Eaton SM3000RMXLNTAA – TAA-Compliant 3000VA Rack UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton SM3000RMXLNTAA is a TAA-compliant 3000VA / 2880W line-interactive UPS built for network closets, data centers, and server rooms where power protection and government procurement requirements both matter. This 2U rack-mount UPS delivers pure sine wave output, automatic voltage regulation, and extended-runtime battery support to keep servers, switches, and rack-mounted AV/IT equipment online through brownouts, sags, and short outages. It ships with a pre-installed WEBCARDLX network interface for remote monitoring, making it a practical fit for IT teams managing distributed rack infrastructure. For integrators sourcing TAA-compliant UPS hardware for government or federally funded installations, this model documents its compliance directly from Eaton.

Product Description

The SM3000RMXLNTAA is part of Eaton's SmartPro line-interactive UPS series, engineered for commercial-grade backup power in 120V environments. Its 2U rack/tower form factor mounts into a standard 19-inch rack or converts to tower orientation, giving integrators flexibility when planning network closet or data center layouts. The unit outputs a true pure sine wave at 3000VA / 2880W, which is important for protecting sensitive server power supplies and active network equipment that can misbehave on stepped-approximation waveforms. Automatic voltage regulation (AVR) corrects minor voltage sags and surges without switching to battery, extending battery life and reducing wear during everyday utility fluctuations.

Nine total outlets — eight 5-15/20R outlets plus one L5-30R outlet, split across two switchable load banks — let administrators sequence non-critical loads to shed first during an outage, extending runtime for priority equipment. The front-panel LCD display reports load level, battery status, and input/output voltage at a glance, which simplifies routine facilities checks in a server room or network closet. A pre-installed WEBCARDLX network management card provides SNMP/web-based remote monitoring, so IT staff can check UPS health from a network operations center rather than walking the rack row. USB, RS232 serial, and EPO (emergency power off) ports round out the connectivity for integration with building management systems and data center automation platforms. Because the SKU is TAA-compliant, it is commonly specified for government facilities, public sector IT closets, and any deployment requiring Trade Agreements Act documentation during procurement.

Key Features

• Pure Sine Wave Output — Delivers clean 3000VA / 2880W power that matches utility waveform quality, protecting servers and active network gear from the distortion of stepped-approximation UPS output.
• 2U Rack/Tower Form Factor — Mounts in a standard 19-inch rack alongside switches and servers, or converts to tower orientation for network closets without rack space.
• Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) — Corrects under- and over-voltage conditions on the fly without switching to battery, reducing battery wear from everyday utility fluctuations.
• Pre-Installed WEBCARDLX Network Interface — Enables SNMP and web-based remote monitoring for centralized management of rack-mount UPS fleets across a data center or campus.
• Nine Outlets in Two Switchable Banks — Eight 5-15/20R and one L5-30R outlet let facilities teams shed non-critical loads first to extend runtime on priority equipment.
• Front-Panel LCD Display — Shows load, battery status, and input/output voltage for fast on-site diagnostics during routine server room or network closet checks.
• TAA-Compliant Design — Meets Trade Agreements Act sourcing requirements, simplifying specification for government and federally funded commercial deployments.
• USB, RS232, and EPO Connectivity — Integrates with building management systems, data center automation, and remote emergency shutoff circuits.
• Hot-Swappable, User-Replaceable Battery — VRLA battery pack (RBC58-2U) can be replaced without powering down connected equipment, minimizing planned maintenance downtime.

Typical Applications

• Network closet
• Server room
• Data center
• Government space

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the SM3000RMXLNTAA compatible with standard 19-inch server racks?
Yes. It is a 2U rack-mount unit that installs in a standard 19-inch rack using included rail hardware, or it can be oriented as a tower unit for network closets without rack space.

What runtime should we expect at typical server or network loads?
Runtime depends on connected load: expect roughly 3 minutes at full 2880W load and about 10 minutes at half load. For longer runtime needs, plan for load shedding via the two switchable outlet banks or pair with additional external battery packs where supported.

Does this UPS support remote monitoring for a network operations center?
Yes. It ships with a pre-installed WEBCARDLX network interface that provides SNMP and web-based monitoring, so IT staff can check status remotely instead of physically inspecting each rack.

Why does TAA compliance matter for this UPS?
TAA compliance means the product meets Trade Agreements Act sourcing rules, which is often a hard requirement for government agencies, contractors, and any procurement funded by federal dollars. Specifying this SKU avoids compliance issues during bid review.

Can the battery be replaced without shutting down connected equipment?
Yes. The VRLA battery pack (replacement model RBC58-2U) is user-replaceable and designed to be swapped while the UPS continues supporting the load, minimizing planned maintenance downtime.

What is the warranty coverage on this unit?
Eaton backs the SM3000RMXLNTAA with a 2-year limited warranty covering the UPS hardware.

What connectivity options are available for building management or automation integration?
The unit includes USB, RS232 serial, and EPO (emergency power off) ports in addition to the network card, supporting integration with building management systems and data center automation platforms.
