Eaton 9SX 3000VA 2700W 208V Online Double-Conversion UPS - 8 C13, 1 C19 Outlets, Cybersecure Network Card Option, Extended Run, Tower

The Eaton 9SX 3000VA online double-conversion UPS is a cornerstone for protecting your most important IT gear from power disturbances, outages, and data loss. This high-capacity, 208V-ready system delivers pristine, regulated power to servers, storage arrays, networking equipment, and virtualization hosts, ensuring smooth operation through brownouts, surges, or complete outages. With true online double-conversion technology, it continuously converts incoming AC power to DC and back to a clean, perfectly regulated sine wave, so your equipment sees uninterrupted, battery-backed power even when the utility grid fluctuates. The 9SX Tower model is designed for compact data rooms and offices, offering flexible installation and scalability. Eight IEC C13 outlets plus one C19 outlet accommodate a wide range of devices, while the optional Cybersecure Network Card enables secure remote management, monitoring, and integration with existing IT service management workflows. When uptime is mission-critical, Extended Run support lets you add battery modules to extend runtime during maintenance windows or longer outages, providing you with the time you need to safeguard data and complete orderly shutdowns. This UPS is engineered to deliver reliable performance, reduce downtime, and protect your organization’s reputation and bottom line.

• High-capacity protection: 3000 VA / 2700 W output supports demanding servers, virtualization hosts, and storage devices with ample headroom for growth. This unit maintains stable performance under peak loads and provides a comfortable margin for expansion, reducing the need for frequent upgrades as your IT footprint grows. Extended Run capability allows you to add battery modules for longer outages, giving you more time to respond and recover.
• Always-on power quality: true online double-conversion technology delivers a clean, regulated sine wave even under heavy load or erratic input conditions. The UPS continuously powers attached equipment from its own battery while constantly correcting minor voltage sags and spikes, minimizing reboot events and protecting sensitive data.
• 208V readiness: designed for facilities operating at 208V systems, aligning with modern data centers and office IT spaces. This configuration supports compatible server racks, switches, and storage devices without the need for mismatched adapters or step-down transformers, helping simplify deployment.
• Versatile outlet configuration: 8 IEC C13 outlets plus 1 IEC C19 outlet provide flexible distribution for servers, network gear, SANs, and peripherals. Load can be distributed across outlets to balance performance, and outlets are positioned to accommodate common cabling layouts in office and data-center environments.
• Secure remote management: optional Cybersecure Network Card enables secure remote access, monitoring, alerting, and integration with Power Management software and existing network monitoring tools. IT teams gain visibility into runtime, events, and battery health, enabling proactive maintenance and faster incident response.

How to Install Eaton 9SX 3000VA 2700W 208V Online Double-Conversion UPS

• Choose a location: Position the UPS on a stable surface with adequate clearance for cooling and cable management. Keep it away from excessive dust, heat, or moisture, and ensure sufficient ventilation around the exhaust and vents.
• Unpack and inspect: Verify that all components are present, including outlets, cables, documentation, and any optional battery modules. Inspect for any visible shipping damage before installation.
• Connect to power: Plug the UPS into a dedicated 208V circuit that matches the unit’s input specification. Avoid daisy-chaining from power strips to ensure stable input voltage and proper protection.
• Attach IT equipment: Connect servers, storage devices, and networking gear to the 8 C13 outlets and the 1 C19 outlet. Distribute the load to prevent overloading any single outlet, and group critical devices on protected circuits when possible.
• Enable network management (optional): If using the Cybersecure Network Card, install it per the included instructions and connect to your management network. Configure security settings and access controls to align with your organization’s policies.
• Power on and configure: Turn on the UPS and use the onboard LCD or Eaton Power Management software to set operating parameters, voltage thresholds, notification alerts, and shutdown policies for your environment.
• Test the system: Simulate a power interruption to verify automatic transfer to battery, evaluate the stability of the output, and confirm that management software receives events and alerts.
• Plan for Extended Run: If you anticipate longer outages, connect optional battery modules for Extended Run, then recalculate runtime in the management software to reflect new capabilities.
