Product Features
Product Overview
The APC Smart-UPS X SMX3000RMLV2U is a line-interactive UPS delivering 3000VA/2880VA of power protection for critical server, storage, and networking environments. With pure sine wave output and 2.88 kVA/2.70 kW capacity, it maintains clean power quality while providing sufficient runtime for orderly shutdowns during extended outages. The unit's 120V input/output compatibility and seven NEMA outlets support mixed equipment loads, making it a versatile solution for diverse IT infrastructure.
Designed for flexible deployment, this UPS converts between 2U rack-mount and tower configurations using included rails and removable feet. Its hot-swappable batteries allow maintenance without interrupting connected devices, while the user-selectable low voltage setting from 100V to 127V adapts to varying power quality conditions. The included PowerChute Serial Edition software enables graceful shutdowns through both serial and USB interfaces, ensuring data integrity during power events.
Automatic Voltage Regulation maintains output within acceptable levels without switching to battery power during minor voltage fluctuations, extending battery life and reducing wear. The maintenance-free, sealed lead-acid batteries provide 6 minutes of runtime at full load and 18 minutes at half load, with support for up to ten external battery packs for extended runtime requirements. This combination of capacity, flexibility, and management features makes the Smart-UPS X suitable for commercial applications where reliable power protection is essential.
Technical Overview
This line-interactive UPS employs advanced power conditioning to maintain stable output voltage within acceptable levels without switching to battery power during minor voltage fluctuations. The pure sine wave output ensures compatibility with sensitive active PFC power supplies found in modern servers, storage arrays, and networking gear, preventing compatibility issues that can occur with simulated sine wave outputs. Communication capabilities include both serial and USB interfaces for integration with PowerChute Serial Edition software, enabling monitoring, configuration, and graceful shutdowns of connected systems during extended power outages.
The maintenance-free, sealed lead-acid batteries are hot-swappable, allowing replacement without interrupting power to connected equipment. Typical recharge time is 3 hours, and the system supports up to ten external battery packs (model SMX120RMBP2U) for extended runtime requirements. With 540 joules of surge energy rating and 4ms transfer time, the UPS provides robust protection against power disturbances while maintaining continuous operation during brief outages or voltage sags.
Power distribution features include seven NEMA outlets: one L5-30R (30-amp twist-lock), three 5-15R (standard 15-amp), and three 5-20R (20-amp with T-slot). This mix accommodates different equipment plug types and power requirements within the total 15A input current capacity. The 8-foot input cord provides installation flexibility, while the black chassis measures 3.35" high (2U), 17.01" wide, and 26.26" deep for standard 19-inch rack compatibility.
