Delivering robust protection against power disturbances, this UPS combines online double-conversion technology with a hardwired input and output configuration, ensuring pristine, regulated 208V power for servers, storage, virtualization platforms, and network gear. With an 8 kVA rating and 7.2 kW of usable power at 208V, the 9PX system is purpose-built to safeguard sensitive equipment against outages, surges, brownouts, and line noise that can cause data loss, hardware damage, or unplanned downtime. The unit’s 6U rack/tower form factor makes it flexible for data centers, server rooms, and edge deployments, while its cybersecure network card and centralized management capabilities simplify remote monitoring and control. This model is engineered to optimize efficiency, extend runtime with optional external battery modules, and provide secure, scalable protection for a wide range of critical workloads. If you’re looking for reliable power protection with intelligent management and easy integration into modern IT environments, the Eaton 9PX 8000VA stands out as a premier choice.

• The Eaton 9PX 8000VA spectrum is designed to deliver continuous power quality, ensuring clean sine-wave output at 208V for rack-mounted servers, virtualization hosts, SANs, and enterprise-grade networking equipment, even when the input power is unstable or interrupted.
• With online double-conversion topology, this UPS continuously converts incoming AC to DC and then back to a clean, regulated AC output, guaranteeing isolation from input fluctuations and protecting sensitive electronics from transients, harmonics, and voltage sags that can compromise performance.
• The hardwired input/output configuration reduces the risk of accidental disconnection or outlet-related limitations, while enabling a secure, code-compliant connection to your facility power distribution and ensuring a reliable, purpose-built power path for critical loads on premises.
• Equipped with a Cybersecure Network Card, the UPS provides secure remote management over the network. This feature enables administrators to monitor runtime, receive alarm notifications, perform graceful shutdowns, and integrate with enterprise management software to maintain centralized visibility and control over power events.
• Extended Run capability is a cornerstone of the 9PX design. When required, external battery modules (EBMs) can be added to scale runtime for long maintenance windows, server failovers, or data backups, making this UPS an adaptable solution for evolving workloads and growing IT environments.

How to install Eaton 9PX 8000VA 208V UPS

• Plan your deployment by selecting a stable, well-ventilated mounting location with adequate clearance for air flow and maintenance access. Decide whether you will deploy in a 6U rack bay or as a standalone tower, and prepare the hardwired connections accordingly.
• Mount the UPS securely in the chosen location. If rack-mounted, slide the unit into the rack rails and fasten it per your facility’s rack-mount guidelines. For tower deployments, stabilize the unit on a flat surface with proper clearance for front and rear access.
• Connect the input power with the hardwired wiring configuration specified by the manufacturer. Ensure the circuit is properly fused or protected and that the electrical code requirements for your region are met. Do not connect outlets directly to the UPS; use the provided hardwired terminals as directed.
• Connect your critical loads to the UPS output terminals. Attach servers, storage, networking gear, and other peripherals to ensure they benefit from uninterrupted power during an outage or disturbance. Keep cable lengths short to reduce impedance and maximize efficiency.
• Install and configure the Cybersecure Network Card, then connect the UPS to your network management system. Use the recommended software (e.g., Eaton Power Management) to monitor real-time runtime, receive alerts, and enable graceful shutdown procedures for protected devices during extended outages.
• Optionally, plan for Extended Run with EBMs. If extended runtime is required for longer maintenance cycles or data protection windows, install the external battery modules according to Eaton’s installation guidelines and update the runtime profiles in the management software.
• Power on the unit and run an initial startup test. Verify that the UPS channels deliver clean, regulated output to the connected equipment, and ensure that all alarms, notifications, and management connections function as expected.

Frequently asked questions

• What does 8000VA/7200W mean for my equipment? An 8000 VA rating reflects the apparent power capacity of the UPS, while 7200 W indicates the real power available to support connected devices. This combination provides ample headroom for contemporary servers, storage arrays, and network devices, ensuring reliable performance during power anomalies.
• Why choose an online double-conversion UPS with hardwired input/output? Online double-conversion delivers pristine, regulation-grade power by continuously processing power through the inverter, isolating loads from input disturbances. Hardwired input/output offers higher reliability, serviceability, and safety for critical installations, while reducing the risk of outlet-related failures in busy data centers.
• Is Extended Run important for edge deployments? Yes. Extended Run capabilities with external battery modules allow the system to stay online during longer outages or maintenance windows, which is particularly important for edge environments where network connectivity and data integrity must be preserved even in challenging power conditions.
• What management features come with the Cybersecure Network Card? The Cybersecure Network Card provides secure remote monitoring, alerting, and control over the UPS. Administrators can integrate with enterprise management frameworks, schedule graceful shutdowns, and enforce security policies to reduce the risk of unauthorized access or tampering with power protection infrastructure.
