Industry-leading advances in UPS design
• Hot-swappable electronics
• User-friendly hot-swap modules allows for safe and easy module replacement while systems are
up and running
• Extended-run capabilities
• Scalable run time with the option of adding up to four external battery packs
• 2U form factor can be used in the rack or as a tower
• Multiple options for management connectivity: serial, USB and network (LAN-based)
• Exceptional efficiency: 3000VA and 2850W mean this UPS has a power factor of .95, at a lower price
point than our previous 3000VA rack UPS products
Availability features
• QuickSwap™ batteries
• User-friendly, hot-swappable battery system
• Allows for safe and easy battery replacement while your system is up and running
• Automatic bypass
• Automatic bypass to input line on fault or power module removal
• Automatic voltage regulation (AVR)
• SmartBoost automatically corrects brownout conditions
• SmartTrim automatically corrects overvoltage conditions
• UPS will correct for voltage problems, within a certain range, without using the battery.
• An internal transformer is used to step up and step down the voltage
• Intelligent battery management
• CellGuard™ means longer battery life
• Precision battery charging system and automatic true-load battery tests result in improved
reliability
• Redundant overcharge protection contributes to longer battery life
• Battery replacement warning
• Automatic self-test ensures customer will be alerted to degraded batteries before they wear out
• Faster recharge time—typically 3 hours
• Output is a pure sine-wave when on battery, providing assurance of compatibility with all loads
Management features
• PowerChute Business Edition and PowerChute Network Shutdown software, included with each unit,
provide advanced UPS power management and diagnostics and an extensive set of user-configurable
features, including:
• Unattended system shutdown
• Testing/status checking
• UPS settings, such as transfer points, sensitivity and audible alarms
• Built-in Network Management Interface
• An embedded Network Management module provides full management of the IBM UPS3000X via
multiple open standards such as Telnet, HTTP, FTP and SNMP
• The network port can also be used in conjunction with shutdown software to provide a graceful
shutdown of the OS over the network
• Load, power and voltage meters
• The load display LEDs let you know if you are nearing the UPS load capacity
• The volt meter/battery charge LEDs report utility line voltage and battery capacity, allowing you to
gauge how much time you have before batteries are low
