UPS delivers 4,500 W in 3U rack-to-tower profile.
Press Release Summary:
Designed for dense data-center environments, line-interactive HP R5500, offering 1,500 W per U, uses digital signal processor rather than transformer and provides voltage regulation without using battery. Two load segments provide flexibility to configure scheduled startups and shutdowns, in addition to independently control separate loads. Option cards and Extended Runtime Modules add networking capabilities and load segmentation, while maximizing system back up time.
Original Press Release:
HP R5500 UPS Delivers 4500 Watts in 3U Rack-to-Tower Profile
(Houston, August 18, 2008) - Introducing the rack-to-tower HP R5500 uninterruptible power system (UPS). Designed for dense data-center environments, the HP R5500 UPS offers industry leading power density of watts per U-space. More true power in a smaller form factor provides more performance while saving valuable rack space for server and storage equipment. The HP R5500 UPS has 1500 watts per U, 4500 watts total in just 3U. This line-interactive UPS uses a digital signal processor rather than a transformer and provides voltage regulation without using the battery. With two independently controllable load segments, an optional rack-to-tower conversion kit, and no-cost HP Power Management software bundled in the box, it's easy to customize this UPS to unique situations and manage systems quickly and remotely. Option cards and Extended Runtime Modules (ERMs) add networking capabilities and load segmentation, while increasing system back up time.
The two load segments provide the flexibility to configure scheduled startups and shutdowns, in addition to independently control separate loads. Working in conjunction with HP Power Management Software, the HP UPS R5500 can be configured to prioritize and extend the runtime of critical devices. By shutting down a load segment that is connected to less critical equipment, the runtime for more critical equipment is extended, providing additional protection.
Other features include:
- RoHS compliance
- 5000 VA / 4500 Watts in 3U
- Attached line cords for easier connection
- Extra long battery life with Enhanced Battery Management (EBM)
- Longer run time with Digital Signal Processing technology (DSP)
- Optional Extended Runtime Modules (ERMs)
- Optional Tower conversion kit changes rack-mountable R5500 to tower
- Enhanced front panel display
- Hot swappable electronics & batteries
- Support for two load segments
- Backed by a limited three-year warranty, HP's pre-failure warranty, and a load protection guarantee in North America
Pricing and Availability:
Sold through Authorized Dealers, the HP R5500 UPS and rack-to-tower conversion kit are available now with U.S. Internet prices starting at $3099 and $150, respectively. HP Power Manager is a web-based application that enables administrators to manage an HP UPS from a browser-based management console and is bundled at no cost with the HP R5500 UPS.
