No prices on the 230 V models. That's what I have currently (the only power options available too).
Odd. Definitely a web glitch. Thanks for letting us know. We'll have it fixed ASAP.
In the mean time, prices are right in line with their 120V equivalents. -
@MattSpeller that picture is going to be their new ad!

Why wouldn't we use it! So gorgeous. I almost cried a little...

@BRRABill here it is.

@JaredBusch They can report status, but you're unable to take any action on the ones that do not have the network card.
-
@BRRABill indeed @Dashrender , no network card slot on the "Superior" models. (Also not rack mountable). Breakdown of line card can be found here. "P" is for premium. Anything with "X" has extended battery capabilities.

@windso he's actually printing and framing it right now! www.eaton.com/9PX is @windso's baby
-
So for 1 server, the network reporting wouldn't be a big deal. If you had a bunch, or multiple Eaton units, that's whee the network management start to be really useful.

@BRRABill unless you want to shut that one server down remotely
Which can come in handy when the power goes out, your A/C isn't running and your server starts to overheat while running on battery. (FEAR MONGERING!!!) -

@windso on the weekend no less!!!

Which can come in handy when the power goes out, your A/C isn't running and your server starts to overheat while running on battery. (FEAR MONGERING!!!)Precisely what we use the 9PX for. Servers stay up for the ~10-15 mins it takes to shut them down, then the bulk of the run time goes to our PoE switches + Mitel box to keep the phones running in case of emergency.

FEAR CONTROLLED!

By the way - kudos to the engineer who designed the rack mount EBU's so that you can pull the batteries out, rack it, stuff them back in. My back thanks you.

You bet. Quite a team effort in reality.

I now get to look into that.
-
Just got out of a power outage post mortem.
I get to replace the UPS in the remote network closet with a UPS that works on the network. Yeah!
Who should I talk to about the trade in stuff?
I currently have an APC 1000XL. I want at least 1500VA and talks to the network.

Many thanks for the Eaton folks coming out and hanging with us and answering our questions today!

Yes, this has been awesome!

Thanks! We will reach out if we notice questions that needed answers and got overlooked during the rapid fire!

Moving forward, if there are Eaton questions, who should we ping?
