• Advanced modular protection for scalable data centers: The RM XR Frame is designed to grow with your IT footprint. Its modular architecture supports hot-swappable components and scalable battery capacity, enabling seamless expansion as your power and runtime requirements evolve. This turnkey approach minimizes downtime during capacity upgrades and ensures your power infrastructure remains aligned with changing workloads and density, all within a compact 19-inch rack footprint.
• Extended runtime with four SYBT2 battery modules: This configuration ships with four SYBT2 battery modules, delivering extended autonomy for critical devices. The extended runtime is essential for maintaining function during outages, allowing you to gracefully shut down or sustain essential services without compromising data integrity. The battery bundle is designed for straightforward replacement and quick serviceability to minimize maintenance windows.
• Reliable 208/240V single-phase operation: Optimized for 208/240V single-phase power common in data centers and enterprise environments, the Symmetra RM XR Frame delivers stable voltage regulation and clean power to connected equipment. This reduces the risk of voltage fluctuations harming servers, storage arrays, and network gear, while enabling a more predictable power distribution strategy across racks and rows.
• Smart management and monitoring: Gain comprehensive visibility with integrated management features, including local and remote monitoring, USB and RS-232 interfaces, and network-capable options for DCIM integration. Real-time metrics on load, input/output voltage, battery health, and remaining runtime empower operators to make proactive decisions and keep IT equipment within safe operating conditions.
• Quiet, efficient operation and long-term cost savings: The XR frame employs online, double-conversion topology with efficient cooling and modular components, delivering clean power with lower energy waste. Its scalable runtime and hot-swappable parts reduce maintenance costs and downtime, while predictive health indicators help extend the life of the UPS system and protect total cost of ownership over the lifetime of the deployment.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What runtime can I expect with four SYBT2 batteries?
  A: Runtime depends on the load level. Heavier server and storage deployments consume energy faster, while lighter IT gear yields longer protection time. The four SYBT2 modules are designed to provide extended autonomy to support critical operations during outages, with runtime increasing as you scale load and battery capacity.
• Q: Can I add more batteries to extend runtime beyond the included four SYBT2 modules?
  A: Yes. The Symmetra RM XR Frame supports expansion with additional battery blocks, subject to rack space, electrical capacity, and compatibility. For optimal results, consult APC installation documentation or a certified technician to plan and implement battery expansion safely.
• Q: What kind of protection does the RM XR Frame offer?
  A: The unit provides online, double-conversion UPS protection to regulate voltage, protect against sags and surges, and sustain critical workloads during power disturbances. It isolates connected equipment from irregular power and supports graceful shutdowns in prolonged outages.
• Q: How can I monitor the UPS and its health?
  A: Monitoring is available via USB, RS-232, and network interfaces. You can also integrate with DCIM tools for centralized dashboards. The system reports load, voltage, battery status, temperature if sensors are present, and estimated runtime to help operators act proactively.
• Q: Is this unit suitable for data centers, enterprises, and telecom environments?
  A: Yes. The APC Symmetra RM XR Frame is designed for high-density IT deployments across data centers, enterprise networks, and telecom infrastructure, delivering scalable protection, reliable runtime, and centralized management to support mission-critical workloads.
