails are securely attached and capable of supporting the UPS weight when the battery is installed and connected. For tower use, place the unit on a stable surface with sufficient clearance from walls and other gear.

2) Mounting and orientation: If you’re installing in a rack, mount the UPS in a location that allows easy connection of input power and loads. Ensure clear access to the front panel indicators and the rear battery compartment or battery access doors as applicable. Follow your rack’s guidelines for weight distribution and vibration damping.

3) Connect the input power: Plug the supplied NEMA 5-15P power cord into a properly rated 120V outlet. Do not exceed the outlet’s capacity; ensure the circuit can handle the combined load of the UPS and connected devices. Route cables neatly to prevent obstruction of airflow and to simplify future maintenance.

4) Connect protected devices: Use the 8 x 5-15R outlets to connect critical equipment such as servers, switches, storage bridges, and network appliances. Group core IT gear on essential outlets to maximize uptime during an outage. Avoid daisy-chaining multiple power strips from the UPS; instead, connect devices directly to the UPS outlets.

5) Battery installation and self-test: If battery maintenance or replacement is needed, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install or service the battery modules. Power on the unit and perform a self-test from the front panel or management software to confirm proper operation. This self-test helps validate battery health and ensures the UPS is ready to respond to faults.

6) Network management (optional): If you opt for the Cybersecure Network Card, install the card in the IntelliSlot and connect the UPS to your network according to the card’s documentation. Configure monitoring software or a compatible SNMP tool to receive alerts, perform graceful shutdowns, and schedule battery tests. This step enables proactive protection and reduces the risk of data loss during power events.

7) Software integration and reporting: Install the recommended power management software on a management server or workstation. Configure alerts, automatic shutdown policies, and event logging. Establish a test plan to verify that connected equipment gracefully shuts down during extended outages and that sensitive devices maintain integrity during short disturbances.

8) Extended runtime planning (optional): If you anticipate longer outages, plan for external battery packs and configure runtime calculations in the management software. Define shutdown thresholds and ensure your critical servers stay online long enough to complete write operations and preserve data integrity until power is restored.

9) Regular maintenance: Schedule periodic battery health tests and firmware updates as recommended by Eaton. Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected downtime and extends the life of the UPS and its protective capabilities. Document test results and keep a log for auditing and operational continuity.
