APC by Schneider Electric Smart-UPS 2200VA Rack-mountable UPS

Protect your most important IT assets with a dependable, high-capacity rack-mountable UPS from APC by Schneider Electric. The Smart-UPS 2200VA is engineered to deliver clean, reliable sine-wave power to servers, storage devices, network gear, and virtualization platforms in busy data centers or small business environments. With precise voltage regulation, fast response to outages, and flexible connectivity, it provides the uptime your business relies on while keeping critical equipment safe from power disturbances and brownouts.

• High-capacity backup for demanding workloads — With a rated capacity of 2200 VA (approximately 1980 watts), this Smart-UPS model is built to sustain multiple servers, storage arrays, and essential networking gear during outages. It ensures critical services stay online long enough for graceful shutdowns or uninterrupted operation during short power interruptions, minimizing data loss and downtime in high-demand environments.

• 2U rack-mountable footprint for space-efficient integration — Designed to fit standard 19-inch racks, this UPS leverages 2U of rack space to maximize your data center or equipment room density. Its compact form makes it ideal for wall-mount or rack installations, preserving valuable floor space while delivering full protection for your IT infrastructure.

• Pure sine-wave output for sensitive equipment — The UPS provides clean, stable sine-wave power, which is essential for servers, storage controllers, virtualization hosts, and other sensitive electronics. This smooth power delivery reduces the risk of equipment instability, unexpected reboots, and hardware wear caused by jagged or degraded power signals during outages or grid disturbances.

• Comprehensive management and connectivity — Stay in control with built-in USB and Serial ports that enable graceful shutdowns and proactive power management. When paired with APC PowerChute or other compatible management software, you can automate shutdown sequences, monitor runtime, and receive alerts to protect uptime without manual intervention.

• Flexible outlet and power-distribution configuration — The unit offers a curated mix of outlets to support both critical equipment and battery/surge protection needs. It includes 1 x IEC 320-C19 inlet/outlet and multiple IEC 320-C13 outlets, along with a substantial configuration of battery/surge outlets to safeguard a range of devices. This versatility ensures you can connect servers, switches, routers, and storage with reliable power delivery while maintaining room for expansion as your network grows.

• Place your critical devices on the UPS’ IEC 320-C19 and IEC 320-C13 outlets, grouping equipment by priority so that essential servers and networking gear remain powered during an outage.
• Connect the USB or Serial management port to a monitoring server or console. Install APC PowerChute or compatible UPS management software to enable automated shutdown, real-time monitoring, and alert notifications.
• Power on the UPS and run its self-test to verify healthy operation. Configure the shutdown thresholds, notification emails, and runtime options to tailor the protection to your specific environment.

Frequently asked questions

• What does 2200VA mean and how does it relate to real-world runtime? 2200VA represents the apparent power capacity of the UPS. Real-world runtime depends on the load (the actual wattage drawn by connected devices). With typical servers and networking gear, you can expect a meaningful runtime during outages, with longer durations for lighter loads and shorter bursts for heavier loads.
• Is this UPS suitable for 230V systems? Yes. The unit is specified for 230 V AC input and output, making it well-suited for standard European and other 230V power grids commonly used in data centers and business environments.
• How do I manage shutdowns and monitoring? You can connect via USB or Serial and use APC PowerChute or other compatible software to schedule graceful shutdowns, monitor runtime, and receive alerts on power events to minimize data loss and downtime.
• What is the recharge time for this UPS? The UPS specifies a 3-hour recharge time to full capacity, ensuring readiness after a complete battery discharge and rapid return to service for continuous protection.
• What outlets are available for devices? The UPS includes a combination of IEC outlets, such as 1 x IEC 320-C19 and 8 x IEC 320-C13, plus additional battery/surge outlets to accommodate a range of critical devices and protect peripheral equipment.
