Specifications

three essential requirements when choosing power protection for your systems.
Reliability—The UPS design consistently delivers dependable performance through a combination of form,
function, and features. Your hardware is protected and your system life extended through features such
as full-time multi-stage surge suppression and noise filtering, network-grade line conditioning, proac-
tive notification of the unit’s health, and automatic shutdown during extended outages.
Availability—The UPS provides reliable power minimizing downtime. Availability increases
when: the unit can operate through a greater range of input voltage; the batteries are easily
accessible and user-serviceable providing zero downtime; and the unit provides information to
automatically take necessary actions to keep systems available. Availability is increased and
downtime decreased by adding accessories which enhance network performance by: reboot-
ing hung devices; initiating shutdowns in abnormal environmental conditions; and providing
notification of such actions.
Manageability—The UPS’s control and status are available both in-band and out-of-band,
allowing as much or as little control as desired. The degree of Manageability is directly relat-
ed to users’ customized parameters and notifications, through hardware and software features.
Manageability is critical to the overall performance of the network and attached equipment.
Requiring Reliability, Availability and Manageability ensures that your power protection solution
is dependable, accessible and flexible, minimizing downtime, saving time and money, and increasing
overall customer satisfaction.
Reliability
Line-interactive design delivers unmatched performance
and reliability
Innovative line-interactive design uses the DC to AC power inverter “in
reverse,” like a battery charger, during normal operation providing
greater performance and efficiency.
Sine-wave output
APC Smart-UPS sine-wave output provides assurance of compatibility
with all loads.
(Does not apply to SU420NET/SU620NET models)
Network-grade line conditioning prevents glitches
Full time EMI/RFI filters prevent line noise from causing data errors.
Smart-UPS meets Novell and Microsoft’s approval for network protec-
tion, without the need for additional external conditioners.
Site wiring fault indicator saves you trouble and expense
Alerts you to potential problems, such as missing ground and reversed
polarity, two common miswirings which usually require an electrician’s
visit to diagnose (120VAC models only).
Lightning and surge protection shields hardware
When measured via ANSI/IEEE 587 Category “A” and “B” tests, the
suppression performance of the APC Smart-UPS is superior to virtually
all separate surge suppressors.
Pre-failure diagnostics
Smart-UPS continuously monitors its health and proactively informs you
of the results via Web, SNMP, E-mail or paging.
Auto self-test
All APC Smart-UPS initiate a self-test at power-on and every 2 weeks, at the
push of a button, or pre-determined times using software. This ensures
that you will be alerted to degraded batteries before they wear out.
Graceful, unattended shutdown
In the event of an extended power outage, an APC Smart-UPS will inter-
face with PowerChute plus via the serial port to perform automatic safe
shutdown of the attached system. Power failures can occur at night, on
weekends, or while the system administrator is out of the building,
which makes automatic safe shutdown critical. Smart-UPS provides
extensive unattended safe shutdown of many operating systems when
the UPS runs out of battery power, including Microsoft Windows 95/98,
Windows NT/2000, Novell NetWare, SCO Unix, Red Hat, SuSE, Caldera,
and TurboLinux (other OSs available separately). By using PowerChute
plus software you can manage and diagnose power problems.
•Safely shut down a single server via serial cable
The Smart-UPS communications port provides the coordination of
a safe shutdown with most popular operating systems by
Microsoft, Novell, HP, IBM, Sun, SCO, Linux, and others.
• Safely shut down multiple servers via serial cable
APC has several solutions to shut down multiple servers. The
2-Port Interface Expander Card (AP9607) provides two addition-
al ports. The 8-Port Interface Expander (AP9207) provides a total
of eight ports and can be daisy-chained to provide 15 ports.
Both accessories facilitate graceful system shutdown via
dependable hardwire connections and allow advanced UPS
management. The units are ideal for “server farms” or multi-
ple operating system environments.
•Safely shut down multiple servers via network connection
APC PowerChute network shutdown software communicates
across the network with Smart-UPS equipped with APC
Web/SNMP card to provide reliable, graceful unattended shut-
down of multiple computer systems over the network.
