- I have some resentment towards the CyberPower OR700LCDRM1U when compared to my non-Rackmount CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD UPS. Let's explore the OR700 and see what it offers!

First time in 20 years of my IT career I’ve heard someone call it an “UPS” and not a “U-P-S” lol
What can I say but you’re welcome! I love saying it this way. Mwuaahahaha May your ears be abused by my defiance!
SPX Labs hahaha love it. 😂
lol... Was just about to say the exact same thing but thought I'd check the comments first.
Lol I like your sense of humor. Just installed this in a home rack for a friend and while it bairly provides a couple minutes of battery back up, it works perfectly to stop the whole system from shutting down when the power flickers
Awww thanks! It’s hard to imagine life without a UPS now that I’ve had them for so long.
Absolutely loved this video! Thank you very much for the amazing humor 😂
I just gave that UPS away about 1 and a half years ago. It was so good
@@SPXLabs I just purchased and installed two of them in my rack. Absolute monsters! Love them!
Yeah I think you’ll be happy with them
The purpose for dual power supplies in equipment is so you can run from two separate power sources. When that isn't an option and you're utilizing a UPS, I would suggest just plugging a single PSU into the wall and the other into the UPS. This could increase your on-battery time, however, I haven't tested it myself. I don't have two sources of power in my house but in a datacenter environment, each PSU would be connected to independent power sources. My current set up starts at the main power panel to the house. I installed two dedicated circuits for the server rack. Equipment with dual PSU's are plugged into circuit A while the PSU is plugged into circuit B. The second PSU is plugged into the UPS. For critical hardware with single PSU's I have them plugged either into the UPS directly or into a PDU plugged into the UPS. This solves the issue if something trips the breaker.
*Wouldn't that leave the wall-plugged PSU vulnerable to failure from spikes, surges, and brown-outs?*
@@hulkhatepunybanner In a home environment yes, there is always a compromise. If your goal is surge protection then yeah, plug them both into the UPS. If your goal is longer battery life in a power event, then split the PSU's. I have installed a whole home surge protector on my electrical panel so my risk is minimal.
@@cargovankilla *Ok. A surge protector at the panel is the key to not burning out PSUs. I should look into that.*
@@hulkhatepunybanner I'm not saying it's key or that it will protect you completely, but it will reduce the risk from power source issues like surges and they're fairly inexpensive and easy to install.
Wait so the UPS has a fan? I don’t see any ventilation holes on the back or sides…
*UPS is just for proper shutdowns. For continuous electricity, get a propane or CNG generator for the whole house OR a solar panel + battery DIY setup for your rack.*
Correct David Banner
@@ericdraven7185 LOL
Depends on power company. Some don't like the generator as it can backfeed into the power lines and cause an electrical hazard for linesmen. You need a mains isolator of some sort. So get a proper company to install it and not do it yourself.
Hi, What I would suggest is running each power supply on a separate UPS just in case you loose power and 1 dies, then your server does not crash, I have had that problem on my desktop PC before.
Ian Stanbridge yeah buddy! That is how they are configured currently. Thanks for looking out!
Those are not 10/100 ethernet ports. It's a surge-protection circuit with RJ-45 connectors.
My UPS has 4 minutes of runtime and I have a 1500VA one.
The biggest idea i got from this video...is your desk, never thought of using the adjustable work bench from huskey as a desk
Lol nice. Yeah it’s been worth it.
Does it have a fan?
I want to say yes but I can’t remember. That happened so long ago
Hey Stefano, thanks for showing this unit. I normally use APC gear but decided to give this one a try and I'll have it in Tuesday so it was nice to get a little preview.
Small pro-tip for next time, which you may know, but a standard rack unit (U) is three of the square holes. By starting at hole 3 (top hole of first unit) instead of hole 4 (bottom of second unit) you'll eventually have lost TWO units of rack space IF you fill the rack to the top. Totally not an issue for a home rig but something to consider even in a home rack if it's small in size or dense with gear. This is one reason I favor rack rails that are numbered for each U so it's easy to spot front and back what unit I'm in and then also to make sure I always optimize my units.
Also, nice recovery at 2:52 on getting those cage nuts in with the nut inside the rack. :) I'm curious, did Cyberpower only include 3 or did the dog sneak by and slurp up the fourth?
I normally want to buy APC but cyberpower is always on sale. I've had both in the workplace and seen no real difference in quality. I think you will be happy with it especially for the price.
I literally just learned/made the connection that 1u is 3 holes. I think I figured where to start with the holes a bit too late but you are hella right. I'm just glad I have a baby rack. I really really wish the rack was numbered. I've been spoiled for so long!
Hahaha, I don't even know why those two cage nuts were backwards. I'm pretty sure I had some grand plan but changed my mind. I'm pretty sure the dog is eating my screws, cage nuts, bolts, etc. Things keep disappearing. But for this video I think I decided not to use what came with ups and ended up using different cage nuts all together.
Thanks for watching and good eye/s!
Do you know if I have 3 switches with 48 ports in a rack then do I need 1 ups for every switch? thank you
Depends on the VA of the UPS and uptime you are looking for. Typically, 1 UPS is fine.
"It comes with mounting brackets..."
Thank you! Cyber power themselves doesn't tell you this and all the marketing material doesn't show or tell you that it comes with these much needed brackets. Lol.
Now that I know it does... I am buying one. Cyberpower owes you money for landing them this sale.
Sweet, glad it helped. Nowadays I just use it for my network equipment. I’ve never had a problem with it to date. Enjoy!
