Eaton 9PX 8000VA 7200W Online Double-Conversion UPS – 6U Rack-Mount with Extended Run

Engineered for IT rooms, edge data centers, and critical network infrastructure, the Eaton 9PX 8000VA 7200W Online Double-Conversion UPS delivers rock-solid power protection with seamless transition, intelligent monitoring, and scalable runtime. This high-performance UPS provides both 120V and 208V output from a single, compact 6U rack footprint, enabling flexible deployment without the weight and expense of bulky transformers or distribution modules. With hardwired input, hardwired output, and cybersecure network capabilities, it’s built to safeguard servers, storage arrays, network gear, and virtualization platforms against outages, brownouts, and voltage sags. Its modular design supports extended runtimes through external battery modules, making it ideal for data centers, edge facilities, and mission-critical applications where uptime is non-negotiable.

• Uninterrupted power protection with online double-conversion topology: The 9PX operates as a rigorously regulated online UPS, delivering clean, isolated power with automatic voltage regulation, superb transient response, and no transfer time during outages. This ensures your IT equipment experiences consistent voltage, reduced jitter, and protection from power disturbances that can compromise performance or cause data loss.
• Flexible, dual-voltage output for diverse IT environments: Output is configurable to deliver both 120V and 208V single-phase power, enabling compatibility with a wide range of servers, storage devices, and networking gear. This versatility supports hybrid IT, virtualization hosts, and edge deployments where different systems require different voltages, all from a single UPS chassis.
• Hardwired input and hardwired output configuration for clean rack integration: The unit features a hardwired input (L6-30R) for a secure, high-current connection and hardwired output with L14-30R receptacles, simplifying cabling, improving reliability, and reducing clutter in dense rack environments. This design minimizes voltage drop and enhances electrical safety in data centers and industrial IT rooms.
• Extended Run capability to meet demanding service levels: When paired with Eaton external battery modules (EBMs), the 9PX delivers extended runtime for critical workloads during longer outages. Choose the runtime you need to bridge the gap between power events, gracefully shut down virtualized environments, or maintain operations during short utility outages.
• Cybersecure network card included for proactive management: The Cybersecure Network Card enables secure remote monitoring, policy enforcement, and streamlined shutdowns through compatible management software. Stay ahead of threats and ensure fast, automatic responses to power events in a distributed IT environment.

how to install Eaton 9PX 8000VA 7200W

• Plan the installation: Assess your rack space (6U height), confirm adequate ventilation, room for battery expansion, and a clean power path from the L6-30R input to the UPS. Ensure the rack is secured and vibro-proof to avoid movement during load changes.
• Mount the UPS in the rack: Use standard 19" rack rails to mount the 9PX securely in the rack. Verify all mounting screws are tightened and the unit sits level to prevent accidental dislodgement during maintenance or load changes.
• Connect input power: Route a dedicated 30A circuit to the L6-30R input receptacle. Ensure the circuit can handle startup surges and that wiring is compliant with local electrical codes. Avoid daisy-chaining or sharing the circuit with other high-demand devices.
• Connect IT loads to the output: Attach critical equipment to the L14-30R outlets or configure the hardwired output as required by your data center topology. Separate mission-critical devices from non-essential loads to maximize available runtime in an outage.
• Install the Cybersecure Network Card and software: Insert the network card into the specified slot and connect the UPS to the network. Install compatible Eaton software for secure remote monitoring, alerting, and automatic shutdown policies.
• Configure runtime and alerts: Use the management software to set runtime targets, alarm thresholds, notification contacts, and graceful shutdown sequences for servers and virtual machines.
• Test the system: Perform a controlled outage test to verify transfer behavior, battery status, and software-based shutdown workflows. Confirm the extended run functionality with EBMs if required.
• Document and label: Record your configurations, circuit connections, and device mappings. Label the rack and cabling for future maintenance and audits.
