Power rating and application

The APC SMX3000HVNC is a 3000 VA, 2700 W Smart-UPS designed for servers, storage and network equipment. It delivers pure sine wave output on battery and includes a 16-segment LED display with automatic voltage regulation across a 140 to 280 V input range. The unit operates at 208 V or 230 V and accepts 47 to 63 Hz input frequency.

Replacement and upgrade value

It replaces smaller VA units or non-sine-wave backups when connected loads approach 2700 W or when extended runtime via external battery packs is required. The jump is worth it for installations that need high-efficiency operation at variable loads and the ability to scale runtime from minutes to hours without replacing the UPS. The Smart-Slot allows optional management cards for network monitoring.

Installation and common issues

The tower or rack-mountable chassis measures 7.00 x 17.00 x 19.00 inches and weighs 85.00 lbs, so two-person handling or a lift is advised for rack mounting. Input connections include British BS1363A, IEC-320 C20 and Schuko CEE 7/EU1-16P plugs; verify the correct cord for your region. Battery replacement uses the APCRBC143 cartridge; forgetting to disable the alarm before hot-swapping is a frequent oversight.

Questions about this item

What rack depth and clearance does the 7.00" x 17.00" x 19.00" chassis need for mounting?

The unit measures 7.00 inches high, 17.00 inches wide and 19.00 inches deep, fitting a standard 19-inch rack with 4U space; allow extra depth for rear cables and ventilation.

How do I connect the British BS1363A, IEC-320 C20 or Schuko CEE 7/EU1-16P input, and what step is often missed?

Plug the supplied cord into a 208V or 230V circuit within the 140-280V range, then configure the input voltage setting on the 16-segment LED display before powering on loads.

Which battery cartridge replaces the internal sealed lead-acid pack when runtime drops?

Order the APCRBC143 replacement cartridge; the UPS supports hot-swap replacement so you can change the battery without shutting down connected equipment.
