Know before you buy
Double conversion technology provides the highest level of power protection by constantly converting incoming AC power to DC and then back to clean, regulated AC. This ensures that your sensitive servers and data center equipment are isolated from power surges, spikes, and voltage fluctuations, providing a seamless transition to battery power during an outage.
Yes, the SRT8KXLTUS features a flexible rack/tower convertible design. It is designed to be mounted in a standard server rack, but it can also be used as a standalone tower unit depending on your specific space requirements.
This UPS supports up to 10 external battery packs. By adding these packs, you can significantly increase the runtime during a power failure to meet the specific needs of your critical operations.
Yes, the unit includes an embedded network management card and is EcoStruxure™ ready. This allows you to monitor the UPS status, receive alerts, and manage power settings remotely over your network.
