Did You Know
Unlike other competing UPS topologies, the IBM 11000VA UPS features online double-conversion
technology to fully protect connected equipment from all nine of the most common power problems:
outages, sags, surges, spikes, brownouts, line noise, frequency variation, switching transients, and
harmonic distortion. The UPS has a bright, easily customizable, graphical LCD display that lets you
configure the device and displays important UPS status information in one of nine languages.
This UPS enhances system availability with Advanced Battery Management (ABM) technology, which
significantly extends battery service life and optimizes recharge time, and by providing individual control
of receptacle groups that can maximize run time for critical devices in the event of a prolonged power
outage. It also provides a real-time clock that enables precise shutdown and powerup of systems in a
preferred sequence, and records specific power-related occurrences for more accurate trending and data
analyses. The IBM 11000VA UPS integrates with IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager™ to help
improve energy management.
