APC Smart-UPS 2200VA Rackmount 2U 120V with AVR, LCD, SmartConnect Port and SmartSlot – TAA-Compliant

The APC Smart-UPS 2200VA Line-Interactive UPS delivers robust power protection for critical equipment in small data centers, server closets, and network rooms. Designed for rack deployment, this 2U unit provides reliable uptime, intelligent monitoring, and scalable management through its LCD interface, SmartConnect cloud capability, and SmartSlot expansion. Built to endure demanding environments and with TAA compliance for government and contract work, it ensures your servers, switches, and storage devices stay online when power events occur. Whether you’re protecting a small blade server chassis, a rack-mounted switch, or a storage array, this UPS offers a dependable foundation for uptime, data integrity, and business continuity.

• The 2200VA capacity in a compact 2U rackmount chassis delivers ample backup power for mid-range servers, networking gear, and storage devices, while preserving valuable rack space in a data center or office environment.
• Line-Interactive topology with Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) stabilizes voltage during brownouts and overvoltages, reducing wear on connected equipment and extending runtime without resorting to battery power for minor fluctuations.
• Six NEMA 5-15R outlets plus two NEMA 5-20R outlets provide versatile, balanced outlet protection for mixed equipment loads, enabling you to cleanly separate critical devices from less essential peripherals.
• Intuitive LCD status display alongside the SmartConnect Port and SmartSlot slot enables simple local monitoring and scalable remote management through APC’s cloud and optional management cards.
• Compact rack-ready design with 2U height and 19-inch EIA rack compatibility, plus a rugged, TA A-compliant build that suits government procurement and enterprise deployments alike.

How to install APC Smart-UPS

• Prepare the rack area: Choose a well-ventilated, stable rack space with adequate clearance for rear cabling and battery access. Confirm a standard 19-inch rack and secure mounting rails if not already included with the UPS.
• Mount the UPS: Attach the provided rails or mounting kit to the APC Smart-UPS chassis and slide it into the rack, aligning with the 19-inch rails. Use the included screws to secure the unit firmly, ensuring it is level and stable before reconnecting equipment.
• Connect the load: Route your critical devices—servers, switches, and storage gear—to the appropriate NEMA outlets (6 x 5-15R and 2 x 5-20R). Distribute high-priority equipment to keep essential systems powered during a outage and avoid overloading any single outlet bank.
• Connect to utility power: Plug the UPS into a properly grounded 120V AC outlet. Ensure a clean power source with minimal shared circuit loading to maximize runtime and prevent nuisance tripping during brownouts.
• Power up and configure: Turn on the unit and verify LCD readouts for input voltage, load, and battery status. If you plan to use cloud monitoring, connect the SmartConnect Port to your network (internet access required) and register the UPS in the APC Cloud portal. If you plan to use a managed enclosure, install an optional SmartSlot management card for extended features and remote oversight.
• Battery and firmware checks: Run a battery self-test via the LCD menu to confirm battery health. Check for firmware or software updates through the SmartConnect portal or via an optional management card to ensure you have the latest performance enhancements.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What devices can I protect with the APC Smart-UPS 2200VA? A: This unit is designed to support servers, network switches, storage devices, and other critical equipment in small to mid-size deployments. Distribute loads across the 6 NEMA 5-15R outlets and 2 NEMA 5-20R outlets to maximize uptime for essential gear.
• Q: What is AVR and why is it important? A: Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) stabilizes incoming voltage to a safe range without using the battery, helping protect equipment from voltage fluctuations and reducing battery wear during minor disturbances.
• Q: How do I monitor the UPS? A: You can monitor locally via the LCD display for real-time status, runtime, load, and input/output voltage. For remote monitoring, use the SmartConnect Port to connect to the APC Cloud and manage the UPS through APC’s management interfaces. An optional SmartSlot card can expand on-network management capabilities.
• Q: Is this UPS compliant with government procurement? A: Yes. The unit is TA A-compliant (TAA) and suitable for government contracts and procurement programs that require compliant power protection solutions.
• Q: What maintenance is required? A: Regular battery health checks via the LCD menu, periodic self-tests, and firmware updates through the SmartConnect portal or via recommended management hardware. Schedule battery replacement checks as battery health degrades with age to maintain uptime guarantees.
