Specifications

Availability—The UPS provides reliable power minimising 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:
rebooting 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 related to users’ customised 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, minimising
downtime, saving time and money, and increasing overall customer satisfaction.
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 SU420INET/SU620INET 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
protection, without the need for additional external conditioners.
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
interface 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 shutdown 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
additional 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 multiple operating system environments.
•Safely shutdown 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
shutdown of multiple computer systems over the network.