@@SPXLabs That's exactly what I am getting it for as well. My networking equipment.
Thanks again.
Have you found a way to keep the front panel display on and keep it from going to sleep?
I have not
@@SPXLabs I contacted Cyberpower as I am considering a rack mount UPS myself and they informed me that one can press and hold the LCD button beneath the power button for 3 seconds and there should be an option that appears that indicates LCD ON / OFF . Selecting ON should allow the LCD to remain on. Just thought I would pass the information along. Can you let me know if this works?
I haven’t owned that UPS in years
@@SPXLabs Oh, LOL.
lol yeah… it happens more than you think. Sorry I can’t be useful
Hey, what server rack is that?
Yeah what is that
iStarUSA 15u rack. It’s not available anymore.
Why would you replace a 900w UPS with a 400w when space is not an issue?
In the long run I wanted all rack mount stuff.
Would this work if you plugged it into a power conditioner?
Dead Detail Entertainment the documentation doesn’t mention that in particular, however it will probably be safe so long as the power conditioner provides the proper amperage and voltage. However, the documentation explicitly says not to use extension cables which typically do not regulate power. This ups is able to “condition” power on its own and does not need a conditioner itself. Personally, I would just plug mine into a PDU or straight to the wall.
No need to plug it into a power conditioner as it IS a power conditioner.
thanks for this video.Its sad,manafacturer didnt do that
Peter P no problem. Thanks for watching.
wow only 175 watts per server nice
no, the important question is not the UPS noise. The question is the short 12 min ups time which is horrible. Put your other UPSs back.
email16v haha right!!! I did end up switch back to my other UPS. Only the networking equipment and monitor are on the UPS featured in this video.
Meh, line interactive, not double conversion (online)
$200 vs $530 either way most servers wont go down in the milliseconds the UPS takes to kick over to battery esp on a home network where its far from critical.
@@derekb7260 You'd think that... but it happens. Hell, it even happens on double conversion but it's not supposed to.
Awww the conversations are finally starting in the comments. Yay!
You lose redundancy that way. If you have one ups, then you connect one PSU behind that one and the other one just normally to wall socket. Better if you have two UPS and they are behind of those ones. But newer both behind the same one. Now when your UPS get broken you server will shutdown. If you have them one in UPS and one live, then it doesnt matter if electricity goes down or UPS gets broken your server still runs.
But have to say this is maybe most common mistake that you can see in server rooms.
I did end up switching to a 2 ups system with one psu in each ups. However, as of writing today, I’m back to a single UPS. I’m waiting for another sale to buy a second Eaton PSU.
Even one UPS is ok, but just remember to only connect another PSU behind that one. Good idea is to connect that another one behind surge protector thou
Yes sir indeed! Thank you thank you.
Any videos on your Eaton UPS?
Yes but not very good. Since I don’t do reviews it’s not informative. Channel is more of a vlog than anything.
Eaton 5PX 1500RT 2U UPS th-cam.com/video/YZlP9gNkbxo/w-d-xo.html
You really need to get a wireless mic. for your youtube videos
That video is from the channels early days so back then I didn’t have squat. But I have a couple now.
This video should have stopped the SECOND you saw that new U-PEE-S had a runtime of 12 min compared to 30-40 min from your other.
Could you expand on why it should have stopped at that moment? I understand it is U Pee S, I've explained before I say upsss because I think it's funny, mentioned it in a previous video as well as a few comments. Thank you for looking out though!
I think he wanted a rack mount
did you study the specs of the UPS you had vs the one you installed in this video???? buahahahahahahah
Study is a strong word. It was more of “ehhh, it’s cheap and rack mountable, lets go!”, kind of thing. Now that the rack has matured a bit more, it’s absolutely perfect. Learning as I go, no regerts!
@@SPXLabs it was weird to see you swapped a devices that produce simulated sine waves to the ones that give true sine wave
It’s a bit odd I suppose, thankfully I don’t think the servers care too much about the quality of power. Stepped should be good enough. I think?
Ups lol 🤣
YOU, PEE, ESS honey
59dB is not loud ? are you on crack dude? for a 700 vA, it's horribly loud.
Well, after years of listening to servers it’s not that bad. I hardly notice the noise now. But that’s just me. Also, I may or may not have dabbled with the cocaîna.
@@SPXLabs if you want the best UPS from CP, check the PR1500ERT2U... it's a line interactive, mostly quiet unless on batteries and has a power factor of 1. Short depth as well. I have a server rack in my bedroom closet, everything is as quiet as 25 dB.
Oh rats... you are about 2 years too late. I ended up with a EATON UPS that I got for $250 bucks...
@@SPXLabs Well... two years ago you ditched a PCF pure sinewave 900W UPS for a simulated sinewave one. Probably the dumbest idea ever even for a home lab. Most power supply since 2011 will shutdown during power transfer to batteries due to the power correction factor. ( iMacs, cisco switch etc. )..... Obviously not the right choice back in time. Anyway enjoy your EATON but just don't recommend it to anyone over Cyberpower. lol
Haha yeah, decisions were made. That’s interesting, I’ve never experienced or heard of that happening before, glad you mentioned it. Ill keep it in mind for the future. Don’t worry, cyberpower is still my go to. Saving money for a second one UPS. Eye balling cyberpower currently.
"1U"... it's "1 RU". Also it's "You Pee Ess", not ups. Don't try and be cute.
He doesn't have to try to be cute... Have u seen that face?
