Eaton SMART3000RM2U – 3000VA Rack-Mount Line-Interactive UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton SMART3000RM2U is a 3000VA/3000W rack-mount line-interactive UPS system built for commercial-grade backup power in data centers, network closets, and server rooms. It delivers pure sine wave output with automatic voltage regulation (AVR), protecting rack-mount servers, switches, and AV/IT infrastructure from brownouts, surges, and utility outages. Integrators specifying a 2U UPS for a 120V rack deployment get a line-interactive rack tower UPS that installs directly into standard server racks alongside networking and AV equipment. It is a practical fit anywhere continuous uptime for rack-mounted equipment is a requirement, not an option.

Product Description

The SMART3000RM2U is a 3kVA line-interactive UPS designed for rack, tower, or wall-mount installation, giving integrators flexibility when planning a network closet or data center buildout. The 2U rack-mount chassis fits standard 19-inch equipment racks and pairs cleanly with rack-mount switches, servers, and AV distribution gear in the same enclosure. Pure sine wave output ensures compatibility with active PFC power supplies commonly found in servers and networking equipment, which is a critical consideration when replacing a legacy UPS in an existing data center rack.

Automatic voltage regulation corrects both undervoltage and overvoltage conditions without switching to battery, extending battery life and reducing the frequency of transfer events in facilities with unstable utility power. The front-panel LCD cycles through ten selectable status screens, giving facilities and IT managers real-time visibility into load, battery status, and input voltage without needing a laptop or remote connection. A rear expansion slot accepts an optional network management card, enabling SNMP monitoring and remote shutdown integration for organizations that manage UPS fleets across a network operations center or facilities dashboard.

Outlet configuration includes two switchable load banks, useful for staged shutdown sequencing of non-critical equipment during extended outages, a common requirement in commercial meeting space and broadcast studio installations where AV and IT loads share a rack. Built-in RS-232 and USB ports support direct connection to a monitored workstation, and the emergency power off (EPO) port allows integration with building-wide safety systems, a requirement frequently specified in government space and data center installations. For AV/IT integrators handling commercial deployment across multiple rooms or facilities, this UPS is a dependable, serviceable backbone component for any rack-mount power protection strategy.

Key Features

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the SMART3000RM2U compatible with active PFC server power supplies?
Yes. It produces pure sine wave output on battery, which is required for reliable operation with active PFC power supplies used in most modern servers and networking equipment.

Can this UPS be installed in a standard 19-inch rack?
Yes. It ships as a 2U rack-mount unit and also converts to tower or wall-mount configuration, giving integrators flexibility for network closet or data center rack layouts.

What is the input connection, and will it work with existing facility wiring?
The unit uses an L5-30P plug on a 10-foot cord. Confirm your facility has a matching L5-30R receptacle before installation, or coordinate with an electrician to add one.

Does it support remote monitoring for a network operations center?
Yes. The unit has an open expansion slot for an optional WEBCARDLXE network management card, enabling SNMP-based remote monitoring and shutdown integration.

How long will connected equipment run during a power outage?
Runtime is approximately 3 minutes at full 3000W load and about 9 minutes at half load. Extended battery packs are available separately for longer runtime requirements.

What is the warranty on this UPS?
The SMART3000RM2U carries a 2-year manufacturer warranty, extendable to 3 years with product registration.

Can this UPS integrate with an emergency power-off (EPO) system?
Yes. A dedicated EPO port is included for integration with building-wide emergency shutdown systems, common in data center and government space installations.

Does Creation Networks provide installation support for rack-mount UPS systems?
Our team can help integrators confirm rack compatibility, load calculations, and receptacle requirements before installation. Contact us for project-specific guidance.
