Product Features
Product Overview
The APC Smart-UPS 3000VA LCD RM 2U 120V with Network Card is a line-interactive UPS engineered for demanding server rooms, network closets, and critical business infrastructure. This 2.88 kVA/2.70 kW unit delivers reliable battery backup and power conditioning with pure sine wave output, ensuring compatibility with sensitive server and networking equipment. Its line-interactive topology with automatic voltage regulation (AVR) corrects under-voltage and over-voltage conditions without switching to battery power, extending runtime during brownouts and protecting connected devices from damaging voltage fluctuations.
Featuring a 2U rackmount form factor with tower conversion capability, this UPS integrates seamlessly into standard 19-inch server racks while offering deployment flexibility for environments where floor space is limited. The preinstalled network management card enables remote monitoring, configuration, and graceful shutdown capabilities across physical servers, virtual machines, and hyper-converged infrastructure clusters. With eight outlets configured as six NEMA 5-15R and two NEMA 5-20R receptacles, the unit supports a mix of standard 15-amp and higher-capacity 20-amp equipment, providing versatile connectivity for rack-mounted servers, storage arrays, network switches, and other critical devices.
Technical Overview
This Smart-UPS employs line-interactive topology with automatic voltage regulation, providing efficient power conditioning while extending battery life. The 8 ms transfer time ensures minimal disruption during power events, maintaining continuous operation for connected equipment. Electrical specifications include 120 V AC input and output voltage, single-phase operation, and pure sine wave output that matches utility power quality, ensuring compatibility with sensitive electronic equipment including servers with active power factor correction (PFC) power supplies.
The unit delivers 2.88 kVA apparent power and 2.70 kW real power capacity, with a surge energy rating of 459 joules for protection against voltage spikes. Power connectivity features a NEMA L5-30P plug and eight total outlets (six NEMA 5-15R and two NEMA 5-20R) for flexible equipment connections. Battery specifications include lead acid chemistry with a typical recharge time of three hours, supported by comprehensive surge protection and voltage regulation capabilities that maintain stable power delivery across varying utility conditions.
