UPS APC Smart-UPS On-Line 1000VA rackmount 3U

The APC Smart-UPS On-Line 1000VA Rackmount 3U is a double-conversion UPS designed for rack installations to maintain business uptime and continuity. It delivers pure sine wave output and extended runtime to support critical IT equipment during power disruptions. The unit includes an IEC 320 C14 input, eight IEC 320 C13 outlets, a SmartSlot for an optional Network Management Card, and a 3U form factor with an included rail kit for straightforward rack installation.

Advantages

This UPS provides continuous, clean power through on-line double-conversion topology, with a 900 W output capacity and 1 kVA rating suitable for small server racks and network closets. The built-in SmartSlot enables graceful shutdown of physical servers, virtual machines and HCI clusters via PowerChute Network Shutdown when a network management card is installed. The lithium-ion battery offers long service life and fast recharge (approximately 6 hours), and the unit carries a 5-year warranty covering both the UPS and its battery.

Suitable for

• Small to medium rack-mounted servers
• Network switches and routers in server rooms
• Edge IT, telecommunications equipment and HCI nodes
• Environments requiring centralized monitoring (EcoStruxure IT or third-party platforms)

How to use

Install the UPS into a compatible 19-inch rack using the supplied rail kit and secure per rack manufacturer instructions. Connect input power via the IEC 320 C14 inlet to a properly rated upstream breaker or PDU. Plug protected equipment into the eight IEC 320 C13 outlets. If centralized management is required, install the optional Network Management Card into the SmartSlot and configure PowerChute Network Shutdown or connect to EcoStruxure IT or another supported management platform. Monitor status via the UPS management interfaces and follow standard procedures for load planning to ensure runtime meets requirements.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, size the UPS to provide sufficient runtime for the connected load, perform periodic battery and firmware checks, and integrate the UPS with network monitoring for automated graceful shutdowns of servers and virtualized infrastructure.
