APC Smart-UPS X 2000VA Rack/Tower LCD 100-127V with Network Card is the cornerstone of modern IT resiliency, engineered to protect critical electronics against power outages, brownouts, surges, and harmonic distortion. This premium UPS delivers clean, reliable power for servers, networking gear, storage devices, and other sensitive equipment, helping to maintain uptime, safeguard data, and minimize business disruption. Its versatile rack/tower form factor makes it ideal for data centers, edge deployments, and mixed environments where space and flexibility matter. Designed for IT managers and network administrators who demand predictable performance, this UPS combines robust hardware with intelligent software integration to provide proactive monitoring, graceful shutdown capabilities, and simplified asset management across distributed environments. Whether you are supporting a small data closet or a large enterprise rack, the Smart-UPS X 2000VA ensures that critical workloads stay online and responsive, even when the grid is volatile. The LCD interface delivers at-a-glance status and actionable insights, while the integrated network card enables remote visibility and control for centralized operations. In short, this UPS is built to protect your digital infrastructure today and scale with your organization as your needs evolve.

• Flexible deployment for rack or tower configurations: The Smart-UPS X 2000VA adapts to your space with easy-to-use rack-mount rails and the option to stand alone as a tower. This flexibility is perfect for data centers, telecom closets, labs, or remote sites where floor space and mounting options vary. Its modular design supports incremental growth, so you can start small and scale up as your infrastructure expands, without sacrificing protection or performance.
• Comprehensive, easy-to-read LCD status display: The two-line LCD (with backlight) presents key metrics in real time, including input/output voltage, load percentage, battery status, and estimated runtime. You can navigate through multiple screens to quickly assess health, alerts, and event history, enabling faster troubleshooting and informed capacity planning. The intuitive interface reduces the need for specialized training and accelerates incident response when power events occur.
• Network Card for advanced remote management: This UPS includes an integrated network card that enables remote monitoring and management via APC PowerChute Network Shutdown, SNMP, HTTP, and SSH. IT teams can set up automated notifications, perform graceful shutdowns for connected servers and virtual machines, and integrate UPS health data into existing IT service management workflows. This capability is essential for centralized operations, hybrid cloud environments, and distributed edge computing where visibility across devices is critical.
• Advanced power protection with AVR and clean output: Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) corrects voltage fluctuations without switching to battery, preserving battery life while delivering clean, steady sine-wave power to sensitive equipment. In addition to surge suppression and noise filtration, the UPS maintains stable performance during mains irregularities, preventing data corruption, unexpected reboots, and equipment wear caused by voltage dips or spikes.
• Reliable, serviceable battery design with long runtime: The Smart-UPS X uses high-quality, user-replaceable batteries with intelligent battery management that monitors health and capacity. The system supports hot-swappable battery modules in many configurations, enabling quick field service with minimal downtime. Predictive health alerts and runtime estimates help you plan maintenance, extend battery life, and prioritize replacements before a failure threatens uptime.

How to install APC by Schneider Electric Smart-UPS X 2000VA Rack/Tower LCD 100-127V with Network Card

Installing the Smart-UPS X is straightforward and designed to minimize downtime while maximizing protection and performance. Follow these steps to ensure a safe, correct setup that supports long-term reliability:

• Prepare the installation environment: Place the UPS in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture. Ensure sufficient clearance around the unit for airflow and service access, and confirm that the ambient temperature stays within the recommended range for battery health.
• Choose the mounting configuration: Decide whether you will mount in a 19-inch rack or install as a standalone tower. Use the supplied rack ears and mounting hardware for rack installations, or attach the feet for tower placement. Level the unit to prevent vibration and ensure stable operation.
• Connect the loads and input power: Connect your critical devices (servers, storage, and networking gear) to the UPS output outlets. Plug the UPS input cable into a dedicated 100-127V power source that matches the UPS’s specifications. Avoid overloading outlets and maintain a balanced load across phases if applicable.
• Install and configure the Network Card: If not pre-installed, insert the Network Card into the appropriate slot and connect the management port to your network. Use APC software or the built-in web interface to configure alert thresholds, email or SMS notifications, and graceful shutdown policies to protect unattended systems.
• Power up, test, and calibrate: Turn on the UPS and perform a self-test via the LCD menu or software. Confirm that the LCD displays accurate readings and that runtime estimates reflect expected conditions. Run a simulated outage to verify that connected devices shutdown gracefully when requested by policy.
• Document and monitor: Record the device’s serial number, SKU/UPC, network settings, and configured policies. Establish ongoing monitoring with your preferred management system to receive alerts and track battery health, events, and utilization over time.
