Eaton Tripp Lite SmartPro 3000VA 3000W 120V Line-Interactive Sine Wave UPS

Experience enterprise-grade power protection for critical IT infrastructure with the Eaton Tripp Lite SmartPro Series 3000VA UPS. Designed to safeguard servers, networking gear, and telecom equipment, this 3kVA/3kW line-interactive sine wave UPS delivers reliable battery backup, voltage regulation, and surge suppression for distributed IT deployments. With 120V output, seven outlets, an LCD interface, USB and DB9 connectivity, and an integrated network management card, the SmartPro 3000VA is equally at home in data centers, server rooms, and remote office environments. Its 2U rack/tower form factor provides flexible installation options, allowing seamless integration into existing racks or standalone workspace setups. Whether you’re protecting a single rack of gear or a small cluster of servers, this unit ensures continuity during outages and protects sensitive equipment from power irregularities that can cause data loss or hardware damage.

• Reliable 3kVA / 3kW power capacity with unity power factor ensures the most usable wattage at 120V for critical devices, enabling you to maximize runtime and protect essential equipment during power events without oversizing your protection. The sine-wave output keeps sensitive electronics, including servers and virtualization hosts, operating smoothly under all load conditions, minimizing reboot times and data loss risk during transitions.
• Seven outlets provide versatile, centralized protection for essential devices—connect critical servers, switches, storage arrays, and network gear while keeping non-critical peripherals separate. The layout supports both rack-mounted and tower deployments, simplifying installations in mixed environments and ensuring easy expansion as your IT footprint grows.
• Network management card included for proactive, remote monitoring and control. This feature lets IT staff receive real-time status updates, perform graceful software-based shutdowns, and monitor runtime, voltage, load, and battery health from a central console. It integrates with industry-standard management software to streamline maintenance and improve incident response times.
• Intuitive LCD display paired with USB and DB9 interfaces offers quick, on-site visibility into key UPS metrics and event history. The LCD makes it easy to review input/output voltage, remaining runtime, load level, battery status, and recent outages at a glance, while software backups and safe shutdown commands can be initiated with a few keystrokes or via the connected computer.
• Flexible 2U rack/tower design provides installation versatility to fit your data center, lab, or office. This form factor supports full-depth rack mounting for organized, professional cabling and airflow, or converts to an upright tower for environments where rack space is limited. The rugged construction is built to endure everyday IT rack utilization and frequent power events.

How to Install Eaton Tripp Lite SmartPro 3000VA

Follow these steps to install and configure the SmartPro 3000VA for optimal protection and performance. Begin by identifying a clean, stable surface or rack space with adequate ventilation to prevent overheating during operation. Ensure that the UPS is powered off and unplugged during the physical installation.

• Position the unit in a rack or on a stable surface. Use the included mounting hardware or a compatible rack kit for secure installation. Ensure there is sufficient airflow around the UPS to prevent heat buildup.
• Connect the UPS to a proper AC outlet using the supplied power cord. Do not overload the outlets beyond the rated capacity, and avoid daisy-chaining to other power strips to preserve protection integrity.
• Attach critical devices to the seven protected outlets. Prioritize essential servers, storage, switches, and network gear on battery-backed outlets to maintain operation during outages and to enable safe graceful shutdowns if needed.
• Install the network management card if not pre-installed, and connect it to your network using standard Ethernet cabling. Configure IP address, gateway, and management credentials according to your IT policy. Use the UPS software or web interface to monitor status and set notification preferences.
• Connect a computer to the USB or DB9 interface to enable local monitoring and control. Install the included or downloaded management software on the connected system to enable automatic shutdown procedures, event logging, and remote management capabilities.
• Power on the UPS and perform a brief runtime test. Allow the UPS to stabilize for a few minutes, verify LCD readings, and simulate a power event to confirm battery backup operations and safe shutdown sequencing for protected devices.
