This is a 1U rackmount unit that includes rack brackets. Because of the unit's depth, I recommend mounting it as low as possible on your rack. When terminating data cables, a low mount in your rack cab/IDF/MDF will prevent obstruction and will allow you to support the UPS's bottom back portion if necessary. To keep the UPS cool and allow for venting, avoid mounting a copper switch directly above it. A 1U or 2U cable manager is useful for ensuring a gap between the UPS and the copper switch, as well as providing patch cable support.
Yes, the batteries can be replaced with replacement battery model RB0690X2 through the compartment door on top.
So, yes, the depth of the unit from the front bezel to the back is technically 9. 25”. However, it is a tad shallower. The distance between the front bezel and the back metal edge is nine millimeters. 125 However, there are a few different ways to install the ears. By default, the front bezel is half an inch behind the screen. As a result, there is only an eight-inch depth behind the rail. 5 inch. That's fantastic for me and my patch depth cabinet. With plenty of room for cords, it's a perfect fit. Angle plugs, in particular.

Lights flicker, the microwave clock keeps time, the TV continues to play a movie, my computer, which is plugged into a simple surge protector, continues to hum along as if nothing happened, and my little APC UPSes beep and click a little whenever there's a power outage from a nearby lightning strike. Then there's this shrill beeping from inside my closet. br>br>It's this stupid 500VA CyberPower rackmount thing I have to keep my server running long enough to properly shut down. Even a small power blip is too much for it. I figured I was drawing too much power from it, so I unplugged the server and now the router and switch are the only things plugged into it, and STILL it can't handle even a small increase in power. Before it stops screeching and powers up my equipment again, I have to turn it off and on. Keep in mind that all other electronics in the house are functioning perfectly. The display indicates that the load is at roughly 9%. br>br>This UPS is pathetic; it can't do the one thing it's supposed to do, and simple surge protectors outperform it. Even if you only require a small rackmount UPS, purchase something else.
We have both the OR500 and OR700 in service at two different locations, each with a different make/model whole-house generator. constructing high-performance structures Generators that produce watts Both UPS units have a load capacity of less than 200%. The natural gas generators' overall load capacity is less than 75%. While using generator power, the OR500 and OR700 become unstable and shut down. after it beeped incessantly and there was no way to turn off the audible warning, it was turned off. I even tried swapping the OR500 and OR700 between locations and got the same result. The UPS batteries are in good working order and are fairly new. We have other brands of desktop UPS units throughout the buildings, and none of them have a problem when powered by generators. br>When I first contacted support, I was told that there is a sensitivity adjustment to compensate for less-than-ideal conditions. than- The generator's AC output power is perfect. Basically, I got nowhere because the tech told me to try something that didn't work with these models. He said he'd escalate the problem and get in touch with me. That, of course, did not occur. I'm not going to buy anything from Cyberpower anymore. In the E- They'll end up in the trash.
First and foremost, let's address the issue of weight. The 1500VA (900w) is heavy, weighing in at around 50 pounds. I bought a StarTech 12U expandable rack and installed it in the 1U slot at the bottom. It sagged in the back due to the weight, but the mounting brackets and frame are both sturdy, so it held without issue. Once my two PDU's were mounted above it, the strain was quickly relieved, and it aligned without issue. br>br>At the moment, I'm powering connections from the two PDU's using two of the Battery Surge slots. This includes the following items:
- 1 x Ubiquity USG Pro - 2x UniFi 16 Port PoE Switches from Ubiquitibr>- 1x UniFi 8 Port PoE Switch from Ubiquitibr>- 2 Arris SB8200 Modems (balanced load)br>- 1 x Apple TV 4K (64GB) 1x Custom Built Tower (virtual machine development server) w/br>- The Intel 8600K has been overclocked to 5GHz. br>- 64 GB DDR4 (2666 MHz) RAMbr>- 6 x Samsung 860 Pro SSDs (1 x RAID-0). RAID-0, RAID-1, RAID-2, RAID-3, RAID Arrays (1 of them)br>- 8x 140mm Fans (6x in the case, 2x on the Noctua CPU Cooler)br>- 1000w Corsair PSUbr>br>With all of the above running (and all of them turned on and in use):
- Battery runtime is: 35m
- Use of Capacity (CU): 22%
While the 1500VA is certainly not cheap, the cost to potentially replace the above hardware alone significantly outnumbers the cost of the UPS by significantly large When comparing capacity and battery to what's currently plugged in, there's plenty of room to add displays and my MacBook Pro without worrying about the UPS being overloaded. The money was well spent, in my opinion.
The display reports 100% battery capacity, 28% load, and 30 minutes runtime. However, it drains from 100% to 0% in about 15 seconds when the power went out. This occurred the first time the power went out, which was only a month after the system was installed. Every time we lose power, it simply repeats itself. br>br>Based on the feedback, it appears to work for a large number of people and is an excellent value. if everything goes well.
So far, everything seems to be going swimmingly. I've had this in my home network rack for about six months and have had no problems with it; I like how it only takes up 1U in the rack and is reasonably good-looking. looking. Even though my rack isn't visible, I don't want to have unsightly equipment in my home. My cable modem, a single eero, a router, a switch, a Synology NAS, and six security system devices all get enough power from this unit. br>br>Recent changes: br>br> My star rating has been reduced to two. The battery died after it had been out of warranty for a few months. Last year's warranty period ended in December. Now that it's January, the battery is no longer able to hold a charge.
