Did you know?
2U Rack or Tower UPS units feature Advanced Battery Management (ABM) technology that uses a unique, three-stage charging technique that significantly extends battery service life and optimizes recharge time compared to traditional charging methods. 2U Rack or Tower UPS units can enhance system availability with individual receptacle groups or load segments that can be programmed and controlled, which allows mission-critical devices to be prioritized during shutdown to preserve battery run time if there is a prolonged power outage. 2U Rack or Tower UPS units come standard with UPS Power Manager software that integrates seamlessly with the major virtualization platforms, which enables you to view and manage your entire power system from your current dashboard. It also triggers live migration during power outages and avoids data loss by gracefully shutting down virtual machines and hosts in a cluster if there is an extended power outage.

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 other power quality problems.
• Selecting the right UPS can help protect against these potentially costly incidents.
• The RT1.5kVA, RT2.2kVA and RT3kVA 2U Rack or Tower UPS units are most effective against power failures, power sags, power surges, under-voltage, and over-voltage.
• The RT1.5kVA, RT2.2kVA and RT3kVA 2U Rack or Tower UPS models offer the following features:
• High-efficiency protection for more real power (Watts) in a compact tower or 2U rack design, which lowers power and cooling consumption

1. Support for SNMPv1 required at target device
2. Requires UPM v1.65.221 or higher

UPM brings managing various power and environmental devices under control through a single, web-based interface. The UPM software solution ensures system uptime and data integrity by allowing you to monitor, manage, and control the devices on your network remotely.
The UPM user interface is shown in the following figure.

UPM User Interface

The UPM software offers the following features:

• Monitors and manages multiple power and environmental devices from a web browser or your virtual machine management dashboard
• Seamlessly integrates into popular virtualization infrastructures, including VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix XenServer, and Linux KVM
• Triggers live migration for virtual machines during power outages
• By using a user-definable tree structure, enables grouping, access, and management of multiple devices across multiple locations
• Monitors power consumption, which helps track ways to improve energy efficiency
• Uses auto discovery to provide fast installation by automatically detecting devices on the network
• Mass-upgrades firmware, which reduces network management card setup and maintenance time

UPS Power Protector
The UPP software is free to download and use. Download it from the following links (v1.52.007):

• Windows: https://datacentersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/DS119231
• Linux: https://datacentersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/DS119230

UPP software facilitates automatic, graceful shutdown of computers, servers, and network devices that are powered by a UPS, which saves all work-in- progress and ensures data integrity. UPP’s user interface provides detailed information about connected servers and UPS units through USB and serial or network communication. The UPP user interface is shown in the following figure.

UPP User Interface

The UPP software offers the following features:

• Helps avoid data loss by gracefully shutting down computers and virtual machines or servers that are powered by a UPS during an extended power outage
• Keeps servers running smoothly by automatically identifying hang-ups and rebooting the machine by using a watchdog capability
• Provides redundancy capability for dual-cord servers
• An easy-to-use web browser interface
• Communicates with the protected device directly (via USB or serial) or through the network (via NMC)

Supported servers
The 2U Rack or Tower UPS offerings are compatible with all ThinkSystem, System x and ThinkServer systems and other devices that require AC power.

To determine the best fit UPS for a particular configuration, the following needs to be considered:

• Total power load of the hardware that will be connected to the UPS
• Number and type of outlets required
• UPS outlet and group limitations for connecting the hardware to the UPS

To determine chassis, node and server overall power capacities, use the Power Configurator tool. The tool can be downloaded from http://support.lenovo.com/documents/LNVO-PWRCONF To determine the power draw of other devices such as storage and switching that will be attached to the UPS, refer to the products user manual for the maximum power draw.
For additional technical information on the UPS line cords, outlets and grouping refer to the UPS Technical Reference, https://support.lenovo.com/docs/UM104477

Supported rack cabinets
The 2U Rack or Tower UPS units can be installed in the compatible rack cabinets as listed in Table 8.
