W
ith more servers, storage
products, and other mission-
critical networking equipment
becoming rack-based, there’s a
growing need for innovative rack-
mounted power protectors. The
Symmetra RM provides 2-, 4-, or
6-kVA power increments that
provide N+1 redundancy in just 8
or 10U of rack space.
Like the Symmetra, the
Symmetra RM lets multiple power
modules share the power array’s
connected load. All modules run
in parallel and share the load
evenly. If a module fails or is
removed, there’s nothing to worry
about: The Symmetra has one
more module than is necessary
for full-load operation. So you’re
still functioning at full power.
This load-sharing is what’s
known as N+1 redundancy. It
ensures maximum uptime and
continuous availability. The
Bringing all the time-tested advantages
of Symmetra to your rack.
Key Features
SYMMETRA RM
Symmetra RM is the first
rackmount enterprise-level power
protector to offer redundancy.
And you won’t experience any
downtime when you upgrade your
Symmetra RM: hot-swappable
components keep your network
up and running.
To set up your Symmetra
system, choose the Symmetra
model that you need based on
your current VA load and future
expansion needs. All Symmetra
RM units are available with 208-
VAC output. Three units also
feature a stepdown transformer
that converts 208-VAC output into
120-VAC output. This conversion
enables you to power the data
center or rack enclosure from a
single high-powered circuit while
providing UPS-protected 120 VAC
to each piece of equipment. Add
an additional power module for
N+1 redundancy. Choose
additional battery modules for
longer run times if needed; these
hot-swappable modules fit into
any vacant slot in the Symmetra
RM.
To expand your power
capacity, add more power
modules in increments of 2 kVA,
up to a maximum of 6 kVA per
Symmetra RM unit.
If there’s an extended power
outage, included PowerChute
Network Shutdown software
helps you save data and shut
down multiple servers over the
network. In addition, units with up
to 6 kVA are optimized for eight
minutes, allowing you to perform
orderly shutdowns.
And with Symmetra’s menu-
based remote display, power and
UPS information is always
available at the touch of a button.
You can monitor parameters such

as input voltage, temperature,
level of redundancy, and humidity.
The power-factor correction
feature also eliminates power-line
harmonics and neutral overloads
that can cause building wiring to
overheat. Symmetra RM also

Recognize any of these
situations?
• You wait more than 30
minutes to get through to a
vendor’s tech support.
• The so-called “tech” can’t
help you or gives you the
wrong answer.
• You don’t have a purchase
order number and the tech
refuses to help you.
• It’s 9 p. m. and you need help,
but your vendor’s tech
support line is closed.
According to a survey by Data
Communications magazine, 90%
of network managers surveyed
say that getting the technical
support they need is extremely
important when choosing a
vendor. But even though network
managers pay anywhere from 10
to 20% of their overall purchase
price for a basic service and
support contract, the technical
support and service they receive
falls far short of their
expectations—and certainly isn’t
worth what they paid.
At Black Box, we guarantee
the best value and the best
support. You can even consult our
Technical Support Experts before
you buy if you need help selecting
just the right component for your
application.
