Overview
Backing up servers, VoIP phones, storage and PoE switches, this 2U rack or tower UPS delivers pure sine wave output through managed outlets. Hot-swappable internal battery modules and an included network card with cybersecurity certification support remote monitoring.
Load banks let non-critical equipment shut off to stretch runtime for critical gear, and extra battery modules extend backup further. The base runtime figure is brief. Weight and depth make rack installation a two person job.
Who it's for
System administrators in small businesses, schools and clinics who need remote management and expandable runtime. Home users and anyone with a shallow rack should choose a smaller model.
Pros and cons
- High capacity with unity power factor
- Network card included
- Expandable with external batteries
- Hot-swappable battery modules
- Heavy at 74.5 lb
- Short base runtime
- External battery modules sold separately
- Enclosure material not listed
Performance notes
The line-interactive design corrects minor voltage swings before switching to battery, and ABM charging monitors battery health to warn when replacement is needed. Runtime depends on the connected load and can be extended with up to four external modules. The network card lets you reboot equipment and shut it down safely from afar.
