These units are designed to operate at a greater than 95% efficiency rating at full load and can increase uptime, with next-generation power protection, while helping reduce operating costs.

These new offerings also provide intuitive power management and monitoring capabilities. The intelligent three-button, dual-color backlight graphical Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) features a bright, easy-to-navigate panel that provides configurability and displays important status information in nine languages - English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Korean, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. Runtime, load troubleshooting, and other vital information are also exhibited. Intelligent power manager supervisory software is also standard to monitor, manage, and to gradually shut down the connected server loads in the event of an extended power interruption.

They also come equipped with a communication bay for installation of an optional Network Management Card (46M4110). The Network Management Card provides convenient over-the-network UPS remote monitoring and management through a standard Web browser. An optional Environmental Monitoring Probe (46M4113) is also available for thermal (temperature and humidity) management requirements.

IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager (AEM) provides an array of new features that allow power and thermal trending analysis for improved power management. By plugging systems into an IBM UPS, AEM is able to collect power information for each device, presenting a more complete view of energy usage within the data center. With access to accurate, detailed information on power usage right at their fingertips, IT and facility managers are now able to manage their data center for optimal energy efficiency, migrating workloads to alleviate hot spots or transferring work from underutilized systems to conserve energy.

The new IBM 5396 UPSs also feature ABM technology, which incorporates sophisticated sensing circuitry and an innovative three-stage charging technique to significantly extend battery service life and optimize recharge time. ABM also provides up to a 60-day notification when a hot-swappable battery is approaching the end of its useful life. Hot-swappable batteries enable maximum uptime, availability, and ease of maintenance.

All 5396 units come equipped with intelligent load segments. These individual receptacle groups can be programmed and controlled allowing mission-critical devices to be prioritized during shutdown to preserve battery runtime.
