Eaton Tripp Lite SmartPro Series 120V 2.2kVA LiFePO4 Sine Wave UPS – 2U Rack-Mount, LCD, USB, DB9

The Eaton Tripp Lite SmartPro series delivers dependable, long-life power protection for mission-critical rack-mounted equipment. Designed for servers, networked storage, telecom hardware, and other sensitive IT gear, this 120V sine wave UPS combines a compact 2U footprint with robust LiFePO4 battery technology to extend service life and reduce maintenance costs. Whether you’re outfitting a data center rack, a server room, or an edge deployment, this UPS provides clean, regulated power, proactive monitoring, and flexible management to keep your critical systems online when utility power falters. With an intuitive LCD interface, USB and DB9 connectivity, and a reliable eight-outlet configuration, it’s engineered to simplify installation, minimize downtime, and optimize energy usage across demanding workloads.

• Power capacity and runtime flexibility: With a rating of 2.2 kVA / 1.92 kW, this UPS supports protection for multiple servers, storage devices, and network equipment in a single rack. It offers generous headroom for startup surges and peak load, helping to prevent unexpected shutdowns and allowing for graceful shutdowns during extended outages. The scalable design means you can balance performance and runtime to suit your specific environment, reducing the need for frequent battery replacements and lowering total cost of ownership over time.
• Line-interactive sine wave output for sensitive gear: The UPS delivers a fully regulated sine wave output even during input voltage sags or fluctuations, ensuring that servers, storage controllers, and networking equipment experience clean, stable power. This reduces the risk of surges, voltage dips, and data corruption, enabling reliable operation and safer shutdown procedures when power events occur.
• LiFePO4 battery technology for longevity and safety: Lithium Iron Phosphate cells provide a longer cycle life and improved thermal stability compared with traditional lead-acid chemistries. This results in lower maintenance intervals, longer overall service life, and safer operation in a rack environment. The LiFePO4 chemistry is well-suited for data-center hours, allowing for reliable performances across a wide temperature range and reducing the frequency of battery replacements.
• 2U rack-mount form factor with comprehensive management: The compact 2U design fits neatly into standard 19-inch racks, leaving space for airflow and easy access to the LCD panel. The unit includes a user-friendly LCD for real-time status updates and local configuration, plus a USB port and a DB9 serial connection for seamless integration with monitoring software, data-center infrastructure management (DCIM) solutions, and alert systems. This combination makes it straightforward to monitor load, battery health, alarms, and runtime without additional hardware.
• Versatile outlet configuration to protect essential equipment: The UPS is equipped with eight protected outlets, designed to accommodate critical devices such as servers, storage arrays, and network gear. The outlet configuration supports flexible deployment, grouping equipment by function to simplify power management and automate orderly shutdowns when needed. This arrangement ensures vital devices stay powered during short outages while allowing nonessential peripherals to be isolated as required to preserve runtime.

how to install Eaton Tripp Lite SmartPro 120V 2.2kVA UPS

• Plan your rack layout to maximize airflow; allow clear access to the LCD display and front-panel indicators. Confirm the 2U height fits within the available rack space and that there’s adequate clearance behind the unit for cabling.
• Mount the UPS securely in a standard 19-inch rack using appropriate rails or mounting hardware. Ensure the chassis is level and firmly fastened to prevent movement during operation or in the event of a minor seismic event.
• Connect critical devices (servers, storage, networking hardware) to the UPS outlets according to your protection strategy. Group devices by service or function to simplify management and ensure essential loads remain powered during a power event.
• Connect the UPS input to a dedicated 120V AC supply that has adequate circuit capacity for the anticipated load plus startup surges. Avoid sharing this circuit with nonessential equipment to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping.
• Power on the unit, verify the LCD display lights up, and configure basic settings (networking options via USB/DB9, alarm preferences, and shutdown policies). Run a self-test and observe battery health, load, and line conditions to confirm proper operation.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What makes this SmartPro UPS suitable for mission-critical equipment? A: The combination of a robust 2.2 kVA / 1.92 kW capacity, fully regulated sine wave output, LiFePO4 battery chemistry, and a compact 2U rack-mount form factor makes it ideal for protecting servers, storage, and telecom hardware where power quality and reliability are essential.
• Q: How does LiFePO4 affect maintenance and lifecycle? A: LiFePO4 batteries offer longer cycle life, improved thermal stability, and safer operation than traditional lead-acid chemistries. This translates to fewer battery replacements, lower maintenance costs, and consistent performance over a longer period, which is particularly valuable in data-center environments.
