Frequently asked questions
- Q: What makes the APC Smart-UPS SRT 5000VA different from a standard standby UPS? A: The SRT 5000VA uses true online double-conversion to continuously convert incoming AC power to DC and back to AC, providing ultra-clean output and consistent voltage regardless of input fluctuations or outages, which is essential for sensitive IT gear and workloads.
- Q: How does the 208/240V to 120V step-down transformer benefit my deployment? A: It enables safe operation of devices that require 120V output while you supply the unit with a higher voltage utility feed, simplifying integration in environments with mixed voltage requirements and reducing the need for separate voltage conversion equipment.
- Q: Can I extend the runtime of the SRT 5000VA? A: Yes, runtime is scalable with external battery modules, allowing you to tailor protection to your workload profiles and recovery objectives without sacrificing performance.
- Q: Is the UPS rack-mountable and can it be used as a tower? A: Absolutely. The SRT line is designed as a 4U rack/tower convertible solution, giving you flexible deployment options to fit your existing IT infrastructure and space constraints.
- Q: What kind of remote management is available? A: The unit includes an Embedded Network Management Card that enables remote monitoring, alerting, and control over the network, allowing you to track power events, perform automatic shutdowns, and integrate with data center management systems.
- Q: How do I know when batteries need replacement? A: Battery health monitoring via the UPS management interface provides health status, age, and cycle information, with recommended replacement timelines based on usage, temperature, and discharge cycles.
- Q: What loads should I protect with this UPS? A: Prioritize mission-critical servers, virtualization hosts, NAS devices, network switches, and core storage arrays. Non-critical equipment can be connected if capacity allows, but ensure essential devices remain protected during outages to prevent data loss and downtime.
- Q: Are there safety or installation certifications I should be aware of? A: Ensure compliance with local electrical codes and data-center standards; refer to the product datasheet for exact certifications and installation recommendations for your region.
