Both are excellent, This is my review of the 5SC.<\/p>\n Eaton 5SC 500i Review<\/p>\n The hardware<\/p>\n The review unit is an Eaton 5SC 500i UPS with a rating of 500VA or 350W. This is the entry level 5SC unit with others in the range going up to 1500VA (1050W). The 500i has 1 IEC C14 input socket and 4 IEC C13 output sockets on its rear and communicates to a host machine by USB or RS232. Its physical dimensions are miniscule at 210x150x240mm (HxWxD). To give you an idea of its scale it’s about 2/3rds the size of an HP MicroServer (see pic) so in my small office it doesn’t look out of place and can be tucked away neatly. It also has a nice LCD panel on its front giving you a readout of the key performance parameters of the UPS like percentage load, load in Watts or VA and approximate battery runtime at current load. A minor irritation is that the LCD backlight turns off after 3 minutes and there is no option for it to remain lit. So if you want to take a peek at the stats and the unit is further than arm’s length away you need to first press a button for it to turn on the backlight.<\/p>\n The software<\/p>\n The Eaton UPS communicates with the Eaton Intelligent Power Management software which can be installed on Windows, Linux or MacOS. The installation is straight forward and the software is managed through a web browser. The software gives detailed information about your UPS and gives access to control its settings and what to do when certain conditions are met (e.g. Power loss, bad battery etc.) Performance<\/p>\n I’m running a Windows 7 Core i5 machine, an HP Proliant N36L Microserver and a Fujitsu Siemens RX100 S5 rack mount server from the UPS. The two servers run vSphere 5.1 and 2 or 3 VM’s apiece. Under light loads the UPS is sitting at about 65-70% utilisation with a reported run time of 7mins 48s. This means that the 3 devices are adequately protected under light load conditions. However, as soon as I ramp up the usage in my desktop machine and fire up a game (utilising all quad cores and crossfire graphics cards) the utilisation shoots past 105% and overloads, so it would seem that in my environment, the 750VA or 1000VA model would be a better fit. Anything drawing over 350W of power for more than a few seconds will trigger the overload scenario and the graceful shutdown sequence. Overall<\/p>\n This is an excellent little unit, albeit a little too underpowered for my home lab set-up. The best endorsement I can give it is that at some stage I will upgrade to its bigger 5SC brother and rely upon it to protect not only my desktop and 2 servers, but also my home networking equipment too. 5 out of 5 stars<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5","bestRating":"5","worstRating":"1"},"datePublished":"2013-10-28T10:14:27.000Z","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"tino","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/tino"}},{"@context":"http://schema.org/","@type":"Review","reviewBody":" They makes very good products with cost effective and quality.

They have been through several power outages over the last year, kept me sane keeping equipment alive while WFH, and still reporting perfect health. I’m super happy with the UI of the management interface, gives me all the data I need to monitor health and status. I coupled it with some environmental monitors and have a power solution that actually provides me with some peace of mind and has proved itself to our business operations over the last 15 months. When things went dark for extended periods of time I was able to easily control reboots via the PDU, see consumption on the UPS, and never once had to go to the office to make sure things were back up and running.<\/p>\n Check out my full post for a story: https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2300706-finally-don-t-have-power-issues?from_forum=428<\/a><\/p>\n 5 out of 5 stars<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5","bestRating":"5","worstRating":"1"},"datePublished":"2021-07-30T02:02:17.000Z","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"GeekBrownBear","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/GeekBrownBear"}}],"image":"https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/spiceworks/original/4X/a/0/c/a0c45fe83bf7e727958b687cd31c14e6ef99f378.png"}

\nI found the configuration of the software was fairly straightforward, however there is very little information in the documentation about some of the advanced things you can do with scripting to control what happens when certain conditions are encountered. Since my home network contains 2 small ESXi servers for my virtual labs (running vSphere 5.1 free edition) I wanted to run an SSH login and script to initiate a graceful shutdown of my VM’s and hosts as well as my connected Win 7 physical desktop machine, but I couldn’t find any examples that I could understand at least to give me a leg up on that one. Thankfully, I did figure out the problem with what I wanted to do (permissions on the script) and found a way to do what I wanted. This involved creating a scheduled task which triggers a batch file. Don’t worry there will be a How To on the Spiceworks community detailing it!<\/p>\n
\nTurning off the more powerful of the two servers allows gaming on the desktop without pushing the utilisation threshold, and since that server holds mainly virtual labs for testing software and services this is something that I can live with.<\/p>\n
