How to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series SmartPro 1950VA 1950W 120V Line-Interactive Sine Wave UPS

• Prepare the installation environment — place the UPS in a cool, dry location with adequate airflow. Avoid heat sources, humidity, and dusty areas to maximize battery life and performance.
• Choose your orientation — the 2U form factor allows rack mounting or stable vertical/tower placement. If rack-mounting, use the provided rails and hardware according to your rack’s specifications.
• Connect to power—plug the UPS into a properly grounded 120V outlet with sufficient circuit capacity. Do not daisy-chain through other power strips or outlets that aren’t intended for critical load protection.
• Attach protected devices — connect servers, networking gear, storage devices, and any equipment requiring protection to the UPS outlets. Reserve noncritical equipment for non-protected outlets if applicable.
• Configure management interfaces — connect the USB cable to a management workstation for local control, and use the DB9 port for legacy management. If you have the optional Network Management Card, install it according to the card’s instructions and configure network access for remote monitoring and shutdown.
• Power on and verify — switch on the UPS and verify LCD readings. Run a quick self-test from the LCD menu to confirm battery health and runtime estimates. Record your device load to ensure you remain within the UPS’s capacity during normal operation.
