APC Smart-UPS, Line Interactive, 2200VA, Rackmount 2U, 120V, 6x NEMA 5-15R+2x NEMA 5-20R outlets, SmartSlot, AVR, LCD, W/L5-20P

Designed for IT professionals and network administrators, the APC Smart-UPS 2200VA Line-Interactive Rackmount UPS delivers reliable, clean power when the grid falters. This 2U rack-mount unit provides true sine wave output and Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) to protect servers, switches, storage devices, and other critical equipment from power disturbances. With an input of 120V via NEMA L5-20P and a robust 2200 VA/1980 W capacity, it offers ample headroom for common data center and office IT stacks while keeping downtime to a minimum. A front-panel LCD keeps you informed with real-time status, load levels, battery charge, and run-time estimates, enabling proactive management. The SmartSlot enables easy expansion with a Network Management Card for remote monitoring and graceful shutdowns, making this UPS a versatile cornerstone of any enterprise-grade power strategy.

• 2200 VA / 1980 W capacity provides ample headroom to protect multiple servers, switches, storage devices, and network gear during outages, brownouts, and power spikes, reducing data loss and unplanned downtime.
• Line-interactive topology with Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) maintains safe voltage levels to connected equipment, minimizing battery wear and preserving critical runtime for essential devices.
• Eight outlets in total: 6 x NEMA 5-15R and 2 x NEMA 5-20R, offering flexible distribution for mixed devices while delivering reliable battery-backed protection where it matters most.
• Intuitive front LCD panel displays real-time load, input/output voltage, battery status, and estimated runtime, along with event logs to simplify monitoring, setup, and ongoing maintenance.
• SmartSlot supports an optional Network Management Card for remote monitoring, SNMP integration, and centralized shutdown orchestration through APC software and compatible management tools.

How to install APC Smart-UPS

• Choose a stable, well-ventilated rack space and verify the 2U-height clearance in your 19" rack; use the included rack ears to mount the UPS securely.
• Mount the UPS in the rack so the front LCD panel remains easily visible for quick status checks and diagnostics.
• Distribute protected devices across the outlets: connect critical servers and storage to the battery-backed outlets and place less-critical equipment on surge-only outlets if available.
• Connect the UPS input cord to a dedicated 120V power source using the NEMA L5-20P connector; avoid daisy-chaining the UPS to another power source or UPS.
• Power on the unit and follow on-screen prompts on the LCD to configure basic settings (language, time, network management card if installed) and run a battery test when appropriate.
• If remote management is desired, insert a Network Management Card into the SmartSlot and configure it through APC software or compatible network management tools to monitor status and perform graceful shutdowns.
• Perform a brief runtime and load test to validate proper operation before deploying to production, ensuring all critical devices remain protected during actual power events.
