APC by Schneider Electric AP9604BLK Concise Descriptor

Overview

The APC Smartslot AP9604BLK is a triple chassis designed to expand the management capabilities of compatible APC Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS). This accessory allows you to install up to three Network Management Cards or other SmartSlot accessories into a single UPS, consolidating monitoring and control points. It's particularly useful in environments where a single UPS needs to manage multiple network devices or communicate with various building management systems, streamlining IT infrastructure oversight.

Compatibility

This AP9604BLK chassis is designed for use with APC Smart-UPS and select Symmetra UPS models that feature the SmartSlot interface. It directly supports the installation of APC's Network Management Cards (NMCs) such as the AP9630, AP9631, AP9640, and AP9641 series, enabling remote monitoring, alerting, and control over Ethernet. It also accommodates other SmartSlot accessories like environmental monitoring probes or relay output cards, provided the UPS chassis has sufficient physical space and power.

Installation Notes

Installation involves sliding the AP9604BLK chassis into an available SmartSlot on a compatible APC UPS. Once seated, the three individual SmartSlot bays within the chassis are ready to accept the desired management cards or accessories. Ensure the UPS is powered off before installation to prevent electrical hazards. Refer to the UPS and management card documentation for specific wiring and configuration steps after physical installation.
