Liebert ITA2 40kVA Rack/tower UPS

Power reliability is non-negotiable in today’s data centers and IT rooms. The Liebert ITA2 40kVA Rack/Tower UPS delivers remarkable efficiency and flexibility with true online double conversion technology, a unity power factor, and a compact footprint that fits both rack and tower installations. This UPS protects critical computing, storage, and network infrastructure from power disturbances, ensuring business continuity, data integrity, and operational uptime. Whether you are equipping a tight server closet or a larger data center rack, the ITA2 adapts to your environment while delivering scalable protection that grows with your IT footprint.

• True online double conversion for pristine power — The Liebert ITA2 continuously regenerates clean, distortion-free output with seamless transfer, shielding your IT equipment from outages, sags, surges, and transients. This reliable topology is essential for protecting servers, storage arrays, virtualization hosts, and network gear that demand stable voltage and uninterrupted operation.
• Unity power factor for maximum real power — With a unity power factor, the ITA2 delivers the full rated real power (kW) from every kilovolt-ampere of capacity. This means you can support higher-density loads without needing oversized margins, translating to a smaller footprint for the same runtime and performance.
• Flexible rack-tower design — The ITA2 combines a compact, versatile footprint with easy conversion between rack and tower configurations. This adaptability simplifies deployment in diverse environments—from dense data center rows to IT closets—without sacrificing access for maintenance or serviceability.
• High efficiency and improved total cost of ownership — Optimized design and intelligent cooling reduce energy consumption and heat generation, lowering operating costs. When paired with energy-saving modes and efficient battery management, the ITA2 minimizes electricity usage while preserving critical uptime, delivering a compelling total cost of ownership advantage.
• Comprehensive monitoring and remote management — Built-in management interfaces and compatibility with Liebert management software enable proactive monitoring, predictive maintenance, and remote control. Real-time status, event logs, and automatic notifications empower IT staff to respond quickly to power events and keep workloads protected.

How to install Liebert ITA2 40kVA Rack/tower UPS

• Plan the placement of the UPS in a location with adequate ventilation and clearance for service access. If using rack mounting, ensure the rack is level and secured; if using tower orientation, provide a stable, vibration-free surface.

• Verify electrical groundwork and compatibility with your facility’s electrical system. Identify input and output connections, grounding provisions, and available battery options. Confirm that the installation complies with local electrical codes and the manufacturer’s guidelines.

• Mount the unit in the chosen configuration (rack or tower) and secure all mounting hardware. Route cables to avoid kinks or strain, labeling input, output, and communication lines for easier maintenance and future upgrades.

• Connect the UPS input to the appropriate mains supply and connect critical IT loads to the UPS output. Ensure that the load does not exceed the unit’s rated capacity and that surge protection devices are in place for downstream equipment.

• Install and configure the management interface or optional network management card. Connect to your monitoring system or software, enable alerts, and set up shutdown and alert policies for graceful runtime management during disturbances.

• Power up the system and perform an initial battery discharge test or self-test as recommended by the manufacturer. Verify online status indicators, load balance, and communication with connected devices. Schedule regular maintenance checks and battery health tests to preserve performance over time.

• Document the installation details, including serial numbers, firmware versions, and configuration settings. Maintain an up-to-date maintenance log and ensure personnel have access to the latest manuals and safety guidelines.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What does 40 kVA with unity power factor mean for my IT loads?
  A: It means the UPS can deliver up to 40 kW of real power to your equipment, maximizing usable capacity without needing extra margin for kilovolt-amps. This is especially beneficial for high-density servers and storage systems where space and efficiency matter.

• Q: Is the Liebert ITA2 suitable for rack and tower installations?
  A: Yes. The ITA2 is designed as a flexible rack-tower UPS, allowing you to deploy it in a traditional data center rack or convert it to a tower configuration to fit smaller rooms or restricted spaces.

• Q: How can I extend runtime?
  A: Runtime can be extended by connecting external battery cabinets or modules. Runtime is also influenced by the load. For mission-critical applications, design the configuration with additional battery capacity to meet your uptime goals.

• Q: What kind of monitoring and management options are available?
  A: The ITA2 offers integrated management interfaces and compatibility with Liebert monitoring software and SNMP/network management cards. This enables remote monitoring, alerting, and graceful shutdowns to protect workloads during power events.

• Q: How do I maintain the UPS to ensure long-term reliability?
  A: Schedule regular battery health checks, perform self-tests as recommended, keep the unit well-ventilated, and apply firmware updates when available. Documenting maintenance events helps anticipate issues before they impact uptime.
