Will a 750VA UPS run a server?
A small one briefly, but it is really sized for networking equipment. If a server is in the cabinet, we would normally quote 1500VA.

Overview
The 750VA Smart-UPS is the sensible choice for a comms cabinet — a switch, a firewall and a couple of access points held up long enough for the lights to come back or the servers to shut down.

Small loads that still matter — the edge cabinet, the till network, the CCTV recorder. Around 500W of usable load with proper sine-wave output.
Go 750VA when the cabinet holds networking gear only. Step to 1500VA the moment a server or NAS joins it, or you want more than about fifteen minutes.
| Deployment | Model | Usable load | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smart-UPS 750VA | ~500W | Comms cabinet, small edge rack | |
| Smart-UPS 1500VA | ~1,000W | Switch stack plus small server |
We confirm the load, supply the right chassis for your cabinet and set up alerting if the UPS is somewhere nobody visits.

Whichever fits. The rack version takes cabinet space but keeps everything tidy; the tower is fine where the kit sits on a shelf.
Not on every model in this size. Where longer runtime is needed we usually recommend stepping up a model rather than extending this one.
