The battery system uses spill-proof, lead-acid chemistry and typically recharges within three hours after use. Connectivity includes a USB port for management and an 8-foot NEMA L5-30P input cord. The rack-mount design includes support rails and hardware for secure installation in standard 19-inch racks.
This section brings together practical product details such as Plug/Connector Type, Receptacle Type, Receptacle Detail, Load Capacity (VA), so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
The SMT3000RMUS balances high-capacity power protection with rack-optimized design, making it a reliable choice for IT infrastructure. Its sine wave output ensures safe operation for active PFC power supplies found in modern servers and networking equipment, while AVR technology reduces unnecessary battery cycles.
Pure Sine Wave Output
Delivers clean, stable AC power compatible with sensitive electronics, preventing potential damage or instability from simulated sine wave alternatives.
Automatic Voltage Regulation
Corrects under-voltage and over-voltage conditions without draining the battery, improving efficiency and extending battery lifespan during minor grid fluctuations.
Hot-Swappable Battery
Allows battery replacement without powering down connected equipment, minimizing downtime and simplifying maintenance in critical environments.
Deployment / Use Cases
This UPS is tailored for environments where rack space is at a premium and reliable power backup is non-negotiable. Its 2U form factor and 2.88 kVA capacity make it suitable for consolidating protection for multiple devices within a single rack unit.
Common deployments include server racks housing blade servers or storage arrays, network closets with switches and routers, and retail POS systems requiring uninterrupted operation. The included PowerChute software enables automated shutdown sequences for servers, ensuring data integrity during extended outages.
Server and Data Center Racks
Protects critical server hardware, storage devices, and network infrastructure from power disturbances and outages, supporting business continuity.
Network and VoIP Closets
Provides backup power for switches, routers, and VoIP equipment, maintaining network connectivity and communication during power events.
Physical Profile
The UPS features a black, rack-mountable chassis measuring 3.39 inches in height, 18.90 inches in width, and 26.89 inches in depth, occupying 2U of vertical rack space. It weighs approximately 97.62 pounds, requiring proper rack support and handling during installation.
