Damn, hit <send>, and forgot to ask: feel free to answer offlist, but what make and model are the 7KVAs, and what ballpark price were they?
We need
two of something like that (at least 6KVA) for the SGI supercomputer....
they are HP R7000, made by Eaton. 4U 7KVA rackmount. they need 208 40A(?) service. ethernet interface is standard. They support up to 4 extended runtime modules (4U each). at 80% usage, HP claims 6 minutes with the base unit and 57 minutes with 4 ERM's (3U each).
Thanks, muchly. I keep hoping to be closer to $3k than $5k (we're a US federal agency, non-DoD, and our budget has been negative for years...).
These things are 165 lbs, they were a gut buster to load into the racks, heh. after the 1st one, I removed the batteries from the other 3, and it was way easier. They use 18 12V 45W UPS batteries, in two packs of 9 each.
I take the sled out when I mount a SmartUPS 3000 - that's about 43lbs of batteries, and about the same of the unit. For what you've got... I go over to the data center and borrow The Answer: a Blue Genie http://vistamation.com/products/lifts/hand-winch-lift-trucks/ Let me tell you, you need to rack or unrack a blade enclosure, or a RAID box....
