Eaton SMART3000RM2UL – Lithium 3kVA UPS, 2U Rack-Mount

Product Overview

The Eaton SMART3000RM2UL is a 3kVA, 2U rack-mount UPS built around a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery, making it a strong lithium battery UPS for server room and commercial AV rack deployments. As a rack-mount lithium UPS for AV rack installations, it recharges in under two hours and weighs less than a lead-acid equivalent unit of the same capacity, which matters when space and load limits are tight inside a shared equipment rack. This 3kVA line-interactive UPS 2U unit is intended for critical server, network, and telecom equipment that cannot tolerate unplanned downtime. It combines commercial-grade power protection with a battery chemistry designed for a longer service life and more charge/discharge cycles than standard VRLA batteries.

Product Description

This Tripp Lite-engineered SmartPro UPS system pairs a 3kVA/2.25kW power rating with a LiFePO4 internal battery that more than doubles the service life of an equivalent lead-acid battery and delivers up to three times more charge/discharge cycles. The lithium pack recharges to full capacity in under two hours and weighs about 60 percent less than a comparable lead-acid battery, reducing the overall weight load on rack rails in a commercial UPS with lithium battery backup deployment. In a conference room or data closet AV rack, this fast-recharge UPS for data closet use means shorter recovery windows between outages, which matters for facilities running frequent testing or experiencing repeated brief utility interruptions. The unit delivers up to 9.5 minutes of runtime at half load and 3.5 minutes at full load, enough to allow a controlled shutdown or bridge a short outage for connected AV, network, and telecom gear. Eight NEMA 5-15/20R outlets plus one L5-30R outlet give integrators flexibility when distributing power across switches, DSPs, matrix switchers, and other rack-mounted AV equipment. A 98 percent line-mode efficiency rating and 570-joule surge suppression protect sensitive electronics from both everyday voltage fluctuations and transient surge events. The 2U form factor keeps the SMART3000RM2UL compatible with standard 19-inch AV and IT racks in server rooms, data closets, and equipment rooms supporting commercial meeting spaces.

Key Features

• LCD Display with USB/DB9 — Provides real-time monitoring and standard connectivity for management software.

Typical Applications

• Boardroom and conference room AV racks supporting critical video, audio, and control equipment
• Commercial meeting space server closets requiring rapid recovery after brief outages
• Government space data and telecom rooms with strict uptime requirements
• Training room and multi-purpose room equipment racks running network and AV gear continuously

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this UPS compatible with standard 19-inch racks?

Yes. The SMART3000RM2UL is built in a 2U rack-mount form factor for standard 19-inch AV and IT equipment racks.

How does the lithium battery affect installation compared to lead-acid UPS units?

The lithium battery reduces overall unit weight, which eases handling during rack installation, and it recharges faster after an outage than a comparable lead-acid battery.

Can this UPS support a mixed AV and IT equipment rack?

Yes. With one L5-30R outlet and eight NEMA 5-15/20R outlets, it can power a combination of higher-draw equipment and standard AV or network devices from a single unit.

What warranty and protection plan comes with this UPS?

It includes a 5-year limited warranty along with $250,000 Ultimate Lifetime Insurance coverage for connected equipment.

Does this UPS include remote monitoring?

The unit includes an LCD display for local monitoring plus USB and DB9 ports for connection to UPS management software.

Who should install this UPS in a commercial rack?

A qualified AV integrator or facilities electrician should mount and wire the unit, confirming rack depth, load distribution, and circuit capacity before commissioning.
