Date: 6 October 2008

Grenoble-Montbonnot (France)… Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton® Corporation today announced the introduction of its new addition to the Powerware® series, the Eaton 9135 UPS (uninterruptible power system) specifically designed to meet the demanding needs of mission-critical computer networks and facilities’ digital operations. The new 5 and 6 kVA UPSs offer Information Technology (IT), data center and facility managers a feature-rich and easy to use power protection solution that safeguards systems against damage and costly power disturbances and outages.

Ideal for medium-density data centers, banking and security systems, process control, retail point-of-sale systems and telecommunications/VoIP equipment, the 9135 – delivers up to 6 kVA of clean double-conversion power in a slim 3U enclosure.

As the need for greener IT infrastructures becomes increasingly important, the new models operate at up to 97 percent efficiency in high efficiency mode and up to 91 percent in double conversion – using less energy and dissipating less heat – thus reducing expensive power and cooling costs.

“Eaton’s design and manufacturing teams continue to raise the bar in developing power protection solutions that meet the demanding power needs of IT, data center and facility managers,” said Hervé Tardy, vice president and general manager, Eaton Distributed Power Quality Business Unit. ”Today’s networks are complex and require power solutions that are reliable, energy efficient, flexible, small, intelligent and easy to use. Our new 9135 meets these criteria at a power, dependability and efficiency level that outperforms the competition.”

The 9135 also provides a high-level of operability with hot-swappable battery and control modules that allow users to quickly remove and replace power components without powering down the UPS or interrupting power to the connected equipment. For easy initialization, users can set-up the unit from the UPS’s intuitive and bright LCD screen as well as monitor conditions and troubleshoot problems.

As one of the most feature-rich UPSs in its class, the 9135 also provides:

• A wide input voltage window that eliminates the need to depend on batteries to correct power fluctuations.
• Extended battery runtime options to power essential systems for more than an hour during an outage.
• Convenient output receptacles and rear panel communication options for connectivity.
• The combination with an Eaton enclosure Power Distribution Unit (ePDU™) to power an entire rack of equipment from a single power cord.
• Simplified UPS monitoring and management with intuitive LanSafe® & Netwatch power management software from Eaton.
• Direct network connection (optional) with the new Eaton Network Management Card.

Available now, the 9135 models have a two-year limited factory warranty. For additional information on the 9135 and the complete series of Powerware products and services, visit www.eaton.com/powerware.
