Rack-mount UPS

Buying a rackmount UPS

To choose a suitable rack-mount UPS, consider the following factors:

Power Capacity

Assess the total power requirements of the devices you intend to protect and select a UPS with an adequate power capacity to support your equipment during a power outage.

Runtime

Determine the desired runtime, or how long the UPS will provide power to your devices during an outage. Ensure that the UPS you select can meet your runtime requirements.

Voltage Compatibility

Verify that the UPS is compatible with your system's voltage requirements, including input voltage, output voltage, and voltage frequency.

Form Factor

Choose a UPS that fits your server rack's available space and complies with its size and mounting standards, such as 1U, 2U, or 3U rack units.

Connectivity and Management

Consider UPS models that offer remote management capabilities, allowing you to monitor and control the UPS through software or network interfaces.

Before making a purchase, check compatibility with your specific equipment by referencing product literature and manufacturer specifications. This will ensure that the rack-mount UPS you select not only fits your needs but also provides reliable protection for your valuable assets.
