• Unmatched protection for IT gear: The Smart-UPS Li-Ion Short Depth 1000VA delivers dependable power to critical devices such as servers, switches, routers, NAS devices, and other networking equipment. Its line-interactive topology with automatic voltage regulation (AVR) helps maintain steady output even when input voltage fluctuates, reducing the risk of device damage and data loss. This means faster, safer shutdowns and smoother operation during outages or voltage sags, so your IT environment stays online when it matters most.
• Li-Ion battery advantages: Benefit from the longer-life Li-Ion battery technology included with this UPS. Compared to traditional lead-acid batteries, Li-Ion offers extended service life, higher cycle life, and lighter weight, which translates into lower maintenance and less frequent replacements. The battery chemistry supports more consistent performance over time and a smaller total cost of ownership, while maintaining reliable runtime for essential equipment across episodic power events.
• SmartConnect cloud-enabled management: With SmartConnect, this UPS enables remote monitoring and cloud-based management of battery health, load levels, and event alerts. You can receive proactive notifications, run diagnostics, and access performance data from anywhere, helping you optimize uptime and plan maintenance. The SmartConnect ecosystem integrates with Schneider Electric tools and compatible IT management platforms, simplifying administration for busy IT staff and administrators across distributed environments.
• Space-saving, short-depth design: Specifically engineered for tight spaces, this 1000VA unit fits behind enclosures, in narrow racks, or in small rooms where depth is at a premium. The compact footprint does not compromise protection or performance, enabling you to consolidate power protection into compact data cabinets, retail backrooms, or wall-mounted installations while preserving full UPS features and capabilities.
• Energy efficiency and reliability for business continuity: The Smart-UPS Li-Ion model emphasizes energy-conscious operation with efficient power conditioning, fast response to disturbances, and reduced maintenance cycles. By safeguarding uptime for critical devices, businesses experience fewer unexpected shutdowns, improved data integrity, and simplified disaster recovery planning, all while contributing to lower operating costs and a smaller environmental footprint.

how to install APC by Schneider Electric Smart-UPS Li-Ion, Short Depth 1000VA, 120V With SmartConnect

• Unbox and inspect: Remove packaging and confirm that all components are present, including the UPS unit, mounting hardware if applicable, power cords, and any installation guides. Check for any shipping damage before proceeding.
• Choose a safe installation location: Place the UPS in a clean, dry area with adequate ventilation and unobstructed airflow. Ensure there is enough clearance around the unit for cooling and access to outlets and port connections. The short-depth design is ideal for compact spaces such as small closets or behind equipment racks.
• Position and connect power: Position the UPS near a 120V wall outlet. Connect the UPS to the electrical source using the appropriate power cord. Allow the internal battery to initial-charge for the recommended period before connecting critical devices.
• Attach devices to protected outlets: Connect your critical IT equipment—servers, switches, routers, NAS devices, and other essential gear—to the UPS-protected outlets. Use non-protected outlets only for non-critical loads if present on the unit, per the user manual guidelines.
• Register for SmartConnect and finalize setup: If you haven’t already, enable SmartConnect to activate cloud monitoring. Use the provided software or the SmartConnect portal to view battery health, load levels, and runtime estimates. Run any available diagnostics, and configure alerts to suit your operational needs. Perform initial battery conditioning if recommended by the manual, and schedule regular maintenance checks to ensure ongoing reliability.

Frequently asked questions

• What devices does the APC Smart-UPS Li-Ion protect? It protects essential IT equipment such as servers, switches, routers, NAS devices, and other networking gear from power outages, voltage fluctuations, surges, and transient disturbances.
• How long will the battery last on battery power? Runtime depends on the load placed on the UPS. At lighter loads, you will typically experience longer runtime, allowing for orderly shutdowns or continued operation during short disturbances. Runtime decreases with heavier loads; exact figures vary by device mix and usage.
• What is SmartConnect and how does it help? SmartConnect is a cloud-based management service that provides remote monitoring of UPS health, battery status, load, and alerts. It simplifies administration, enables proactive maintenance, and supports rapid response to power events across distributed environments.
• Is the short-depth design suitable for tight spaces? Yes. The compact form factor is intended for environments with limited depth, such as small data closets, under-desk installations, or dense rack setups, while still delivering full UPS protection.
• How should I install and maintain this unit? Install in a ventilated area, connect to a 120V outlet, protect critical devices, enable SmartConnect for monitoring, and perform periodic battery health checks according to the user guide. Regular maintenance and firmware updates help sustain optimal performance and reliability.
