IBM 1500VA LCD 2U Rack Uninterruptible Power

Supply for IBM System x

IBM System x at-a-glance guide

The IBM 1500VA LCD 2U Rack uninterruptible power supply (UPS) delivers 1000 watts of power in only

2U of rack space, providing smart energy management and the highest level of power protection that

today's IT infrastructures require. With an efficiency rating of 95% or greater, the UPS helps reduce

energy usage and cooling costs, improves energy management, and optimizes workload performance

and availability for IBM System x and BladeCenter server applications. This high-density UPS packs

more real power (watts) into a space-saving 2U of rack space to protect more equipment and leaves room

for expanding IT systems.

The IBM 1500VA LCD 2U Rack UPS is shown in Figure 1.

Did You Know?

The IBM 1500VA UPS has a bright, easily customizable, and graphical LCD display that lets you

configure the device and displays important UPS status information in one of nine languages (English,

French, German, Spanish, Russian, Korean, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese).

The UPS is exceptionally easy to manage and an ideal solution for standardization across the global

enterprise.

This UPS enhances system availability with Advanced Battery Management (ABM) technology, which

significantly extends battery service life, allows individual control of receptacle groups to maximize run

time for critical devices in the event of a prolonged power outage, and provides a real-time clock that

enables precise shutdown and power up of systems in a preferred sequence, and records specific

power-related occurrences for more accurate trending and data analyses.

The IBM 1500VA UPS integrates with IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager to help improve

energy management.

About uninterruptible power supplies An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a device that acts as a defensive barrier between electronic equipment and incoming power problems. It conditions, regulates, and filters out power disturbances to ensure a clean power source for IT equipment. A UPS also provides battery backup in the event of a power failure.

IBM UPS Manager software The UPS comes with the IBM UPS Manager software. The management software provides up-to-date graphics of UPS power and system data and power flow. It also gives you a complete record of critical power events, and notifies you of important UPS or power information. If there is a power outage and the UPS battery power becomes low, the software can automatically shut down the system to protect the data before the UPS shutdown occurs.

IBM Environmental Monitoring Probe The Environmental Monitoring Probe (EMP) (part number 46M4113) is used to report local temperature and humidity values and make that information available to management tools such as IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager (AEM). The EMP connects to the UPS via the Network Management Card. The EMP is shown in Figure 10. Figure 10.
