What is tower UPS?

The Uninterruptible power supply system in tower design that features a quick-access front panel that makes replacing batteries easy is known as Tower UPS. It should be the most well-understood type of server structure, because its shape and structure are similar to those of vertical PCs. Of course, due to the server's motherboard scalability and the number of slots. Therefore, the size of the mainframe is larger than that of the ordinary motherboard. Therefore, the mainframe chassis of the tower UPS is larger than the standard ATX chassis. Generally, sufficient internal space is reserved for future redundancy expansion of the hard disk and the power supply.

What is the difference between a rack UPS and a tower UPS?

In fact, there is no difference in performance between rack UPS and tower UPS. The biggest difference is the installation method.

The rack UPS is installed on a standard rack and is structured like a server. The tower UPS is placed separately, installed on the floor and has space requirements. Whether you choose rack or tower depends on the environment and space of your UPS. The rack UPS can be fixed in a standard network cabinet through rails. The tower UPS is generally placed on the ground and cannot be placed on the rack.

How to choose tower UPS and rack UPS?

The UPS placement environment is the key to distinguish between tower UPS and rack UPS. If a neat machine room or a high-environment working group is required, the rack UPS power supply is required. Meanwhile tower UPS can be placed in a harsh climate or environment. Rack UPS can be installed vertically or horizontally as per requirement elsewhere Tower can be installed only vertically. Considering the heat dissipation tower UPS is better in that case as it is larger in size. In short, choosing between tower UPS and rack UPS should be based on their specific needs and budget.

Even though a UPS unit is effectively just a sophisticated battery, there are tons of little features that can greatly enhance your UPS experience.
