With a 120V input and a 2.2kVA / 1.92kW rating, this line-interactive sine wave UPS provides reliable protection for servers, switches, routers, storage devices, and telecom equipment. Housed in a compact 2U rack-mount form factor, it fits neatly into data centers, network closets, or production environments where space is at a premium. Featuring LCD status display, USB and DB9 serial connectivity, and options for network management, the SmartPro line is built to simplify power protection while maximizing uptime, efficiency, and operational resilience.

• Reliable protection for critical IT gear: This UPS delivers a clean, regulated sine wave output even when the mains grid fluctuates, helping to prevent data corruption, unexpected reboots, and equipment wear. With a 2.2kVA / 1.92kW capacity, you can support essential servers, network appliances, and telecommunications devices during short outages or brownouts, ensuring graceful shutdowns and preserving work-in-progress data. The line-interactive design uses automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to correct minor voltage sags and surges without drawing down the battery, maximizing availability and extending battery life for longer outages.
• Compact, rack-ready design with scalable runtime: The 2U chassis is purpose-built for data centers, network rooms, and IT closets where space is at a premium. Its 19-inch rack compatibility means quick installation alongside other equipment, with mounting rails and service access designed for minimal downtime. When longer run times are needed, you can extend capacity with compatible external battery packs or extended-run configurations, giving you flexible protection without replacing the core UPS. This scalability makes it a future-proof choice as your IT environment grows.
• Comprehensive management capabilities: An intuitive LCD display provides real-time insight into input/output voltages, load, battery capacity, and event history. Local management is supported by USB and DB9 serial interfaces for easy configuration, testing, and safe shutdowns. For larger environments, network management options enable remote monitoring, alerting, and policy-based control, so you can protect multiple devices across the network from a centralized console. The combination of onboard diagnostics and removable battery packs simplifies maintenance and reduces total cost of ownership.
• Flexible protection and connectivity for diverse environments: In addition to surge protection and voltage regulation, the SmartPro offers advanced protection features such as automatic voltage regulation, overload protection, and fault indication to minimize downtime. It supports a range of outlets for critical loads and can be integrated with network management systems via optional network cards. USB ensures broad compatibility with Windows, macOS, and Linux, while the DB9 port maintains compatibility with legacy monitoring and control software. The result is a versatile power protection solution that fits both modern virtualized environments and traditional IT infrastructures.
• Trusted warranty and service with future-proof updates: Tripp Lite by Eaton backs this SmartPro UPS with a robust service and warranty program designed to maximize uptime. Expect dependable battery health monitoring, self-test routines, and firmware update support, along with access to replacement batteries and extended service options. This commitment helps organizations maintain operational continuity, reduce risk during power events, and protect mission-critical workloads over the long term.

How to Install Tripp Lite by Eaton SmartPro 120V 2.2kVA UPS

• Assess placement and plan layout: Choose a cool, well-ventilated space with adequate clearance for airflow and easy access to front and rear panels. Ensure the rack has mounting rails compatible with the 2U chassis and that there is room to attach cables and battery modules if needed.
• Mount the UPS in the rack: Install the unit securely using the included rails or mounting hardware. Confirm that the device is firmly seated and that the front panel is accessible for display viewing and quick diagnostics.
• Connect input power: Attach a dedicated 120V AC circuit to the UPS input using the appropriate power cord and circuit protection. Do not exceed the unit’s input ratings, and ensure proper grounding per local electrical codes.
• Connect protected loads: Plug critical devices (servers, switches, storage arrays, and telecom gear) into the UPS outlets. Distribute critical loads across multiple outlets if possible to balance the load and improve reliability during an outage.
• Configure management interfaces: Connect USB or DB9 serial cables to a local computer to access the LCD panel and initialize basic settings. If you plan to use a network management card, install it according to the manual and configure SNMP/traps, device naming, and shutdown policies for centralized control.
• Calibrate and test: Power on the unit and run a built-in self-test to verify battery health and system readiness. Review the LCD readings and confirm alarm settings. Schedule regular battery tests and keep a log of results to anticipate replacements and avoid surprises during power events.
• Update firmware and protect data: If firmware updates are available, perform them following the manufacturer’s instructions. Install any power management software recommended by Eaton/Tripp Lite to enable graceful shutdowns, event logging, and automated response in virtualized environments.

Frequently asked questions

• What is the benefit of a line-interactive sine-wave UPS? A line-interactive UPS maintains stable, clean power by regulating voltage and providing true sine-wave output. This protects sensitive IT equipment from fluctuations, protects data integrity, and ensures reliable startup and shutdown during outages or brownouts, reducing the risk of data loss and hardware damage.
• Can runtime be extended with external batteries? Yes. The SmartPro series supports external battery packs or extended-run configurations to increase backup time under load. Runtime varies with the devices connected and the remaining battery capacity, so plan for higher outage scenarios by calculating total load and desired backup duration.
• Is this UPS suitable for virtualization environments? Definitely. With network management options and safe shutdown capabilities, it integrates with virtualization platforms such as VMware, Hyper-V, and others, enabling centralized power protection and graceful guest OS shutdowns during power events.
• What management options are available? The UPS includes USB and serial connectivity for local control, plus optional network management cards for remote monitoring, alerts, and centralized policy enforcement. This makes it easier to manage multiple UPS devices across a data center or campus network.
• What maintenance is involved? Regular battery health checks, firmware updates when available, and periodic self-tests are recommended. Replacing aging batteries before failure helps maintain uptime and reduces the risk of unexpected outages during peak workloads.
