APC by Schneider Electric Smart-UPS X SMX3000RMLV2UNC 3000 VA Rack-mountable UPS

Designed for IT managers, network administrators, and data-driven organizations, the APC Smart-UPS X SMX3000RMLV2UNC is the uptime guardian you need for critical electronics. This 3000 VA rack-mountable UPS delivers reliable, clean power to servers, switches, storage devices, and networking equipment during extended outages, while protecting against surges, transients, and brownouts. With a 2U footprint that mends space constraints in modern data centers and server rooms, it provides advanced power conditioning, intelligent management, and scalable runtime options to keep business operations uninterrupted.

  • Pure sine wave output and line-interactive AVR topology ensure clean, continuous power to sensitive IT equipment even during fluctuating mains. By maintaining a stable voltage with automatic voltage regulation, the SMX3000RMLV2UNC minimizes wear on connected hardware, avoids unnecessary battery drain during minor outages, and supports sensitive equipment that requires high-quality power in today’s hybrid environments.
  • High-capacity performance in a compact 2U form factor — 3000 VA (approximately 2700 W) in a rack-mountable chassis that can also be deployed as a tower. This design conserves rack space while delivering robust protection for critical infrastructure, making it ideal for server rooms, data centers, and edge deployments where space, reliability, and efficiency matter most.
  • Advanced power conditioning and protection features including automatic voltage regulation (AVR), surge protection, and EMI/RFI filtering. The AVR capability maintains stable output voltage across a wide input range, reducing thermal stress on IT gear and extending the life of power supplies, drives, and networking equipment without depleting battery reserves for every minor fluctuation.
  • Intelligent management and monitoring capabilities that empower IT teams to stay ahead of power events. The UPS includes an easy-to-read LCD interface on compatible models, USB and Serial communications, and options to add a Network Management Card (NMC) for remote monitoring, SNMP integration, and centralized shutdown policies. PowerChute and compatible third-party management tools help automate graceful shutdowns, alerting, and reporting for compliance and uptime audits.
  • Flexible deployment and maintainability designed for evolving environments. The SMX3000RMLV2UNC supports rack-mount installation with optional battery cabinets and external battery modules to extend runtime as demand grows. Its modular design, hot-swappable batteries in some configurations, and quiet operation make it suitable for data centers, network closets, and edge sites that require dependable power without disrupting operations.

how to install APC Smart-UPS X SMX3000RMLV2UNC

  • Plan the installation layout in a cool, well-ventilated rack room. Ensure adequate clearance for airflow and accessibility to rear connectors and maintenance bypass.
  • Mount the UPS securely in a standard 19-inch equipment rack using the appropriate mounting rails. If a tower configuration is preferred, stabilize the unit on a level surface with an appropriate base stand if required by your setup.
  • Connect the UPS input power cord to a dedicated branch circuit that matches regional specifications. Do not daisy-chain with other high-power devices; ensure proper electrical protection and grounding.
  • Connect critical devices (servers, switches, storage, and networking gear) to the UPS output outlets. Distribute load evenly to avoid overloading a single receptacle and maintain runtime during outages.
  • Hook up the USB or Serial communication cables to a management station, and install optional Network Management Card if remote monitoring is required. Power up the UPS and navigate the LCD interface to verify input and output voltages, battery status, and load.
  • Run a basic commissioning test by simulating a power outage to observe orderly shutdown and ensure connected equipment remains protected. Configure shutdown policies, alert thresholds, and notification methods in PowerChute or your preferred management software.
  • Optionally install external battery modules or battery cabinets to extend runtime for longer outages or higher-load scenarios. Monitor battery health over time and schedule periodic battery tests to maintain readiness.

Frequently asked questions

  • What types of equipment should I protect with the SMX3000RMLV2UNC?
    The UPS is designed for critical IT equipment including servers, network switches, storage devices, and high-availability network appliances. It provides clean, conditioned power with surge protection and battery support to keep essential services online during outages.
  • Can the SMX3000RMLV2UNC be used in both rack and tower configurations?
    Yes. This model is designed for rack-mount installations in data centers and equipment rooms, and it can be configured for tower operation in appropriate environments. The choice depends on space, airflow, and accessibility in your deployment.
  • Is network management supported?
    Yes. The UPS includes USB and Serial interfaces and supports an optional Network Management Card for remote monitoring, SNMP integration, and centralized event handling, which helps IT teams manage power policies across multiple devices and sites.
  • What affects runtime, and can I extend it?
    Runtime is primarily a function of load. Heavier loads reduce runtime, while lower loads extend it. You can extend runtime by adding external battery modules or battery cabinets designed for Smart-UPS X systems to meet longer outage requirements.
  • How do I maintain battery health?
    Regular battery health checks, firmware updates (via management software), and periodic battery replacement per manufacturer recommendations are essential. Many configurations support hot-swappable batteries, minimizing downtime during maintenance.
