Network Card

The Eaton Gigabit Network Card (Network-M2) is Eaton’s latest UPS connectivity device that delivers IT professionals with new and exciting capabilities and features. With faster speed and enhanced cybersecurity, the Gigabit Network Card improves power system reliability by providing warnings of pending issues to administrators and helping to perform an orderly graceful shutdown of servers and storage. The new network card works with Intelligent Power Manager (IPM) v1.61 to improve business continuity by triggering policies configured to keep mission-critical applications running in the event of a power or environmental anomalies, including virtual machine relocation or automated disaster recovery action.

Monitoring probe

Eaton is also offering a new Environmental Monitoring Probe (EMP) Gen 2 (EMPDT1H1C2), a second-generation environmental monitoring probe for the Gigabit Network Card. The new EMP maintains all the functionality of the previous generation of sensors (temperature, humidity and dry-contact monitoring) while adding the ability to be daisy-chained (up to 3 per host), allowing multiple sensor connection to a single host. This enhances the richness of rack-level environmental data for the top, middle and bottom of the rack. Temperature, humidity, and contact status can be viewed with a Web browser through the Network user interface. Hot-swap feature simplifies installation to enable you to install the probe without turning off the power to the device or to the loads that are connected to it.

The EMP monitors the status of the two user-provided contact devices and can be located 50m from the network card using a standard CAT5 network cable. Finally, the probe is delivered with a screw and screw anchor, nylon fasteners, tie wraps, and magnets.
