APC by Schneider Electric SYAFSU13 Symmetra LX Frame Electronics Module
Overview
The SYAFSU13 is the frame electronics module for APC Symmetra LX UPS systems operating at 200/208V. This module houses the core control and power-management electronics that make the Symmetra LX frame functional — without it, the chassis cannot manage power distribution, battery communication, or system monitoring. It occupies a 3.5U slot (3.5" H × 17" W × 22" D) and weighs 27.25 lb, so plan for proper rail support in the rack before installation. RoHS compliance means it meets hazardous-substance restrictions required in most enterprise and government procurement environments.
Compatibility
The SYAFSU13 is designed specifically for the APC by Schneider Electric Symmetra LX UPS frame series at 200/208V. It is not interchangeable with Symmetra PX, Symmetra LX at other voltage ratings, or any other APC UPS family. Before ordering, confirm your Symmetra LX frame's voltage rating matches 200/208V — installing a mismatched electronics module in a UPS system can prevent the frame from initializing entirely. Consult your Symmetra LX frame documentation or the chassis nameplate to verify compatibility before procurement.
Installation Notes
The SYAFSU13 slides into the designated electronics module bay in the Symmetra LX frame. At 27.25 lb, two-person installation is advisable to avoid torquing the bay guides. Ensure the frame is de-energized and properly grounded before inserting or removing this module — hot-swap capability depends on the specific Symmetra LX frame configuration, so verify in your frame's service manual before attempting live insertion. The 22" depth requires a rack with sufficient clearance behind the mounting plane; measure usable rack depth before installation.
