by using a watchdog capability
Provides redundancy capability for dual-cord servers
An easy-to-use web browser interface

NMC)
Supported servers
The RT8kVA and RT11kVA 6U Rack or Tower UPS offerings are compatible with all System x and
ThinkServer servers and other devices that require AC power.
To determine the best fit UPS for a particular configuration, the following needs to be considered:
Total power load of the hardware that will be connected to the UPS
Number and type of outlets required
UPS outlet and group limitations for connecting the hardware to the UPS
To determine chassis, node and server overall power capacities, use the Power Configurator tool. The tool
can be downloaded from

To determine the power draw of other devices such as storage and switching that will be attached to the
UPS, refer to the products user manual for the maximum power draw.
