How to install Eaton 9PXM

• Plan the installation in a well-ventilated area with adequate airflow and clear access for service and cable routing.
• Decide between rack-mount or tower deployment; mount the 14U enclosure in a compatible rack or secure it as a stand-alone tower, ensuring the eight- or twelve-slot configuration aligns with your load and future expansion plans.
• Connect the hardwired input cables to the appropriate electrical feed per local codes and Eaton installation guidelines; ensure proper breaker sizing and grounding.
• Route and connect the hardwired output cables to the protected IT loads and distribution equipment, verifying correct polarity and label readability for maintenance and service.
• Install the Cybersecure Network Card, connect to your IT network, and configure network security settings according to your organization’s policy; enable remote monitoring via Eaton software or approved management platforms.
• Power on the UPS, perform initial configuration (input/output voltage range, sensitivity, and AVR settings), and verify that the unit reports normal operation and battery health status.
• Test critical loads by simulating a power event to confirm proper transfer to battery/inverter mode and seamless return to utility power when available.
• Document the installation with serial numbers, firmware versions, and configuration profiles to simplify future service and expansion.
