It was relatively easy to install. We are getting ready for the summer heat in California and power loss is something we have to deal with. I will let you guys how it goes.
Pros: Easy To Set Up, Good Power Output, Long Battery Life, Quiet Operation
I had an older non-rack mounted UPS from another vendor being used to supply power a couple of rack servers in my small business. When the unit began to fail, I decided to give Tripp-Lite products a try and I purchased this device because it was rack-mountable and the price was excellent. This unit provided us with a 50% increase in VA rating and it more UPS protected outlets over the failing UPS. Installation was quick and easy. I didn't give it 5 stars ONLY because the battery isn't serviceable in this unit, but the upgrade to daisy chain an add-on external battery is intriguing. Overall a great product at a great price for any small business.
I have one in our server/network rack in our new building. The first power loss we experienced the UPS failed with a battery error. I contacted them and, after some minor troubleshooting steps to verify the failure, a new one was on the way. I received the replacement unit and returned the defective unit. I have had no problems with the replacement unit.
We use this product inside several racks protecting our teleconference and AV equipment. The unit works well and is very dependable but just be sure to test unit periodically and keep it free and clear of dust buildup and it could last you a very long time. We found that the fans will begin to knock and run very loud if there is any dust build up. It would be nice to have a filter to help keep dust away from fan and internal parts. The filter would be a line of defense and easy to clean and would not constrict the air flow unit needs to cool its self. I recommend this product for protection and back up power.(don't forget I would like design improvement ideal credits if any portion of ideal is used)
