Prepare your critical IT infrastructure for the realities of modern data centers and distributed deployments with the Eaton Tripp Lite SmartPro 3000VA UPS. This 3kVA/3kW 120V line-interactive sine-wave UPS is engineered to protect servers, networking gear, storage devices, and telecom equipment from power interruptions, voltage sags, surges, and disruptive line noise. Its robust design blends power reliability with flexible deployment options, including rack-mount and tower configurations, so you can optimize space in a data closet, server room, or office environment. The SmartPro 3000VA is purpose-built for distributed IT, telecom, and enterprise deployments that demand dependable uptime, cleaner power, and proactive management of power events.

• Reliable protection for critical equipment: This UPS uses a line-interactive topology with automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to shield your devices from blackouts, brownouts, surges, and noisy lines. Clean, conditioned sine-wave power is delivered to sensitive servers, switches, storage arrays, VoIP gear, and virtualization hardware, preserving data integrity and reducing the risk of unexpected outages.
• Seven outlets with comprehensive battery backups: Seven outlets provide ample room for essential devices, all backed by battery protection to keep key systems running during a power event. The UPS also guards connected equipment from surges and line disturbances, helping to maintain uptime during brief interruptions and offering a safe, orderly shutdown when power is lost for longer periods.
• Integrated network management and communications: The SmartPro 3000VA comes with an included network management card, enabling remote monitoring, management, and shutdown across your IT environment. In addition, USB and DB9 (RS-232) ports give you flexible, direct access for local or remote administration and integration with existing management workflows.
• Flexible form factor for versatile deployments: With a 2U rack/tower design, this UPS adapts to data centers, server rooms, or office spaces. Mount it in a standard 19-inch rack or place it on a stable surface, depending on your space and layout requirements. The compact footprint combines high capacity with practical placement options, streamlining installation in diverse environments.
• User-friendly monitoring and proactive protection: An onboard LCD panel provides real-time status updates, including input/output voltage, load level, battery capacity, and estimated runtime. This accessibility makes it easier to plan maintenance, perform self-tests, and ensure the UPS remains aligned with your service-level objectives. The system also supports automatic shutdown and safe reboot sequences to protect your data during power events.

how to install Eaton Tripp Lite SmartPro 3000VA UPS

• Plan and prepare the installation space: Choose a clean, dry location with adequate ventilation and clearance for the LCD panel, cabling, and any cooling airflow. Decide between rack-mount installation in a 19-inch rack or a stable floor-standing setup if you prefer a tower configuration.
• Mount or place the UPS: If rack-mounting, secure the unit in the 2U space using the appropriate rails and hardware. If using a tower setup, place the UPS on a flat, vibration-free surface with access to power outlets and network/management connections. Ensure the unit is level and stable to prevent vibration or accidental tipping.
• Connect critical devices: Plug essential servers, storage devices, networking gear, and critical telecom equipment into the UPS outlets. Reserve nonessential equipment for surge-only protection if your UPS supports it, to maximize runtime for the most important equipment during an outage.
• Attach management interfaces: Connect the USB and DB9 serial ports to your management workstation or server for local control. Install the included network management card according to the quick-start guide to enable remote monitoring and centralized power management for your environment.
• Connect to power and configure runtime expectations: Plug the UPS into a dedicated, properly rated 120 V wall outlet. Do not overload the circuit. Turn on the unit, allow the batteries to charge, and perform the initial self-test recommended by the manual. Use the LCD panel to verify inputs, load, and battery status, and set notifications for power events if your management software supports it.
• Test the shutdown sequence and alerts: Simulate a brief outage to confirm the orderly shutdown of protected devices and generation of wake-up or restart sequences when power returns. Review runtime estimates and adjust load placement if necessary to optimize uptime for critical systems.

Frequently asked questions

What devices should I connect to the SmartPro 3000VA UPS?

Connect critical servers, core switches, storage devices, and telecom equipment that require uninterrupted power to the UPS outlets with battery backup. Nonessential devices can be placed on surge-protected outlets if the unit provides them, or disconnected during a power event to maximize runtime for mission-critical gear.

Does the SmartPro 3000VA include a network management card?

Yes. The UPS ships with a built-in network management card, enabling remote monitoring, centralized control, and integration with enterprise monitoring systems. USB and DB9 serial (RS-232) connections are also available for local management and scripting workflows.

How long will the battery last during an outage?

Runtime depends on the load and the battery’s condition. Heavier loads consume power more quickly, while lighter loads extend runtime. The LCD panel provides runtime estimates based on current load and battery status, allowing you to plan shutdowns or load balancing accordingly.

Can this unit be rack-mounted and used in a tower configuration?

Yes. The SmartPro 3000VA is designed for flexible deployment and supports 2U rack-mount installation as well as tower configurations, making it suitable for data centers, server rooms, or office environments with limited space.

What maintenance is required for optimal performance?

Regular self-tests, monitoring through the network management card, and battery health checks are recommended. Keep the unit in a well-ventilated area, clean the exterior periodically to avoid dust buildup, and replace the battery when the LCD or management software indicates degraded runtime or capacity.
