Product Features
Product Overview
The APC Smart-UPS SMT3000RM2UC is a 3000VA line-interactive UPS engineered for rackmount deployment in server rooms, network closets, and data center environments. This 2U unit delivers reliable battery backup and power conditioning for critical IT infrastructure, supporting loads up to 2700 watts with pure sine wave output. Its design focuses on maintaining uptime for servers, storage arrays, and networking equipment during power disturbances.
Featuring Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), this UPS corrects minor utility voltage fluctuations without switching to battery power, extending battery life and ensuring consistent power quality. The integrated LCD provides clear status information for at-a-glance monitoring, while SmartConnect enables cloud-based remote management without additional network management cards. This combination of features makes it a robust solution for protecting sensitive electronics from power anomalies.
With eight NEMA outlets—six 5-15R and two 5-20R—the unit offers flexible connectivity for various devices, all backed by surge protection. The hot-swappable battery design allows for maintenance without downtime, and the included PowerChute Serial Edition software supports graceful shutdowns during extended outages. These elements work together to provide comprehensive power protection in demanding IT environments.
Technical Overview
This Smart-UPS employs line-interactive topology with a transfer time of 10 milliseconds, ensuring seamless transition to battery power during outages. The input voltage range of 75-154V AC allows operation in varying power conditions, while the output delivers stable 120V AC pure sine wave power compatible with sensitive server and networking equipment. This technical foundation ensures reliable performance in environments with fluctuating utility power.
The unit features eight NEMA outlets with surge protection: six 5-15R and two 5-20R receptacles, providing flexible device connectivity for mixed equipment loads. Battery management includes hot-swappable capability for maintenance without downtime, with a typical recharge time of three hours. The surge energy rating of 459 joules offers additional protection against power spikes, safeguarding connected devices from transient voltage events.
Network management is handled through the built-in SmartConnect Ethernet port, enabling cloud-based monitoring without additional hardware. This allows IT administrators to receive alerts, check status, and manage the UPS remotely via web interface or mobile app. Combined with the Energy Star certification and RoHS compliance, these technical specifications make the UPS a sustainable and manageable choice for modern data centers.
