APC by Schneider Electric SMARTSLOT EXPANSION CHASSIS - AP9600

APC by Schneider Electric AP9600 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The APC by Schneider Electric AP9600 is a Smart-Slot expansion chassis designed to add additional management card slots to compatible Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems. This unit is crucial for deployments requiring multiple network management cards or environmental monitoring probes simultaneously, expanding the monitoring and control capabilities of a single UPS. It's specifically for environments where granular control over power and environmental conditions is necessary, such as data centers or critical IT infrastructure rooms.

Compatibility

This expansion chassis is compatible with select APC Smart-UPS and Symmetra UPS systems that feature a Smart-Slot interface. It is designed to work with specific models within the APC Symmetra LX and Smart-UPS families, allowing for the integration of additional Network Management Cards (NMCs) or environmental sensors without needing to replace the UPS unit itself. Verify your UPS model's compatibility with the AP9600 before purchase.

Installation Notes

Installation involves physically connecting the AP9600 chassis to the host UPS unit via a proprietary cable (typically included with the chassis or UPS). Once connected, the additional Smart-Slots become available for inserting compatible management cards. Ensure the UPS is powered off before connecting the chassis to prevent potential electrical issues. The chassis itself requires no external power; it draws power from the host UPS.
