Introduction

Engineered to deliver the highest level of business continuity possible, the Symmetra LX uses a modular, redundant architecture that can scale power and run-time as demand increases or when higher levels of availability are required. Advancements in this next generation design greatly decrease foot print or U-space needed in an equipment rack, increase speed and ease of deployment and reduce repair time. With built-in network manageability and a comprehensive portfolio available from 4-16 kVA N+1, the on-line Symmetra LX is the choice to protect high-performance IT and telecom equipment in computer rooms and small data centers.

Benefits

Availability

• Modular design
  Provides fast serviceability and reduced maintenance requirements via self-diagnosing, field-replaceable modules.
• Configurable for N+1 internal redundancy
  Provides high availability through redundancy by allowing configuration with one more Power Module than is necessary to support the connected load.
• Redundant Intelligence Modules
  Provides higher availability to the UPS connected loads by giving redundant communication paths to critical UPS functions.
• Hot-swappable intelligence modules
  Ensures clean, uninterrupted power to protected equipment during Intelligence Module replacement.
• Hot-swappable power modules
  Ensures clean, uninterrupted power to protected equipment during Power Module replacement.
• Hot-swappable batteries
  Ensures clean, uninterrupted power to protected equipment throughout battery replacement.
• Power Modules connected in parallel
  Enhances availability by allowing immediate, seamless recovery from isolated module failures.
• Battery modules connected in parallel
  Delivers higher availability through redundant batteries.
• Automatic internal bypass
  Supplies utility power to the connected loads in the event of a UPS overload condition or fault.
• Automatic restart of loads after UPS shutdown
  Automatically starts up the connected equipment upon the return of utility power.
