Key Features

Everything you need in one device

🔄

Online Double-Conversion

The 9PX uses true online double-conversion topology — the load is always powered through the rectifier-inverter chain, providing complete isolation from all mains irregularities. Zero transfer time means no power event ever reaches connected equipment. Optimal for sensitive servers, storage arrays, and networking hardware.

🔋

ABM Battery Management

Eaton's ABM 3-stage charging monitors battery voltage and temperature, charging only when necessary and at the optimal rate — extending VRLA battery life by up to 50% vs continuous float charging. Over a 5-year UPS deployment this typically means one fewer battery replacement cycle, directly reducing total cost of ownership.

🔧

Hot-Swap Batteries

The 9PX features front-accessible hot-swap batteries that can be replaced while the UPS remains on-line and connected equipment is protected. This is a critical feature for 24/7 data centre environments where UPS shutdown for battery maintenance is operationally unacceptable.

📡

NETWORK-M3 Gigabit NMC

The optional NETWORK-M3 Gigabit network management card provides SNMP v1/v2c/v3, Modbus TCP/IP, and web management. IPv6 compatible, dual Ethernet ports for primary and secondary management network connectivity. Integrates with all major DCIM platforms and Eaton's IPM software suite.

💻

Virtualisation Ready

Eaton's Intelligent Power Manager (IPM) software provides graceful shutdown integration for VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix Hypervisor, and Linux/Windows servers. IPM triggers VM migration via vMotion before host shutdown, ensuring clean state across the entire virtual infrastructure.

📊

Intelligent LCD Display

The 9PX features a comprehensive LCD display providing real-time input/output voltage, frequency, load percentage, battery level, and estimated runtime. Historical event logging and power quality reporting are accessible directly from the front panel or via the IPM software.

About the Eaton 9PX

The Eaton 9PX is Eaton's premium single-phase online UPS for server rooms and data centre edge deployments — available from 1500VA to 6000VA in 2U and 3U rack/tower convertible form factors. The 9PX combines true online double-conversion protection with Eaton's industry-leading ABM battery management and hot-swap battery capability, making it one of the most capable and operationally friendly UPS systems in its class.

As an online double-conversion UPS, the 9PX provides complete electrical isolation between the mains supply and connected equipment — all power passes through the rectifier and inverter continuously. Voltage spikes, brownouts, frequency deviations, and harmonic distortion from the mains are all completely absorbed by the rectifier stage. Connected servers, storage, and network equipment receive consistently clean 230V 50Hz power regardless of mains conditions, with zero transfer time on mains failure.

The combination of ABM battery management and hot-swap batteries is particularly valuable in data centre environments. ABM's 50% battery life extension reduces scheduled battery replacement interventions, and when replacement is eventually required, hot-swap capability means the UPS and its connected load remain uninterrupted throughout. The NETWORK-M3 Gigabit NMC and IPM software provide comprehensive management integration for virtualised environments — the 9PX is certified for VMware vSphere and qualifies for VMware HCL listing.

Use Cases

Ideal for a wide range of deployments

🖥️

Server Racks & Edge Data Centres

9PX is the definitive online UPS for server racks requiring zero transfer time and complete mains isolation — essential for high-density 1U servers, blade chassis, and storage arrays.

💾

Storage Arrays & NAS

Zero transfer time online protection ensures NVMe-oF arrays, SAN controllers, and unified storage appliances never experience a power event — preserving data integrity and avoiding forced RAID reconstruction.

🌐

Critical Network Infrastructure

Online isolation from mains transients and harmonics protects Cisco, Juniper, and Arista core switching and routing hardware. The 9PX's 6kVA model protects larger network aggregation racks.

☁️

VMware & Hyper-V Hosts

IPM vSphere integration enables graceful VM migration via vMotion and clean host shutdown on UPS low battery — ensuring no VM data loss during extended power outages.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is the difference between 5PX Gen2 and 9PX?

The 5PX Gen2 uses line interactive topology (4–8ms transfer time, AVR corrects brownouts). The 9PX uses online double-conversion (0ms transfer, complete mains isolation). The 9PX is suited to more sensitive equipment and environments with high mains disturbance; the 5PX Gen2 is suitable for most server room deployments at a lower cost.

Q. Can batteries be replaced without shutting down the 9PX?

Yes — the 9PX features front-accessible hot-swap batteries. The UPS remains on-line and the load continues to be protected throughout the battery replacement procedure. No UPS shutdown or load interruption is required.
