Where most UPS units lock you into the runtime they ship with, the Smart-UPS X (SMX) platform separates runtime from the base unit — letting you size the UPS for your load today and add runtime tomorrow as requirements evolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Extended Runtime Architecture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard internal battery runtime sits in the minutes range under typical load. For data centers with reliable generator backup and 30-second transfer time, that is enough. For sites without generators, or with longer transfer windows, internal-only runtime is the wrong question. The SMX architecture solves this by allowing post-purchase runtime scaling — add packs as your runtime target grows without replacing the UPS itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExternal Battery Pack Support:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 10 SMX battery packs in series — runtime scales linearly with pack count.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRack\/Tower Convertible:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2U Rack\/Tower Convertible chassis fits standard 19-inch racks or deploys as a tower without rail kit modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePure Sine Wave Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pure sine wave output reproduces the smooth waveform of utility power, which sensitive electronics — active power-factor-corrected (PFC) server power supplies in particular — require to operate without errors or premature failure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic Voltage Regulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic Voltage Regulation corrects undervoltage (brownouts) and overvoltage events without transferring to battery, conserving battery life for true outages and extending overall service life of the unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmartSlot Expansion:\u003c\/strong\u003e A SmartSlot accessory bay accepts optional Network Management Cards (AP9641, AP9643), environmental sensors, and dry-contact relay modules — useful for facilities that require SNMP integration, building management system tie-in, or PowerChute Network Shutdown of virtualized workloads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePowerChute Network Shutdown:\u003c\/strong\u003e Graceful shutdown coordination for physical servers, hypervisors (VMware, Hyper-V, KVM), and HCI clusters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVA \/ Watts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1500VA \/ 1000W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTopology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLine Interactive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput Waveform\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePure Sine Wave\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForm Factor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2U Rack\/Tower Convertible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExternal Battery Support\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 10 SMX battery packs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManagement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmartSlot bay (NMC accessory available)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTAA Compliance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes — federal procurement and GSA Schedule eligible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-year UPS \/ 2-year battery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal Applications and Industries\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServer Rooms and Network Cores:\u003c\/strong\u003e Backbone protection for core switches, firewalls, and DNS\/DHCP infrastructure where a power blip causes hours of recovery work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImaging, Radiology, and Lab Workstations:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prevents loss of in-progress studies, scan results, and dictation work during voltage events.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTAA \/ Trade Agreements Act Compliant Procurement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eligible for GSA Schedule purchasing where verified country-of-origin is a contract requirement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoIP Phone Systems and Communications:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keeps call manager appliances, SBCs, and PoE switches online for sustained voice service during outages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurveillance and Physical Security:\u003c\/strong\u003e Continuous power for NVRs, access control panels, and IP camera networks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestyme Helps You Specify Correctly the First Time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReturning the wrong UPS is expensive — wrong voltage, wrong outlets, wrong form factor for the rack you have.
