Did you know?

T1kVA and T1.5kVA 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.

T1kVA and T1.5kVA 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.

T1kVA and T1.5kVA Tower UPS units come standard with UPS Power Manager (UPM) power management software that integrates seamlessly with the major virtual 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 effect 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, which includes brownouts and other power quality problems.

Selecting the right UPS can help protect against these potentially costly incidents.

The T1kVA and T1.5kVA Tower UPS units are most effective against five power problems: power failures, power sags, power surges, under-voltage, and over-voltage.

The T1kVA and T1.5kVA Tower UPS models offer the following features:

High-efficiency protection delivers more real power (watts) in a compact design, lowering 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

Load segments for individual control of receptacle groups to manage sequential shut downs and start ups and reserve battery run time for the most critical equipment

Optional NMC for enhanced UPS monitoring and control over-the-network through a standard web browser

Optional Environmental Monitoring Probe for thermal management requirements (temperature and humidity)

Allows dual channel communication through the USB or RS-232 port and an optional NMC at the same time to maximize communications flexibility

Remote flash upgradeable firmware for the UPS and NMC, which makes it an ideal solution for remote locations

Includes a Remote On/Off (ROO)/Remote Power Off (RPO) port to control power of the UPS unit through a wired remote switch

Management software

The T1kVA and T1.5kVA Tower UPS units come standard with UPS Power Manager (UPM) and UPS

Power Protector (UPP) software.

UPM brings managing many 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 remotely monitor, manage, and control the devices on your network.

The UPM user interface is shown in Figure 9.

T1kVA and T1.5kVA Tower Uninterruptible Power Supplies 14

Figure 9. UPM user interface

The UPM software includes the following features:

Monitors and manages multiple power and environmental devices from a web browser or your virtual machine management dashboard

Integrates seamlessly into popular virtualization infrastructures, such as VMware ESXi, Microsoft

Hyper-V, Citrix XenServer, and Linux KVM

Triggers live migration for virtual machines during power outages

Enables grouping, access, and management of multiple devices across multiple locations by using a user-definable tree structure

Monitors power consumption to help track ways to improve energy efficiency

Provides fast installation by using auto discovery, which automatically detects devices on the network

Mass-upgrades firmware, which reduces network management card setup and maintenance time

UPP software facilitates automatic, graceful shutdown of computers, servers, and network devices that are powered by a UPS. This capability saves all work-in-progress and ensuring 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 Figure 10.

T1kVA and T1.5kVA Tower Uninterruptible Power Supplies 15

Figure 10. UPP user interface

The UPP software offers the following features:

Helps avoid data loss by gracefully shutting down computers and virtual machines and servers that are powered by a UPS during an extended power outage

Provides watchdog capability that keeps servers running smoothly by automatically identifying hang-ups and rebooting the machine

Provides redundancy capability for dual-cord servers

Includes 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 T1kVA and T1.5kVA Tower UPS offerings are compatible with all System x and ThinkServer servers and other devices that require AC power.

The T1kVA and T1.5kVA Tower UPS units are intended for use with the following System x and
