How to install APC Symmetra RM 4kVA Scalable to 6kVA UPS
- Plan your rack space and ensure adequate clearance for cooling, access, and future expansion. Symmetra RM is designed for rack-mount installation in standard 19-inch racks.
- Mount the Symmetra RM chassis securely in the rack using the provided mounting hardware. Verify level and stability before proceeding.
- Install any required modular power modules and battery modules per the configuration plan. Hot-swappable components allow replacement without powering down attached equipment.
- Connect the input power to the correct utility feed, ensuring that wiring matches the selected input configuration and that protections (breakers, fuses) comply with local code.
- Connect IT equipment to the UPS output (or a distribution unit tied to the UPS) and configure transfer thresholds, alarms, and shutdown policies according to your operating environment.
- Power on the system and perform an initial self-test, then configure the management interface (web, SNMP, or power management software) to monitor load, battery health, and events.
