HP Netserver High Density Rack Solutions Overview (LP 2000r)
Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
The Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is used to provide power to servers and peripherals should the
AC power fail. Generally, the UPS will maintain an appropriate level of AC voltage and current long enough
for the equipment to save open files and shut itself down in an orderly manner.
All UPSs sold by HP for use with the HP Netserver LP 2000r also feature complete surge protection and
noise filtering.
Sizing a UPS is easy. However, many people are often confused over the differences between Watts and VA
and which rating to use when selecting a UPS.
Power is a measure of energy divided by time. In direct current (DC) environments power is expressed as:
Power = Volts x Amps
In alternating current (AC) circuits, however, some of the current may travel into and back out of the
equipment. This current is called a harmonic current and creates an apparent power (VA), which is larger
than the actual power (W).
For many electrical devices the difference between the apparent power (VA) and the actual power (W)
can be ignored. This applies to the HP Netserver LP 2000r. However, some devices without “power factor
correction” may have an apparent power (VA) that is up to two times the Watt rating of the device.
Normally, the required UPS rating may be determined by the total Watts required. However, if the UPS
load consists of a high percentage on non-power factor corrected equipment, the VA rating of the UPS
must also be considered to avoid overloading the UPS.
These are the UPSs available for the HP Netserver LP 2000r:
