Overview

Not a bare bones rack UPS, this APC unit adds a SmartSlot for a network management card in a short rack chassis. SmartConnect cloud monitoring and automatic voltage regulation are built in.

Server rooms running virtual hosts get network card shutdown in a slim rack unit. The card is a separate purchase, and installation needs two people given the weight.

Who it's for

Businesses with servers, storage or hyperconverged clusters in a rack will use the SmartSlot. Home users with one PC need far less.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • SmartSlot for network card
  • Pure sine wave output
  • Slim rack chassis
  • Automatic voltage regulation
Cons
  • Heavy to lift into a rack
  • Network card sold separately
  • Runtime figure gives no load

Performance notes

Runtime depends on the connected load, and the listing figure gives none. The SmartSlot card allows orderly shutdown of virtual machines and clusters over the network. Voltage regulation saves the battery for real outages.
