How to Install Eaton Tripp Lite SmartOnline 1000VA UPS

Installing the SmartOnline 1000VA UPS is straightforward and designed to fit into standard IT environments, whether you’re mounting it in a rack or placing it on a stable surface. Follow these guidelines to ensure a safe, efficient deployment that maximizes uptime and protection.

• Plan placement: Choose a well-ventilated area with adequate clearance for cooling and smoke ventilation. The unit can be mounted in a 2U rack space or operated in a tower position using the provided support equipment.
• Mounting: If rack-mounting, secure the UPS in a compatible 19-inch rack, ensuring the front is accessible for the LCD display and outlets. If using as a tower, place it on a sturdy surface with space around for airflow.
• Load distribution: Connect critical devices (servers, storage, and network appliances) to battery-backed outlets when possible, and connect non-critical devices to surge-protected outlets to optimize runtime during outages.
• Power and data connections: Plug the UPS into a 120 VAC power source. Connect USB and/or RS-232 cables to a management station or server. If you plan remote management, install the optional Network Card according to the product’s documentation.
• Software configuration: Install the UPS management software on a connected host, configure shutdown policies, alert thresholds, and runtime settings, and perform a self-test to confirm operation.
