[. . . ] For a major Internet site, even a tiny glitch in the power causes unacceptable disruption of operating efficiency. An unprotected microprocessor malfunctions if power is interrupted for even a single AC cycle--1/60th of a second. The average reliability of power "at the plug, " however, is not nearly this reliable, so an additional combination of technologies--some applied to the grid, others on the customer premises--will be required to prevent malfunction of computers and other microprocessor-based equipment. A split-second deviation in the voltage of the electricity serving a fabrication plant can crash a sensitive component, causing downtime, missed deliveries, and lost product--interruptions that can cost the (semiconductor) industry as much as $2 million per day. [. . . ] In just five years, the electricity consumed by the computer and networking systems that power e-commerce has risen from a tiny fraction of the overall electricity pool to nearly 13 percent, according to RDI. Power problems are devastating in modern times: the unstable power supply that causes lockup (crash) of computers, corruption of hardware, destruction of motherboards, and the loss of data, etc. The main function of the UPS is to stabilize the power supply and provide continuous power supply to electrical/network devices via the backup battery when a power failure occurs. The purpose of this is to permit users to work through brief power shortages or provide sufficient time for users to start up the electric generator or perform a safe shutdown in an event of extended power failure. The UPS is not designed to function only when power failure occurs: it is designed to restrain voltage surges, spikes, sags, blackouts, and electrical noise. 5 Protecting enterprise environments with Belkin UPSes The costly effects of power problems in an enterprise environment The effects of blackouts and other power problems in an enterprise environment can be devastating and costly. Using a Belkin UPS to protect servers and other critical equipment prevents unnecessary downtime, loss of data, and damage to your hardware. Maximum data integrity and system uptime require a prioritized shutdown plan, which is managed by the bundled power management software. Preserving data is an increasingly complex issue in today's enterprise environments. Communication systems are required to transfer and store information within internal computer networks and must also provide critical links to enterprise-wide networks. Specifically designed for enterprise-wide networks With its advanced features and conveniently accessible design, the Belkin Rackmount UPS provides complete protection for servers, storage, networking, KVM, and other enterprise devices from damaging power fluctuations. The Belkin UPS also allows end users to monitor, control, and shut down servers remotely via Internet Protocol. Ensure data integrity system-wide with the bundled power management software A prioritized shutdown ensures that all network devices are shut down in an orderly, sequential manner, saving all work-in progress throughout the network. This configuration is a standard and typical wall outlet, which is also found in most residential homes. The amount of power available would be calculated by taking 120V and multiplying it by 15 Amps, giving a preliminary available power figure of 1, 800VA. A quick yet important safety note here: It is a safety regulation that you use only 80% of your available power in order to keep breakers from tripping and outlets from overloading. Keeping this safety regulation in mind reduces the safe available power to 1, 440VA. *See Specifications for 120VAC Model, page 20 8 Which Belkin UPS is right for you? OmniGuard Series from 1100VA to 3200VA Rackmount UPS Belkin has made it easy for you to select and buy the UPS that is right for your system. Just go to www. belkin. com and put the Belkin UPS product selector to work for you. Determining the required UPS power rating For configurations involving multiple servers and/or additional critical storage/option products, simply add up the total watts of the equipment that will be plugged into the UPS and select the UPS model with a watt rating higher than the equipment load. To allow for future system growth, a good rule of thumb is that the computer load should be about 60%-80% of the UPS capacity. Power supplies have the ability to support high-wattage ratings in a high-line (200V­250V) environment versus a low-line environment (100V­120V). The high-line watt column refers to the output power in a 208V environment and low-line watt column refers to a 120V environment. These power ratings are name-plate ratings; actual ratings are typically lower than name-plate ratings and depend upon the server configuration. 9 UPS front-panel configuration Models: F6C110-RKM-2U, F6C150-RKM-2U, F6C230-RKM-2U, and F6C320-RKM-3U 1.
