Eaton SM3000RM2UTAA – TAA 3kVA 2U Rack UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton SM3000RM2UTAA is a 3kVA / 2.25kW line-interactive rack-mount UPS built for commercial AV/IT deployments where TAA-compliant power protection is a procurement requirement. Designed for network closets, data centers, and server rooms, this 2U UPS delivers pure sine wave output to protect servers, switches, and AV control equipment from utility power problems. It is a common fit for government space and commercial facilities that require a TAA-compliant UPS for GSA Schedule purchases. Integrators sourcing a rack-mount UPS for a network rack or equipment closet will find this unit sized for real-world commercial-grade loads.

Product Description

The SM3000RM2UTAA is part of Eaton's Tripp Lite series SmartPro line, engineered for facilities and IT teams that need dependable rack-mount UPS backup power without the footprint or cost of a double-conversion system. Line-interactive topology with automatic voltage regulation (AVR) corrects brownouts and overvoltage conditions without switching to battery, extending battery life and reducing the frequency of runtime events in environments with unstable utility power. The 2U rack-mount UPS installs directly into a standard 19-inch rack, and it can also be configured for tower or wall-mount orientation, giving integrators flexibility when planning a network closet or server room layout. Pure sine wave output makes it compatible with active PFC power supplies commonly found in servers, switches, and rack-mount AV processors, which matters for commercial installations running mixed IT and AV loads. The unit ships with 8 NEMA 5-15/20R outlets plus one L5-30R outlet, giving facilities managers enough outlet capacity to protect a full rack of network and AV gear from a single UPS. An interactive LCD front panel reports load level, battery status, and input voltage at a glance, which speeds up daily checks during routine facility walkthroughs. USB and DB9 (RS-232) ports support integration with server shutdown software and building management systems, and an open slot accepts an optional network management card for SNMP monitoring across a data center or multi-site deployment. Because the battery module (RBC94-2U) is hot-swappable, IT staff can replace batteries without powering down connected equipment, which is important for network closets and server rooms that cannot tolerate downtime during maintenance. TAA compliance makes this model a straightforward choice for government space and any commercial deployment with federal procurement requirements attached to the purchase order.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the SM3000RM2UTAA compatible with server active PFC power supplies?
Yes. The unit outputs a pure sine wave, which is required by active PFC power supplies commonly used in servers, network switches, and rack-mount AV equipment. Simulated or stepped sine wave UPS units can cause these power supplies to fault or shut down.

Can this UPS be installed in a standard 19-inch server rack?
Yes. It is a 2U rack-mount unit designed to install into a standard 19-inch rack alongside network and AV equipment. It can also be configured for tower or wall-mount use if rack space is not available.

Does it support remote monitoring for a data center or multi-site deployment?
Yes. The UPS includes USB and DB9 ports for server shutdown software integration, plus an open slot for an optional network management card that enables SNMP and web-based remote monitoring.

Is the battery replaceable without shutting down connected equipment?
Yes. The RBC94-2U battery module is hot-swappable, allowing IT staff to replace the battery pack without powering down the load, which is important for network closets and server rooms with uptime requirements.

Is this model suitable for government or federal procurement?
Yes. The SM3000RM2UTAA is TAA-compliant, making it eligible for GSA Schedule purchases and other federal procurement requirements common in government space deployments.

What is the runtime at full load versus half load?
Runtime is approximately 3.5 minutes at full load (2250W) and approximately 10 minutes at half load. Runtime can be extended with a compatible external battery pack rated up to 1600W.

What is covered under warranty?
The unit carries a 2-year limited worldwide warranty from Eaton covering manufacturing defects.

Can I integrate this UPS with a building management or emergency shutdown system?
Yes. The unit includes an Emergency Power Off (EPO) port for integration with facility-wide emergency shutdown systems, which is commonly required in data center and server room installations.
