how to install [product]
Installing the SmartOnline 6000VA UPS is straightforward for data centers, server rooms, and edge deployments. Start by choosing the installation mode—rack-mount or tower—and ensure adequate clearance for ventilation, cable access, and serviceability. Mount the UPS securely in a 19-inch rack or place it on a clean, level surface if rack mounting is not feasible. Keep the unit away from heat sources, dust, and moisture to preserve battery life and performance over time.
Next, connect the input power. Use the supplied L6-30P input cord to connect to a dedicated 208V circuit with sufficient amperage per your facility’s electrical code. Route enterprise-grade power cables to prevent accidental unplugging and to maintain clean power delivery to the UPS. After the input is secured, connect the loads to the appropriate L6-20R or L6-30R outlets, distributing critical devices across outlets to ensure balanced loading and redundancy where possible.
Install the network management card that is included with the unit. This card enables remote monitoring and control, allowing administrators to receive alerts, review runtime, monitor battery health, and perform graceful shutdowns of connected devices during outages. Connect the network card to your management network using an Ethernet connection, configure it according to your organization’s security policies, and register the UPS with your preferred monitoring platform or centralized management system.
Power up the UPS and perform a self-test and battery calibration as recommended by the manufacturer. Verify that the UPS correctly transitions to battery power when simulated input power is interrupted and confirm that the maintenance bypass path functions properly, ensuring that service can be performed without impacting critical loads. If you plan to implement Extended Run, coordinate with your energy resilience team to add compatible external battery packs and configure runtime settings to meet your service-level objectives.
Finally, document the configuration to facilitate future maintenance, firmware updates, and capacity planning. Record the input circuit, outlet mapping, network card IP addresses, and alarm thresholds. Establish routine monitoring schedules and define escalation paths for battery health, voltage anomalies, and unexpected UPS alarms. By following these steps, you’ll maximize uptime, simplify operations, and protect your IT infrastructure from power disturbances.
Frequently asked questions
What does 6000VA / 5400W mean for my equipment?
The 6000VA rating refers to the apparent power the UPS can deliver, while 5400W is the real power it can sustain. In practical terms, you should load the UPS to well below 5400W to maintain healthy runtime and headroom for startup surges. Heavier, concurrent loads require careful planning of battery capacity, anticipated runtime, and potential external battery packs to meet uptime requirements during outages.
Is the network management card included with this model?
Yes. The UPS ships with a built-in network management card that enables remote monitoring, alerting, and control of the unit over the network. This allows you to monitor battery health, run-time estimates, and perform orderly shutdowns of connected equipment from a centralized console.
What outlets and input connector does this UPS use?
The system uses an L6-30P input plug for 208V power and provides L6-20R and L6-30R outlets for connected equipment. This configuration is ideal for IT gear, edge devices, and other equipment designed to run on 208V high-availability circuits.
Can I mount this UPS in a rack or use it as a tower?
Yes. The unit is designed as a versatile 3U enclosure that can be rack-mounted or configured as a standalone tower, giving you flexible deployment options to fit your data center or edge environment.
What does Extended Run mean, and how do I enable it?
Extended Run refers to the ability to add external battery packs to increase the UPS runtime beyond what the internal batteries provide. This is useful for longer outages or to meet stringent recovery time objectives. To enable, install compatible external battery modules and configure them in the UPS management interface or through the network management card’s settings.
What maintenance benefits does the maintenance bypass provide?
The maintenance bypass path allows you to service the UPS or its batteries without interrupting power to the critical loads. This capability minimizes downtime during battery swaps, firmware updates, or hardware replacements, ensuring continuous protection for your IT infrastructure.
