Designed for data centers, server rooms, and network closets, this UPS combines high-efficiency online topology with a versatile rack-and-tower form factor, giving IT professionals a reliable foundation for uninterrupted operations. With a crisp LCD interface, intelligent battery management, and scalable runtimes, it keeps servers, storage, networking gear, and other essential equipment running smoothly during outages, brownouts, and voltage fluctuations. This model is optimized for 100-127V environments, making it a dependable choice for regional installations that demand clean, consistent power without compromise.

• Uninterruptible Power with Online Double-Conversion Protection: The Smart-UPS X 3000VA continuously converts incoming AC into clean, conditioned DC power and then back to AC, delivering a steady, pure sine wave to critical devices. This minimizes voltage dips, surges, and waveform distortion that can threaten uptime and data integrity, ensuring servers and network hardware stay operational through interruptions.
• Rack-and-Tower Flexibility with Scalable Runtime: This unit is designed to fit into standard 19-inch racks or sit in a protected workspace as a tower. Its modular architecture supports easy expansion with external battery modules, allowing you to tailor runtime to your evolving IT load without replacing the core UPS.
• Intuitive LCD Interface for Quick Status at a Glance: The operator-friendly LCD panel provides real-time metrics, including input/output voltage, load, battery health, and estimated runtime. This at-a-glance visibility helps IT teams make informed decisions during events and simplifies routine maintenance tasks.
• Intelligent Battery Management and Hot-Swappable Battery Capability: The UPS employs smart battery management to optimize battery health and extend service life. When needed, batteries can be replaced with minimal downtime to keep critical systems protected without removing the entire unit from service.
• Energy Efficiency and Heat Reduction: The Smart-UPS X line delivers high efficiency in normal operation and offers advanced energy-saving features. By minimizing energy waste and heat generation, it lowers cooling requirements in dense data-center environments while preserving performance under load.

how to install APC Smart-UPS X 3000VA Rack/Tower LCD 100-127V

• Plan the installation location: Choose a stable, vibration-free area with adequate clearance for ventilation and easy access to the LCD panel and outlets. If rack-mounting, install rails in the 2U position with proper support and cable management to prevent obstruction during maintenance.
• Mount the unit securely: Use the provided rack-mount hardware to secure the UPS in the rack, or place it on a steady shelf if using the tower configuration. Ensure the unit is level and that airflow is not obstructed by surrounding equipment.
• Connect power and equipment: Plug the UPS into a dedicated wall outlet that matches the 100-127V input specification. Connect critical devices (servers, storage, network switches) to the UPS outputs. Avoid loading the unit beyond its rated capacity to preserve protection and performance.
• Power up and configure: Turn on the UPS and follow the on-screen prompts on the LCD panel to set the input and output parameters, language, and display preferences. Confirm the battery status and perform a short runtime test to validate operation.
• Install management and monitoring tools: Connect USB or Serial cables to a management station to monitor status. If you require remote oversight, install the optional Network Management Card and configure it within your network monitoring system to receive alerts and perform firmware updates.
• Test and establish maintenance schedules: Run a controlled outage test to verify runtime estimates and ensure connected equipment gracefully shuts down if necessary. Schedule regular battery tests, firmware checks, and environmental monitoring to maintain readiness.
