Eaton 9PX - Battery enclosure (rack-mountable / external)

8kVA/8kW/208V Battery Backup for Distributed IT and Edge Networks

This 9PX G2 rack-mount online double-conversion lithium-ion UPS system provides reliable, low-maintenance battery backup and AC power protection against blackouts, brownouts, surges and line noise that can damage critical IT equipment or destroy data. The 9PX8KG2-L is ideal power management for IT managers, data center managers, electrical contractors, integrators, specifying engineers and other end users in business, edge computing, education, government, healthcare, retail and other networking applications.

Delivers Maximum Power Reliability with Best-in-Class Efficiency

With unity power factor (8000VA/8000W output), the 9PX8KG2-L maximizes power reliability and allows you to support servers, PoE (Power over Ethernet) switches and other networking equipment. The most efficient UPS system in its class, it complies with the latest ENERGY STAR standards to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to save you money on energy and cooling costs. Load segments with energy metering help you optimize energy use.

Lithium-Ion Batteries Designed for Long Life

Advanced lithium-ion battery technology offers a service life of eight to 10 years, which is at least three times longer than traditional lead-acid batteries while weighing 40 percent less. Not only does this reduce maintenance and replacement costs, but it also makes the UPS lighter, more efficient and ideal for deployments where reliability and longevity matter. These lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries allow you to work through most power failures and give you enough time to safely save files and shut down your system in case of a prolonged blackout.

Reliable, Expandable Battery Backup with Enhanced Management

Eaton's exclusive battery management system (BMS) monitors battery performance, charge cycles and active temperature to provide advance notice when batteries need replacement. You can also connect up to 10 extended battery modules (9PXEBM192RTG2-L, sold separately), which are smaller and lighter than VRLA modules, to add necessary runtime during prolonged power outages.

Included Gigabit Network Interface Offers 24/7 Remote Access and Cybersecurity

The NETWORK-M3 cybersecure network management card enables full remote configuration and management, including load shedding, reboots of connected equipment and safe shutdowns. UPS firmware can also be flashed remotely through the NETWORK-M3 without dropping the load, so you don't have to plan for downtime. The card meets both UL 2900-1 and IEC 62443-4-2 standards for cybersecurity, which were developed to address the vulnerability of connected devices to known malware/exploits and to protect businesses from these risks.

High-Visibility LCD Interface Keeps You Informed at a Glance

The high-contrast color LCD provides control settings and critical information to help diagnose any issues. A large color LED bar makes it easy to diagnose UPS status from a distance and quickly locate units that require attention. The interface rotates to accommodate both rack-mount and tower configurations, and it tilts up to 45 degrees for more comfortable viewing.

Ready for Virtualization, HCI and Generative AI

Brightlayer software provides simple yet powerful fleet management. You can remotely manage UPS systems in diverse IT environments across multiple distributed sites from one location, maintain uptime and improve operational efficiency. Brightlayer also enables intelligent coordination with virtualized, hyperconverged and generative AI infrastructure, including complex orchestrations during blackouts and other power events to extend runtime and preserve data.

Versatile Installation Options

You can mount the 9PX8KG2-L in just 4U of space in an EIA-standard 19-inch rack using the included 4-post rail kit, or you can adapt it for tower installation using the included stands. A cable gland is included for alternate hardwire input.
