Data Center Redundancy
Deploy between two separate power feeds (utility and generator/UPS) to automatically switch loads during power events, maintaining server and network uptime.
Branch Office IT
Provide cost-effective power redundancy for smaller server rooms with dual circuit availability, managed remotely from central IT teams.
Physical Profile
The black-finished chassis measures 1.73" (44 mm) in height, 17.01" (432 mm) in width, and 9.29" (236 mm) in depth, occupying exactly 1U of standard 19-inch rack space. Pre-installed rack mounting brackets and hardware simplify installation, while the 8.25 lb weight ensures stable mounting without excessive rack loading.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1U, 17.01" (432 mm), 9.29" (236 mm), 8.25 lb (3742.14 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
