Description
Meet the APC by Schneider Electric Smart-UPS Ultra 2200VA Rack-mountable UPS, a high-capacity uninterruptible power supply designed to protect your most valuable IT assets. This compact powerhouse delivers up to 2200 VA (approximately 1980 W) of clean, resilient power, ensuring servers, storage, switches, and networking gear stay online through outages, surges, and brownouts. Built to maximize space efficiency, it weighs less and occupies a smaller footprint than many traditional UPS solutions, enabling easy deployment in dense racks, customized workstations, or constrained environments. The Smart-UPS Ultra is engineered for reliability, everyday performance, and simple, flexible installation thanks to its five mounting options and an intuitive auto-rotating LCD that makes monitoring effortless from any configuration. Whether you’re outfitting a data center, a small business IT closet, or a home lab, this UPS is crafted to keep critical workloads moving with minimal disruption.
- Power capacity and efficiency: 2200 VA / ~1980 W with high-efficiency operation to support servers, storage, and network devices while reducing energy costs.
- Flexible mounting options: Five mounting styles—rack (2-post and 4-post), tower, wall, ceiling, and desk under-mount—so you can install it exactly where you need protection.
- Clean power for sensitive equipment: Pure sine-wave output plus Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) delivers consistent voltage to protect components and extend hardware life.
- Smart display and visibility: Auto-rotating LCD provides real-time status, load, and runtime metrics for quick assessment from any orientation.
- Comprehensive management and control: USB and Serial interfaces with optional Network Management Card and PowerChute software compatibility for remote monitoring, shut-down, and alerting.

How to install APC by Schneider Electric Smart-UPS Ultra 2200VA Rack-mountable UPS
- Prepare the installation site: Choose from rack, tower, wall, ceiling, or desk under-mount configurations. Ensure adequate ventilation and access to a suitable power source and data connections.
- Mount the unit: Use the provided brackets to secure the UPS in your chosen orientation. If rack-mounting, install in a 2U rack space and secure with the appropriate rails or screws. For non-rack placements, attach the mounts for wall, ceiling, or desk under-mount setups.
- Connect the load: Connect your critical devices—servers, storage, switches, and networking gear—to the UPS outlets as recommended by the manual, prioritizing essential equipment for guaranteed runtime during outages.
- Power and cabling: Plug the UPS into a dedicated form of power via the auto-sensing 120 V input. Use quality cables and ensure the UPS’s internal battery is properly seated and, if needed, replaced with a manufacturer-approved unit.
- Configure management: Connect the USB (and/or Serial) interface to a management host. If you plan remote monitoring, install an optional Network Management Card and PowerChute software, then register the device for alerts and safe shutdown scheduling.
- Initial checks: Power on the UPS, verify auto-rotation of the display, check load and runtime metrics, and run a self-test to confirm AVR, surge protection, and battery health are functioning correctly.
Frequently asked questions
-
What does 2200VA / ~1980W mean for my setup?
The 2200 VA rating represents the apparent power capacity, while ~1980 W indicates the real, usable power to support connected devices. This level is suitable for mid-sized IT equipment such as servers, NAS, switches, and network infrastructure in small to mid-sized deployments.
