Eaton Tripp Lite SmartPro 1950VA Line-Interactive Sine Wave UPS

The Eaton Tripp Lite SmartPro 1950VA UPS delivers reliable power protection for critical IT and telecom equipment. Designed for distributed IT environments, this 2U rack/tower UPS combines a pure sine-wave output, automatic voltage regulation, and advanced monitoring to safeguard servers, switches, storage, and network gear from outages, surges, and brownouts. With seven outlets, extended runtime options, an integrated network management card, a bright LCD interface, and versatile connectivity, it provides a comprehensive, enterprise-grade power solution that is easy to deploy and manage from a single dashboard. Whether you operate a small data center, a server closet, or a mixed IT environment, SmartPro is engineered to keep essential workloads online when the grid falters, maintaining data integrity and minimizing downtime.

• Pure sine-wave output for clean, stable power – Delivers high-quality power that is compatible with modern, active PFC-equipped servers and other sensitive equipment. This results in improved performance, reduced risk of equipment upset during voltage fluctuations, and smoother operation during short outages or switching events. The sine-wave output also helps protect connected power supplies and embedded electronics from harmonic distortion and ripple, ensuring consistent performance under load.
• Line-Interactive topology with AVR – Utilizes Automatic Voltage Regulation to correct low or high input voltages without drawing from the battery. This feature extends battery life, reduces unnecessary discharge cycles, and provides a more energy-efficient approach to protecting critical devices during utility voltage sags or surges. In practice, it means less maintenance and longer intervals between battery replacements while preserving uptime for essential systems.
• Seven outlets with battery backup and surge protection – A comprehensive outlet slate offers battery-backed power for key devices such as servers, switches, NAS devices, and network appliances, with built-in surge protection to guard against voltage spikes. This arrangement simplifies cabling, helps prevent overloads on the UPS, and enables orderly shutdowns or graceful failover when outages occur, preserving service continuity for critical workloads.
• Extended run capabilities in a flexible 2U form factor – The SmartPro is designed to fit dense IT environments, offering rack-mount compatibility or a tower deployment to match your workspace. Its robust 1950 VA / 1950 W rating empowers you to sustain essential workloads through outages, perform maintenance without abrupt interruptions, and maintain service levels for network gear, virtualization hosts, and storage systems during grid instability.
• Comprehensive management and connectivity – A bright LCD panel provides at-a-glance status, while USB and DB9 serial interfaces, along with an included network management card, enable local and remote monitoring, alerts, and controlled shutdowns. ENERGY STAR V2.0 certification reflects efficient operation, and the integrated management options make it easier to centralize power policy across multiple devices and sites from a single interface.

How to install Eaton Tripp Lite SmartPro 1950VA UPS

• Plan your layout – Select a well-ventilated, easily accessible location for the 2U unit. Ensure there is clear front-panel access for the LCD display and for cable routing. Keep the UPS away from heat sources and moisture to maximize battery life and reliability.
• Choose the mounting configuration – Decide whether to mount the UPS in a 2U rack chassis or to deploy it as a tower. Use appropriate rails or stand-off hardware and secure the unit to prevent movement during operation or transport.
• Connect power and devices – Plug the UPS into a dedicated 120V outlet on a protected circuit. Plug critical devices into the battery-backed outlets and avoid overloading the UPS beyond its rated capacity. Leave nonessential equipment on non-battery outlets if needed to balance load.
• Enable network management – Install the included network management card if not pre-installed and connect the UPS to your network. This enables remote monitoring, alerting, and centralized control of power policies across devices and sites.
• Configure software and test – Install the bundled or compatible power management software on servers and workstations. Define automatic shutdown schedules, alert thresholds, and graceful shutdown procedures. Perform a controlled outage test to verify that the UPS detects power loss and executes a clean shutdown for protected equipment.

Frequently asked questions

• What devices can I protect with the SmartPro 1950VA UPS? – It protects critical IT assets such as servers, network switches, routers, storage devices, and other sensitive electronics by providing battery-backed power and surge protection for essential workloads.
• Can this unit be installed in a rack, or is it only a tower? – The SmartPro is designed for flexible deployment and can be rack-mounted in a 2U chassis or used as a standalone tower to suit your space and data-center footprint.
• Does it come with remote management capabilities? – Yes. The package includes a network management card along with USB and DB9 interfaces to enable remote monitoring, alerting, and controlled shutdowns for connected devices.
• Is the UPS energy-efficient? – Yes, it carries ENERGY STAR V2.0 certification, reflecting efficiency in operation and reduced energy waste during normal runtimes and standby states.
• How does runtime differ with load? – Runtime scales with the load on the UPS. Heavier loads consume more battery energy and shorten runtime, while lighter loads extend the period the UPS can sustain critical devices under outage conditions.
