NetShelter SX racks, your load is protected by a mere
14 square feet of UPS equipment, allowing you to reclaim
floor space for your IT equipment.

2. Main intelligence module and
redundant intelligence module
Backup for the swappable main intelligence module provides
the maximum possible availability for your system.

3. Swappable 10 kW high-efficiency power module

High-efficiency power modules reduce power and cooling
costs, saving you money while delivering the optimal power
7
protection your data center deserves.

4. Dual-mains input
Dual-mains input allows for top or bottom feed connection to 9
two separate power inputs for increased availability.

5. Built-in static bypass switch

The swappable static bypass switch transfers the load to
utility power without interruption in case of heavy overload
or faulty conditions and ensures that even in 125% overload
conditions, the data center remains operational.

6. Embedded network management card

Provides UPS status and event notification to simplify
UPS and power distribution unit (PDU) management.
Two SmartSlot positions support dry contact,

7. LCD display interface
Offers a clear text-based overview of alarms, status data, and

system configuration options in a central location.

8. Swappable battery module

Connected in parallel for increased availability, these
swappable battery modules feature advanced battery 5
monitoring and temperature-compensated battery charging
that extend battery life. Swappability lowers the cost of
replacement and mean time to repair. Up to four battery
frames can be installed for longer runtimes.

9. Advanced battery management

With advanced monitoring capabilities,
Symmetra PX 100 kW UPS detects failing battery units
before they become a problem — no add-on battery
management system necessary. Each battery unit in
the battery module records its battery performance and
monitors its temperature, reporting this data to the UPS. The
Symmetra PX 100 also continually calculates the battery
charge percentage and discharge characteristics. During
utility power failure or battery self-test, the UPS performs
battery diagnostics on each battery unit and generates an
alarm if significant performance deviations are detected.

Modular batteries
Modular batteries can be added or replaced quickly and easily.
• Simply slide the battery module into place. All DC connections are
preconfigured and insulated — no cable installation or contact with
DC terminals required.
• Patented rear connectors enable toolless connection and disconnection.
Parallel strings increase availability.
• One row of modules makes one string. All battery modules support the
load, so no individual battery is a single point of failure.
Now, even batteries look great in the data center.
Patented battery
