Features
The IBM 1500VA LCD 2U Rack UPS includes the following features and capabilities:
It has a high efficiency 1.5KVA UPS for increased rack power density.

It occupies only 2U of vertical rack space.

It has over 95% energy efficiency at 100% load.

It has an LCD display that provides intuitive, at-the-rack management and monitoring capabilities that

supports nine languages:
English.

French.

German.

Spanish.

Russian.

Korean.

Japanese.

Simplified Chinese.

Traditional Chinese.

It has four or six receptacles:

Model 5395-1AX has four NEMA 5-15R and two IEC 320 C13 receptacles.

Model 5395-1KX has four IEC 320 C13 receptacles.

Its bundled intelligent IBM UPS Manager software enhances control and manageability.

It has IPv6 compliance for future proofing IP addressing and security.

It has a real-time clock that enables precise shutdown and power up of systems in preferred

sequence and time stamping on event logs to track and record specific power-related occurrences.
It integrates with IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager for power and thermal trending

analysis and management.
Its load segments allow for individual control of receptacle groups, maximizing run time for critical

devices.
It has an optional network management card (part number 46M4140) for enhanced UPS monitoring

and control.
It allows dual channel communication through the USB port and optional Network Management Card

at the same time, which is an effective redundancy feature that maximizes communications flexibility.
It has a Remote Emergency Power Off (REPO) port to remotely power off the UPS unit to prevent

battery operation during a power failure.
It requires a 20A (110V/120V model) or 10A (230V model) single-phase circuit.

It has hot swap batteries for maximum uptime, availability, and ease of maintenance.

It has an optional Environmental Monitoring Probe (part number 46M4113) for thermal management

requirements (temperature and humidity), which requires that the Network Management Card be
installed.
Its Advanced Battery Management (ABM) three-stage charging technology significantly extends

battery service life and optimizes recharge time. The three stages are:
1. The battery is quickly charged to 90% to make sure the UPS is prepared for the next outage.
2. ABM finishes charging the battery with a more moderate float charge.
3.
Once the battery is charged, ABM turns the charger off, preventing the batteries from being
overcharged.
