Specifications
Multiple server support
A single UPS and software should accommodate multiple servers and multiple operating systems. With
multiple server support, a unit will be compatible even if the network configuration changes.
Network grade line conditioning
Full-time EMI/RFI filters prevent line noise from causing data errors.
Network Management Module
Built-in network capabilities available on the IBM UPS3000X, this feature takes the place of optional smart
cards used on other UPS models. The module allows remote management and monitoring of the UPS
itself plus attached servers.
QuickSwap™
QuickSwap is defined as a user-friendly, hot-swappable battery replacement system. It saves the time and
expense of returning the UPS to the factory for battery service and allows safe and easy replacement of
batteries while attached devices are up and running. Replacement battery kits ship in a reusable box for
convenient return of exhausted batteries to a recycling center or to APC.
Reboot
A reset of a computer that is manually initiated or occurs due to a software crash or due to a power sag or
surge. A reboot causes all the current work that was in process to be lost.
Redundant
An intentional repetition of a given function—usually intended to improve reliability.
Redundant switch
The redundant switch continuously monitors two AC circuits and automatically switches from the primary
to the redundant power source, increasing overall system availability.
RFI (radio frequency interference)
This is electrical noise which is present in communications or computing equipment which results from
some parts of the equipment or attached wiring acting as a radio antenna.
Site wiring fault indicator
Alerts users to potential problems, such as a missing ground and reversed polarity, two common wiring
mistakes that usually require an electrician to diagnose.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol that allows the management of networks that today is
mainly used for managing TCP/IP networks.
Surge suppressor
A surge suppressor is a device used to protect equipment from transient over-voltages present on AC
power, data or telephone circuits. The suppressor may operate by absorbing the surge, by blocking the
surge from flowing or by a combination of the two.
Transient
A transient is a momentary variation that ultimately disappears. Most power problems are transient.
VA (Volt-Amps)
Volt-Amps is a form of power measurement. A VA rating is the Volts rating multiplied by the Amps
(current) rating. The VA rating can be used to indicate the output capacity of a UPS or other power source
or it can be used to indicate the input power requirement of a computer or other AC load.
Watts
This is a form of power measurement. For AC power systems, the Watts rating is the Volts rating
multiplied by the Amps rating multiplied by the Power Factor. Watts represent actual delivered energy.
