how to install Eaton 9SX 1500VA 120V Online Double-Conversion UPS

• Choose a stable, well-ventilated location in a cool environment. Place the UPS in a dedicated space where air can circulate freely and not be blocked by furniture or boxes.
• Position the unit in its tower orientation with the front panel accessible for status indicators and control keys. Ensure the floor or surface can support the weight and keep the unit away from heat sources.
• Connect to a properly grounded 120 VAC outlet. Use a dedicated circuit if possible to minimize interference from other devices and circuits.
• Attach and connect your critical devices to the 6 NEMA 5-15R outlets. Prioritize servers, network gear, and workstations to ensure they receive clean, continuous power during disturbances.
• Install the optional Cybersecure Network Card (if you purchased it) according to the included instruction sheet. This enables secure remote monitoring and management through Eaton software or compatible IT management tools.
• Power on the UPS and perform a self-test. Install the Eaton Intelligent Power Management software if recommended by your IT team, and configure shutdown policies, alert thresholds, and event logs to align with your service-level requirements.
• If you plan to extend run time, add external battery packs as directed by the product manual. Ensure battery connections are secure and that the battery pack is properly supported to prevent strain on cables.
• Regularly verify the firmware, software, and connected device health. Schedule periodic self-tests to confirm battery health and overall readiness for real power events.
