Introduction

Strato Pi UPS enhances the Raspberry Pi Model B version 2, 3 and 4 with several 
hardware features to make it suitable for use in professional applications where reliability 
and service continuity are key requirements.

Strato Pi UPS is available as a bare board or fully assembled unit, including a Raspberry 
Pi 3 Model B or B+ or Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, in a standard DIN-rail case. The assembled 
unit is also available with the SPBF10X Strato Pi Fan active cooling option.

The information contained in this manual covers all versions, except where explicitly stated 
otherwise. The bare board is called “Strato Pi UPS board”, while the assembled unit is 
“Strato Pi UPS server”.
