APC by Schneider Electric Smart-UPS SMX2000LVUS 2000KVA Tower/Rack Convertible UPS - 4U Tower/Rack Convertible - 3 Hour Recharge - 11 Minute Stand-by - 120 V AC Input - 120 V AC Output - 2 x NEMA L6-2

The APC Smart-UPS SMX2000LVUS is a 4U, 120V tower/rack-convertible UPS with two NEMA L6-2 connections, suited to organizations protecting servers and network equipment that need flexible installation options.

Recommended For

• Small-business IT teams protecting servers, switches, routers, or other network equipment that need battery backup and time for an orderly shutdown during a power interruption.
• Businesses running point-of-sale equipment that need a rack- or tower-installable UPS for checkout and related equipment.
• IT or facilities teams that need to fit a UPS into a rack or use it as a tower, and can accommodate a 4U, approximately 85-pound unit.
• Organizations that need longer backup runtime for critical equipment and are prepared to add compatible external battery packs as their runtime needs grow.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• In a small server room or rack, an IT team connects servers and network equipment to the UPS so brief outages do not immediately interrupt service; battery runtime gives equipment time to ride out a short disruption or begin an orderly shutdown.
• For a NAS or file server that should not lose data during a power cut, an administrator can use UPS monitoring and shutdown settings to give the system time to close services and shut down cleanly; the actual time available depends on the connected load and battery condition.
• In a network closet, a business can keep essential network equipment running through a brief outage, helping maintain connectivity while utility power returns or staff arrange a controlled shutdown.
• Where a standard battery runtime is not enough, a site can pair the UPS with compatible external battery packs to extend backup time for critical equipment; runtime still varies with the load.
• For a rack installation that may later move to a different setup, the convertible tower/rack design lets an IT team deploy the UPS in either orientation, subject to suitable space and mounting support.
