Eaton SmartPro 5kVA UPS | 208/120V Line-Interactive Sine Wave, 6U Rack, Extended Run

Power continuity is critical for distributed IT, telecom, and enterprise deployments. The Eaton Tripp Lite SmartPro series 5kVA UPS delivers reliable battery backup and precise AC protection to keep servers, switches, storage, and networking equipment online when the power goes out. This 5kVA/4kW line-interactive unit provides clean, continuous sine-wave output, robust surge and noise suppression, and flexible expansion options to match evolving data-center needs. With a compact 6U form factor and options for network management, USB, serial connectivity, and EPO safety, it is designed to safeguard critical workloads with minimal downtime and maximum control.

• Powerful protection for critical loads: 5 kVA / 4 kW backup capacity ensures ample runtime for essential devices during outages, brownouts, and power surges. The UPS delivers a clean, pure sine-wave output to maintain performance and protect sensitive electronics.
• 208/120V line-interactive performance: Built for data-center and enterprise environments that require 208/120V supply and automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to correct minor fluctuations without depleting the battery.
• Extended Run capability: Designed for longer outages with Extended Run configurations, allowing you to add external battery packs to stretch runtime for critical systems and high-priority workloads.
• Rack-mountable reliability: 6U rack-mount chassis fits standard 19-inch racks for streamlined space management, cable organization, and easy integration into existing IT infrastructure.
• Flexible management and safety features: Includes USB and DB9 serial connections, with optional Network Card for remote monitoring and control. Built-in EPO (Emergency Power Off) support and TAA compliance offer operational flexibility and regulatory alignment.

How to install Eaton SmartPro 5kVA UPS

Installing the SmartPro 5kVA UPS is designed to be straightforward and disrupt minimal downtime in your data-center or office environment. Follow these practical steps to ensure a safe, reliable setup:

• Choose a stable, well-ventilated rack location with sufficient clearance for heat dissipation and easy access to rear connectors and the battery compartment.
• Mount the UPS in a 19-inch rack using compatible rails. Confirm its 6U height fits cleanly within your rack space and that there is room for cable routing and maintenance access.
• Turn off and disconnect all connected equipment from the outlets you intend to protect, then connect the UPS to a dedicated 208/120V supply circuit as required by your facility. Ensure the circuit can handle the UPS load and any extended runtime configuration you plan to deploy.
• Connect protected devices to the UPS output outlets. If you plan to use Extended Run, install external battery packs per the manufacturer’s guidelines and connect them to the UPS as specified.
• Establish management and monitoring: connect the USB or DB9 serial port to a management computer. If you plan remote monitoring, install the Network Card Option and configure the UPS management software or SNMP settings according to your IT policy.
• Enable EPO control if your facility requires it, and verify that all endpoints correctly report uptime, battery status, and load. Perform a self-test to confirm proper operation and load bearing, then document configuration for future maintenance.
• Configure notification thresholds, alarms, and shutdown procedures in your preferred management tool. Save and test the automatic shutdown sequences to ensure business-continuity workflows trigger correctly during extended outages.
