Uninterruptible Power Supply CYBERPOWER CP500EIPFCRM1U 500VA 1U rackmount

CYBERPOWER CP500EIPFCRM1U is a 500VA uninterruptible power supply designed in a 1U rackmount chassis to provide temporary battery backup and basic power conditioning for small servers, networking gear and telecom equipment. The unit fits standard server racks and compact IT closets, offering automatic switching to battery during mains interruptions and protection against voltage sags, surges and spikes to reduce the risk of data loss and hardware damage.

Advantages

The CP500EIPFCRM1U combines a compact 1U form factor with 500VA capacity to deliver rack-friendly backup without occupying excessive space. Integrated power conditioning improves power quality for connected devices while the automatic transfer to battery ensures uninterrupted operation for short-duration outages. The design supports simple integration into existing rack systems and provides basic outlet protection suited to small office and edge deployments.

Suitable for

• Small servers and single-node computing devices in rack environments
• Network switches, routers and firewall appliances in small IT closets
• VoIP gateways, PBX and telecom endpoints that require short-term backup
• Edge devices and storage units with moderate power demands

Key specifications

• Output capacity: 500VA (approximate real power suitable for light server and networking loads)
• Form factor: 1U rackmount for standard 19-inch racks
• Output waveform: simulated sine wave suitable for many network and low-power server devices
• Battery backup: provides short-duration runtime to allow graceful shutdown or brief operation during outages
• Protection features: voltage regulation, surge and spike suppression, and automatic transfer to battery
• Connections: multiple protected outlets (rear-mounted) for network and server peripherals

How to use

Mount the UPS in a compatible 1U space within a standard 19-inch rack using the supplied mounting hardware or appropriate rack shelf. Connect critical equipment to the protected outlets and plug the UPS into a reliable AC supply. Allow the internal battery to charge fully before relying on battery runtime. In the event of mains interruption, the UPS will switch to battery power automatically; use the connected equipment’s shutdown procedures or management interfaces to perform an orderly shutdown if the outage persists beyond the UPS runtime.

Usage recommendations

Place the CP500EIPFCRM1U in a ventilated rack position away from heat sources and excessive dust. Do not overload the unit beyond its rated capacity—calculate combined load of connected devices to ensure adequate runtime. Test battery operation periodically and replace the battery according to manufacturer guidance or when runtime degrades significantly. For systems requiring extended runtime or pure sine wave output, consider higher-capacity or online UPS options.
