Features

A UPS is a device that acts as a defensive barrier between electronic equipment and incoming power problems. It conditions, regulates, and filters out power disturbances to ensure a clean power source for IT equipment. A UPS also provides battery backup if there is a power failure. In today’s high availability server environments, unplanned power outages or line quality irregularities can have a considerable financial impact on all sized businesses. The typical utility power is 99.9% available but that means that there can be almost 9 hours of downtime a year, not to mention brownouts and otherpower quality problems. Selecting the right UPS can help protect against these potentially costly issues. The RT11kVA 6U Rack or Tower UPS-G2 units protect against the following power problems: power failures, power sags, power surges, under-voltage, electrical line noise, over-voltage, frequency variation, switching transients, and harmonic distortion.
The RT11kVA 6U Rack or Tower UPS-G2 models offer the following features:

• High-efficiency protection delivers more real power (Watts) in a compact tower or 6U rack design, which lowers power and cooling consumption
• Graphical Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) provides intuitive configuration, management, and monitoring capabilities in the following languages to reduce management complexity:
  • English
  • French
  • German
  • Spanish
  • Russian
  • Portuguese
  • Italian
• Hot-swappable batteries for maximum uptime, availability, and ease of maintenance
• Standard UPS Power Manager software provides effective local or remote power monitoring and
• management for servers and virtual machines, and allows for graceful remote system shutdown
• ABM technology significantly extends battery service life and optimizes recharge time
• Optional external battery modules (EBMs) provide extra run time to critical systems during a prolonged power outage
• Standard NMC provides enhanced UPS monitoring and control over the network through a standard web browser
• Environmental Monitoring Probe provides thermal management requirements (temperature and humidity)
• Standard Maintenance Bypass enhances availability by providing service continuity during UPS maintenance and upgrades
• Provides dual channel communication through the USB or RS-232 port and an NMC at the same time to maximize communications flexibility
• Flash upgrades firmware for both the UPS and the NMC, which makes it an ideal solution for remote locations
• Includes ROO and RPO connectors to control the power of the UPS unit through a wired remote switch
