Economy Mode Operation
In Economy Mode, SmartOnline UPS
Systems save energy, eliminate heat and
reduce operating costs by implementing
dynamic double conversion. As long as
input power quality is satisfactory, the UPS system suspends
double conversion and operates with maximum efficiency. If
input power falls outside the satisfactory range, the UPS
system resumes double conversion until input power quality
improves. Replacing 160kVA of legacy on-line UPS capacity
with SmartOnline UPS Systems operating in Economy Mode
can save more than $20,000 per year.

Ideal Power for Critical Systems
SmartOnline UPS Systems provide ideal power for critical
network systems, isolating equipment from blackouts,
brownouts, overvoltages, surges, line noise, harmonic
distortion, electrical impulses and frequency variations. True
on-line double conversion delivers pure sine wave output
24x7 and complies with worldwide standards for voltageand frequency-independent operation. No matter what your
power line throws at you—rolling blackouts, industrial power
fluctuations, dangerous transient voltages—your equipment
will continue to receive reliable power and your critical
network systems will stay up and running around the clock.

MAXIMIZE SYSTEM AVAILABILITY
with SmartOnline UPS Systems
UPS systems are crucial to maintaining system availability, but the wrong UPS system can actually cause downtime. Traditional UPS systems typically require you to power down and disconnect your equipment during a UPS repair. Before you can restore productivity, you’ll need a repair technician to install the new UPS system and you’ll need to reconnect,powerupandtestallyourequipment. SmartOnline Hot-Swappable UPS Systems eliminate these shortcomings.

AllSmartOnlineUPSSystemsincludehot-swappable batteriesandanautomaticbypassthatkeepsyour equipment powered by utility power in the event of an internal fault or overload. SmartOnline Hot-Swappable UPS Systems also have one or more hot-swappable power modules and a detachable PDU with a manual bypass switch. After you turn the bypass switch, you can completely removeandreplacethepowermodulewhilethe detachablePDUkeepsyourcriticalsystemsupand running, effectively reducing mean time to repair (MTTR) to zero. A SmartOnline Hot-Swappable UPS System can
eliminate 60 minutes of downtime during a single repair, saving average midsize businesses up to $70,000 per incident.
During repair, critical systems are dead in the water while the traditional UPS system is disconnected, replaced and rewired by one or more costly service specialists – 60+ minutes of downtime per incident, plus additional time scheduling the service outage and waiting for the repair technician to arrive.

SmartRack Thermal Duct Rack Enclosures
SmartRack Thermal Duct Rack
Enclosures keep equipment cooler
without using electricity or
generating additional heat. An
adjustable overhead duct and
sealed rear doors route warm
exhaust air directly to your facility’s
HVAC return air stream. The
negative pressure of the return air
duct pulls heat from the enclosure,
increasing cooling capacity and
efficiency.
SmartRack Wall-Mount
Rack Enclosures
Ideal for locations with limited floor space, SmartRack
Wall-Mount Rack Enclosures are available in sizes from 6U to
26U. Most models include a hinged wall bracket that allows the
enclosure to swing away from the wall for easy access to
equipment and cabling. An optional caster kit is
available for floor-standing and roll-away applications.
For applications that do not require a secure cabinet,
SmartRack Wall-Mount Open Frame Racks from 2U to
22U are also available.
14
SmartRack Open Frame Racks
SmartRack Open Frame Racks provide economical
equipment organization and cable management for
applications that do not require a secure enclosure.
2-post racks are available in 25U and 45U sizes. 4-post
racks are available in 13U, 25U and 45U sizes, as well
as a 42U heavy-duty model.
Compact Air Conditioning Unit
The portable, maintenance-free Compact Air Conditioning Unit
provides 12,000 BTU (up to 3.4kW) of supplemental cooling
capacity. It’s ideal for cooling overheated rack enclosures,
IT equipment hot spots and network closets without access to
facility air conditioning. You can focus cool air through its flexible
cooling duct or cool an entire room through its louvered vent.
The unit also filters and dehumidifies air. Condensate is
re-evaporated for drip-free operation, so you won’t waste time
emptying water collection tanks. Installation does not require
plumbing or special circuits. Eco-friendly R410a refrigerant meets
environmental standards worldwide.
Heat Removal Fan Panels
The 3U Horizontal Fan Panel removes warm air from enclosure
hot spots with three high-performance fans. The Roof Fan Panel
replaces the standard SmartRack Enclosure roof panel and
includes six high-performance fans.
Airflow Management Accessories
Airflow management accessories facilitate front-to-rear airflow
for increased cooling efficiency, especially for SmartRack
Enclosures arranged in a hot-aisle /cold-aisle configuration. They
prevent warm exhaust air from recirculating and contaminating
cool intake air. Accessories include 1U Blanking Panels, Cable
Pass-Through Panels and Rack Enclosure Skirts.
Rack Shelves
Fixed and sliding rack shelves with capacities up to 250 lb are
available for SmartRack Rack Enclosures and Open Frame Racks.
Internal Cable Managers
A variety of ring-type and duct-type vertical and horizontal
Internal Cable Managers are available. Vertical Cable Managers
include toolless mounting.
External Cable Managers
Cable Ladders and Cable Troughs
route cables between racks and
across aisles. They also separate
power and data cables to reduce
interference and maintain optimal
data transmission speeds.
Heat Removal Fan Door
The Heat Removal Fan Door connects
to a standard-width 42U or 48U
SmartRack Enclosure in place of the
rear doors. Four powerful centrifugal
fans supercharge front-to-rear airflow
to remove heat through overhead
ducts, which connect to a drop ceiling
or your facility’s HVAC return air
stream. Digital thermometers display
intake and exhaust temperature.
High-Capacity Cable Managers
With double-sided cable channels
and flexible fingers at 1U increments,
High-Capacity Cable Managers
organize and secure large quantities
of patch cables in high-density data
centers and network closets. HighCapacity Cable Managers are
available in 6-inch and 12-inch widths.

3-Phase Power Distribution Units
3-Phase PDUs are available in two varieties: Monitored
and Switched. They’re similar to standard PDUs, but
they accept 3-phase input power and provide singlephase output power. Switched 3-Phase PDUs can also
measure and display the connected equipment load of
individual outlets.
Hot-Swap Power Distribution Units
Hot-Swap PDUs pass through utility power to connected
equipment during UPS system maintenance, repair or
replacement, preventing downtime. They add hot-swap
capability to UPS systems up to 3kVA.
