Rack-mounted power protection
The APC Smart-UPS X SMX1500RMI2UNC is a 2U rackmount UPS rated at 1500 VA and 1200 W for 230 V environments. It suits server rooms, network closets and edge sites that need clean, network-grade power for critical loads. The unit delivers pure sine-wave output and automatic voltage regulation to keep equipment running through brownouts and over-voltages.
Capacity and headroom
At 1200 W the UPS handles multi-core servers, storage arrays and switches with comfortable headroom for typical variable workloads. Extended-runtime design allows longer battery support than standard models, yet runtime still contracts under full 1200 W draw. Loads above 1200 W will trip the overload alarm and shut down the inverter, so plan connected equipment accordingly.
Build, connectivity and daily use
The 2U chassis fits standard 19-inch racks and provides ten rear outlets: eight IEC 320 C13 receptacles plus two IEC jumpers for daisy-chaining. A SmartSlot and USB port enable management cards or direct monitoring. Replaceable battery cartridge APCRBC115 swaps from the front without powering down the rack. Surge rating of 645 joules guards connected gear from transients.

Questions about this item
Will the SMX1500RMI2UNC accept power from my existing 160 V to 286 V source without adjustment?
The unit operates from 160 V to 286 V and can be adjusted to 151 V to 302 V, so your existing source falls within the standard range.
How can I verify the UPS is delivering clean 230 V output after installation?
The front LCD shows real-time output voltage and frequency (50/60 Hz ±3 Hz), and the USB or SmartSlot connection lets monitoring software confirm stable 230 V supply.
Which cables come in the box and which must I source separately for the ten rear outlets?
The UPS provides eight IEC 320 C13 outlets and two IEC jumpers; you will need C13-to-C14 leads for each connected device and a C13-to-C14 cord for the C14 input.
