Overview
In today's high availability server environments, unplanned power outages or line
quality irregularities can have a considerable financial impact on small, medium, and
large enterprise businesses. Selecting the right uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
can efficiently, reliably, and affordably help protect against these potentially costly
incidents.
The new power-dense IBM 1000VA and 1500VA LCD Tower UPS offerings provide
maximum protection, increased efficiency, and simplified power management to
safeguard small offices or System x distributed tower server environments.
IBM 5396 UPS tower offerings come in space-efficient 1.0kVA and 1.5kVA tower
designs. These models are equipped to meet the requirements of your highest

– 53962JX (100V) with eight NEMA 5-20R
– 53962KX (230V) with eight IEC 320 C13 receptacles
These units are designed to operate at a greater than 95% efficiency rating at full
load and can increase uptime, with next-generation power protection, while helping
reduce operating costs.
These new offerings also provide intuitive power management and monitoring
capabilities. The intelligent three-button, dual-color backlight graphical Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD) features a bright, easy-to-navigate panel that provides
configurability and displays important status information in nine languages - English,
French, German, Spanish, Russian, Korean, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and
Traditional Chinese. Runtime, load troubleshooting, and other vital information are
also exhibited. Intelligent power manager supervisory software is also standard to
monitor, manage, and to gradually shut down the connected server loads in the
event of an extended power interruption.
They also come equipped with a communication bay for installation of an optional
Network Management Card (46M4110). The Network Management Card provides
convenient over-the-network UPS remote monitoring and management through a
standard Web browser. An optional Environmental Monitoring Probe (46M4113) is
also available for thermal (temperature and humidity) management requirements.
IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager (AEM) provides an array of new
features that allow power and thermal trending analysis for improved power
management. By plugging systems into an IBM UPS, AEM is able to collect power
information for each device, presenting a more complete view of energy usage
within the data center. With access to accurate, detailed information on power usage
right at their fingertips, IT and facility managers are now able to manage their data
center for optimal energy efficiency, migrating workloads to alleviate hot spots or
transferring work from underutilized systems to conserve energy.
The new IBM 5396 UPSs also feature ABM technology, which incorporates
sophisticated sensing circuitry and an innovative three-stage charging technique
to significantly extend battery service life and optimize recharge time. ABM also
provides up to a 60-day notification when a hot-swappable battery is approaching
the end of its useful life. Hot-swappable batteries enable maximum uptime,
availability, and ease of maintenance.
All 5396 units come equipped with intelligent load segments. These individual
receptacle groups can be programmed and controlled allowing mission-critical
devices to be prioritized during shutdown to preserve battery runtime.

Product positioning
In the System x line of UPS offerings, the 1000VA and 1500VA LCD UPS options
add a higher level of power support for IBM systems. These products do not replace
any current offerings, but will reduce usage of the APC UPS 5000, since these new
offerings have much higher watt-per-U space, higher quality power conditioning, and
more management options.
These UPS products join the currently available IBM UPS family; they are highavailability UPS options in a tower form.
