The APC Smart-UPS SMT3000RMI2UNC is a rack-mountable uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in 2U format, designed for use in IT infrastructures, server rooms, and network environments. It offers an output capacity of 3 kVA and an output power of 2700 W, with an output voltage of 230 V. The UPS operates using the Line-Interactive topology, enabling efficient power supply with low energy consumption during mains operation. In the event of a power failure, it switches to battery operation within 4 ms, delivering output power in the form of a pure sine wave, which is required for sensitive IT and network equipment.
Applications
The UPS is designed for use in medium to large IT environments where continuous power supply for servers, network switches, routers, and other critical devices is necessary. The rack-mounting in 2U format makes it ideal for standard 19-inch racks. The integrated web-based management enables remote monitoring and control over the network, ensuring operational continuity even from a distance.
Features and Equipment in Detail
The SMT3000RMI2UNC features a total of 9 AC outlets: eight C13 connectors and one C19 connector, suitable for powering various IT devices. The input is via a C20 connector, with the supplied input cable having a length of 2 m. The UPS is equipped with an LCD display and LED indicators showing the operating status, battery charge level, and any faults. An integrated automatic battery test regularly checks battery function to detect wear or defects early.
Technology Explained Simply
The Line-Interactive topology operates directly from the mains in normal operation, with voltage regulated via a transformer. In case of voltage fluctuations or power failure, the UPS automatically switches to internal battery power. The pure sine wave ensures sensitive devices such as servers or network equipment can operate without interruptions. The response time of 4 ms is critical to avoid data loss or system crashes. The battery technology is based on sealed lead-acid batteries (VRLA), offering high reliability and long service life. The battery capacity is 547 Ah, and the battery recharge time is 3 hours. The hot-swap function allows battery replacement without interrupting power supply.
Compatibility and Accessories
The UPS comes pre-installed with a network management card (AP9641), enabling remote monitoring via SNMP and web browser. The software PowerChute Network Shutdown supports controlled shutdown of physical servers, virtual machines, and HCI clusters to prevent data loss. The UPS is compatible with EcoStruxure IT and other centralized management platforms. As an accessory, the replacement battery cartridge RBC43 is available, suitable for the SUA2200RMI2U and SUA3000RMI2U. Other compatible UPS models include the Effekta MTD RT Lineinteractive UPS, the PR3000ERT2UC and PR3000ERTXL2UC, as well as the All930019RT.
Mounting and Installation
The UPS is designed for mounting in a 19-inch rack and is supplied with a rack mounting kit. Installation is carried out using the designated mounting rails. The supplied input cable is country-specific and detachable, enabling flexible use in different regions. Installation is supported by a quick installation guide.
Operational Advantages
The UPS provides overvoltage protection against lightning strikes, voltage sags, and power failures. The automatic restart function ensures connected devices are automatically powered back on after a power failure. Audible alarms inform the user of critical conditions such as battery replacement. The pressure rise protection function protects the UPS against overloads. The operating temperature ranges from 0 to 40 °C, and the UPS can be operated up to an altitude of 3000 m. The noise level is 55 dB, which is acceptable for rack applications.
Certifications and Sustainability
The UPS complies with standards EN/IEC 62040-1 and EN/IEC 62040-2, which regulate safety and performance of UPS systems. It also meets certifications CE, EAC, GS Mark, IRAM, RCM, VDE, and WEEE. RoHS compliance ensures no harmful substances are used. The product carries the Green Premium certification, indicating sustainable production and packaging practices. The total weight is 44.2 kg, and the dimensions are 480 mm (width) × 683 mm (depth) × 86 mm (height). The delivery includes the rack mounting kit, input cable, USB cable, network management card, and quick installation guide. A resource CD is also included.
The APC Smart-UPS SMT3000RMI2UNC is thus a powerful, reliable, and maintenance-friendly solution for professional use in IT infrastructures requiring continuous power supply and high operational safety.
