How to install Eaton 9PX G2 5000VA UPS

• Plan installation location in a cool, well-ventilated area with adequate clearance for airflow and access to cables. Verify the rack or floor mounting surface and ensure the weight can be supported when fully loaded with batteries and connected gear.
• Decide whether to install the unit in a 19-inch rack or in a tower configuration. The 6U form factor is designed for both, so prepare mounting rails or a stable base accordingly and secure the UPS to prevent movement during operation or maintenance.
• Shut down and unplug all connected equipment prior to installation. Verify that power sources match the UPS input configuration (L6-30P or appropriate hardwired connection) and have the proper cables ready for safe hookup.
• Mount the unit and connect the input power to the L6-30P receptacle or to the dedicated hardwired input as required by site power. Ensure circuit protection (breaker) is appropriate for the UPS input rating and that wiring follows local electrical codes.
• Connect critical loads to the receptacles on the UPS. Group mission-critical devices on the main outlets and reserve auxiliary outlets for non-essential equipment or for maintenance tasks. Label each circuit for quick identification during an outage.
• Install the Cybersecure Network Card in the designated card slot and connect the UPS to your network. Configure network settings and access credentials using Eaton’s software suite. Enable secure remote monitoring, alerts, and firmware updates as part of ongoing IT resilience.
• Power on the UPS and allow it to reach a stable operating state. Run a self-test from the management interface to verify battery health, hardware status, and communication with connected devices.
• Configure notifications, shutdown policies, and integration with your virtualization or hypervisor environment. Determine whether you will use local management, remote monitoring, or a combination of both for efficient operations and rapid response to power events.
• Plan for runtime requirements by evaluating your load and considering optional battery modules for Extended Run. If added, integrate the battery modules according to the manufacturer’s instructions and test to confirm expected runtimes align with your service level targets.
• Document the installation and create a maintenance schedule. Include battery replacement timelines, firmware update windows, and a disaster recovery plan to ensure ongoing protection for your critical workloads.
