Eaton Tripp Lite SmartPro 3000VA Line-Interactive Sine Wave UPS — 208/230V, 10 Outlets, 2U Rack/Tower

The SmartPro 3000VA UPS delivers dependable power protection for distributed IT, telecom, and enterprise deployments. With a 3 kVA/3 kW rating and a line‑interactive, sine wave design, this unit keeps critical equipment online through blackouts, brownouts, surges, and line noise. Its unity power factor maximizes usable watts for your most demanding devices, ensuring you get the most from every watt of capacity. The UPS is designed for professional environments, offering flexible mounting in 2U racks or as a tower, and it comes with features that simplify monitoring, management, and maintenance for busy IT and facilities teams.

• Power and performance: 3 kVA / 3 kW output with a clean, precise sine wave to protect sensitive equipment and maintain stable operation during voltage sags and surges. Unity power factor means more usable wattage for essential devices.
• 208/230V input, 10 outlets: Ready to support distributed IT deployments at data centers, server rooms, and edge locations, with multiple outlets to shelter servers, switches, storage, and networking gear from power disturbances.
• Line‑interactive protection with AVR: Automatic voltage regulation (AVR) stabilizes incoming voltage to reduce battery wear and extend runtime, delivering reliable power without unnecessary battery drain during minor fluctuations.
• Flexible management options: LCD status display plus USB and DB9 serial connectivity for local shutdowns and monitoring. Optional network management card enables remote monitoring and control across your IT environment.
• 2U rack‑mount or tower form factor with extended run capability: The SmartPro design fits neatly into standard racks or sits on a desk or cart, and it supports extended runtime configurations through external battery options to keep critical workloads running longer when the power is out.

how to install Eaton Tripp Lite SmartPro 3000VA UPS

• Plan placement and mounting: Choose a cool, well‑ventilated location. If rack‑mounting, install the unit in a standard 19" rack on sturdy rails and ensure there is at least several inches of clearance for airflow. If using as a tower, place on a stable, level surface away from heat sources.

• Power connections: Connect the UPS to a properly grounded AC outlet that matches the 208/230V input rating specified for your region. Avoid daisy‑chaining through power strips; use dedicated outlets as required by your infrastructure.

• Load arrangement: Plug critical equipment (servers, networking gear, storage, and other essential devices) into the UPS outlets. Reserve nonessential peripherals for non‑critical outlets if needed to optimize runtime for critical gear during an outage.

• Management setup: Connect the USB cable to a management workstation for local shutdown control or install the USB/serial management software. If you purchased the optional Network Management Card, install it per the card’s instructions and connect to your network for remote monitoring and alerts.

• Initial power‑up and testing: Power on the UPS and perform a self‑test to verify battery status and protection circuitry. Use the LCD to verify input voltage, battery charge, load level, and runtime estimates. Conduct a simulated power event to confirm orderly shutdowns and startup sequences of protected devices.

Frequently asked questions
