How to install APC Smart-UPS

Installing the APC Smart-UPS is designed to be straightforward, with a focus on safe setup and rapid protection of your critical devices. Start by planning the placement of the unit in a well-ventilated area with clear access to the LCD display and connections. If you will use a rack, ensure you have the appropriate rails or mounting kit for a clean, secure installation in a 2U rack space. For tower configurations, position the UPS on a stable surface with adequate air circulation and away from heat sources or direct sunlight.

• Unpack and inspect the UPS, verifying that all components are present and undamaged. Confirm that the lithium-ion battery is properly seated and that the unit’s vents are unobstructed.
• Mount the UPS in a 2U rack slot or place it on a secure shelf to support the weight and ensure stable operation. Allow for proper clearance around the unit for cooling and cable routing.
• Connect the UPS input power cord to a dedicated 120V outlet. Do not overload the circuit and avoid daisy-chaining with other high-power devices.
• Connect your critical equipment to the 6x NEMA 5-15R outlets on the UPS, placing the most essential devices on the outlets closest to the front for easy access and monitoring.
• Power on the UPS and use the LCD screen to verify status. If you plan to enable remote monitoring, connect the SmartConnect Port and install any required management software or license via the SmartSlot.
