Quick Glance
Key Features
Extended Runtime With External Battery Packs
APC's listing for every model in this range shows external battery packs that can be added: up to 5 on the 750VA to 1500VA models and up to 10 on the 2200VA and 3000VA models. Tell us the runtime you need and we will confirm the pack and how many.
Rack or Tower, 2U or 4U
APC titles every model rack/tower convertible. The 750VA to 1500VA models and the 2U versions of the 2200VA and 3000VA are 2U; SMX2200HV, SMX2200HVNC, SMX3000HV and SMX3000HVNC are 4U. Rail kit arrangements differ by model, see the notes below.
SmartSlot or Network Card Pre-installed
The seven plain models list an available SmartSlot expansion slot, so a network card can be added later. The six NC-suffixed models list a Network Management Card 3 as pre-installed instead.
Detailed Specifications
Where variants differ, every value is listed in the same order as the compare table above. Tell us the SKU and we will confirm the exact figure.
Specifications from Schneider Electric’s product data for each SKU on this page (se.com, UAE). No efficiency figure is quoted because Schneider’s published row for it could not be read unambiguously. Where a row lists several values, they are the different values across the models on this page. Ask us and we will confirm any value against the unit.
Need-to-Know
Thirteen SKUs share this page across 2U and 4U bodies and two network levels: seven with an available SmartSlot and six with a Network Management Card 3 pre-installed. Capacity, form factor and management are what change between them.
- Rack/tower 2U vs 4U: the U is rack height. The 750VA to 1500VA models and the 2U versions of the 2200VA and 3000VA models are 2U (85 to 89 mm tall). The 4U HV versions of the 2200VA and 3000VA take twice the rack height of a 2U, are a shorter 483 mm deep (the 2U versions of those two capacities are 667 mm deep) and have two C19 outlets against one on the 2U versions. The 750VA to 1500VA models have 8 C13 outlets and no C19.
- The 2200VA and 3000VA capacities each come in a 2U and a 4U version on the same 208V-230V supply range: the RMHV2U and R2HVNC models are 2U, the HV and HVNC models are 4U. Check the form factor column before ordering.
- SmartSlot vs Network Management Card: the SmartSlot is the expansion slot in the UPS; the Network Management Card (NMC) is the card for network-based UPS monitoring and management. The seven plain models list an available expansion slot; the six NC-suffixed models list a Network Management Card 3 as pre-installed. All thirteen list a serial port and a USB port.
- Rail kits for rack mounting: the listings for the 1500VA models and the 2200VA and 3000VA 2U models say the rail kit is included. The listings for the 750VA and 1000VA models (SU032A) and the 4U HV models (AP9625) show a rail kit as a separate item, and their provided-equipment lists also show rack mounting rails or brackets, so we confirm what is in the box before ordering.
- External battery packs: APC's listing shows packs that can be added to every model, up to 5 on the 750VA to 1500VA models and up to 10 on the 2200VA and 3000VA models. Tell us the runtime you need and we will confirm which pack and how many.
- Automatic Voltage Regulation is named in APC's listing for the 750VA, 1000VA and 1500VA models, SMX2200RMHV2U and SMX3000RMHV2U; ask us to confirm it for any other model.
