Eaton SM1000RM2UTAA – TAA 1kVA Line-Interactive Rack UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton SM1000RM2UTAA is a TAA-compliant 1kVA line-interactive UPS built for network closets, server rooms, and commercial AV racks that require government-grade sourcing documentation. Configured as a 2U rack/tower unit, it delivers pure sine wave output and automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to protect switches, servers, and AV control processors from brownouts, sags, and surges without switching to battery. It is a strong fit for data center edge racks, network closets, and government facilities that must procure TAA-compliant power protection. Integrators specifying rack-mount UPS systems for commercial AV and IT deployments will find the SM1000RM2UTAA sized correctly for mid-size equipment racks.

Product Description

The SM1000RM2UTAA provides 1000VA / 800W of line-interactive UPS protection in a 2U rack/tower chassis, making it a practical fit for AV racks, telecom cabinets, and IT closets where vertical space is limited. Its AVR circuitry corrects undervoltages and overvoltages in the 83V-147V range instantly, without draining the battery, which extends battery life in facilities with unstable utility power. The pure sine wave output is compatible with active PFC power supplies commonly found in servers, network switches, and AV processors, avoiding the compatibility issues that simulated sine wave UPS units can cause with sensitive electronics. Six NEMA 5-15R outlets are provided, with four independently switchable through an optional network management card, allowing remote power cycling of downstream network or AV equipment during a system integration or maintenance window. A front-panel LCD reports load level, battery status, and input/output voltage at a glance, which helps facilities staff verify UPS health during routine rack audits. USB and RS-232 ports support automatic, unattended shutdown of connected servers during extended outages, and an EPO port allows integration with building emergency power-off systems. Because it ships TAA-compliant, the SM1000RM2UTAA is commonly specified for government space, education, and other installations bound by Buy American / TAA procurement requirements. The 2U rack/tower design mounts in a standard 19-inch rack or operates as a freestanding tower unit, giving integrators flexibility when equipment room layouts change late in a project. This UPS is best suited as edge protection for individual racks rather than whole-room backup, so it should be sized to the specific switches, servers, or AV processors on that circuit.

Key Features

• Line-Interactive AVR — Corrects brownouts and overvoltages from 83V to 147V without switching to battery, extending battery service life in commercial deployments.
• Pure Sine Wave Output — Matches utility power waveform for reliable operation with active PFC power supplies in servers and network switches.
• 2U Rack/Tower Form Factor — Mounts in a standard 19-inch rack or runs as a tower unit, fitting network closets and mixed-use equipment rooms.
• Six NEMA 5-15R Outlets — Four outlets are independently switchable via an optional network card for remote power cycling of connected equipment.
• TAA Compliance — Meets Trade Agreements Act sourcing requirements for government and public-sector procurement.
• USB and RS-232 Connectivity — Enables automatic graceful shutdown of connected servers during extended power events.
• Emergency Power Off (EPO) Port — Integrates with building-wide emergency shutdown systems in data centers and commercial facilities.
• Front-Panel LCD Display — Shows load level, battery status, and voltage for quick visual verification during maintenance.
• Optional Network Management Card — Adds remote monitoring and outlet control for centralized IT/AV management platforms.

Typical Applications

• Network closet power protection for switches, routers, and PoE equipment

• Broadcast studio equipment racks requiring clean sine wave power

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the SM1000RM2UTAA compatible with active PFC server power supplies? Yes. Its pure sine wave output matches utility waveform characteristics, so it is compatible with active PFC power supplies used in modern servers, switches, and AV processors.
• Can this UPS mount in a standard 19-inch rack, or does it require a tower configuration? Both. The 2U chassis includes rack-mount hardware and can also be used as a freestanding tower unit, so it fits either a rack-mount network closet or an open equipment room.
• Does this unit support remote outlet control for integration with a building management or network monitoring system? Remote outlet switching and network monitoring require an optional network management card, sold separately, which adds SNMP-based control over the four switchable outlets.
• Is the SM1000RM2UTAA approved for government or federal procurement? Yes. It is TAA compliant, meeting Trade Agreements Act sourcing requirements commonly required for government space and public-sector purchasing.
• What is covered under the warranty? Eaton backs the SM1000RM2UTAA with a 2-year limited warranty and $250,000 Ultimate Lifetime Insurance covering connected equipment against damage from a UPS failure.
• How long will this UPS run connected equipment during an outage? Runtime is approximately 5.3 minutes at full 800W load and about 15 minutes at half load, sufficient for a graceful shutdown of network or server equipment rather than extended standalone operation.
• Can this UPS trigger an automatic shutdown of a connected server? Yes. The built-in USB and RS-232 ports support automatic, unattended shutdown software so connected servers close down safely before the battery depletes.
