APC by Schneider Electric SMX1500RMUS Uninterruptible Power Supply

Overview

The APC Smart-UPS X 1500VA Rack/Tower LCD 120V TAA - SMX1500RMUS is a line-interactive Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) designed to provide clean, reliable power and battery backup for sensitive electronic equipment. It solves the problem of unexpected power outages, sags, and surges that can corrupt data, damage hardware, or cause downtime in critical systems. This unit's convertible rack/tower form factor makes it suitable for deployment in standard server racks or on a desktop/shelf in IT closets or network operation centers.

Compatibility

This UPS is designed to protect a range of IT and networking equipment, including servers, switches, routers, and workstations. It is particularly suited for environments requiring TAA-compliant equipment. While not specific to a single brand of IT hardware, its 1500VA/900W capacity is ideal for supporting multiple devices or a single high-draw server for a limited duration during power interruptions. Consider its output capacity when selecting connected equipment.

Installation Notes

The SMX1500RMUS features a convertible rack/tower design. For rack mounting, it requires standard 19-inch rack rails (not included). The unit accepts standard NEMA 5-15P input power and provides NEMA 5-15R outlets for connected equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit to prevent overheating, as it generates heat during operation and battery charging. The LCD interface provides status updates and allows for configuration adjustments.
