Description
APC Smart-UPS X SMX2200RMHV2U — 2200VA Rack/Tower Convertible with Extended Runtime Architecture
The SMX2200RMHV2U is a 2200VA / 1980W line-interactive UPS with a defining capability: support for up to 10 external battery packs. 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.
The Extended Runtime Architecture
Standard 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.
Key Features
- External Battery Pack Support: Up to 10 SMX battery packs in series — runtime scales linearly with pack count.
- Rack/Tower Convertible: 2U Rack/Tower Convertible chassis fits standard 19-inch racks or deploys as a tower without rail kit modification.
- Pure Sine Wave Output: Delivers a clean pure sine wave to connected equipment. Active PFC power supplies common in modern servers and storage arrays will throw errors or shut down on the simulated/stepped-wave output produced by entry-level UPS units; pure sine eliminates that risk.
- Automatic Voltage Regulation: AVR uses a buck-and-boost transformer stage to bring out-of-range utility voltage back to nominal levels in real time. The UPS only transitions to battery for true outages, which significantly extends battery service life.
- SmartSlot Expansion: The SmartSlot bay accepts APC accessory cards including the AP9641 Network Management Card 3 for SNMP/web management, environmental monitoring modules, and dry-contact modules for building automation integration.
- PowerChute Network Shutdown: Graceful shutdown coordination for physical servers, hypervisors (VMware, Hyper-V, KVM), and HCI clusters.

Ideal Applications and Industries
- Enterprise IT and Virtualization Hosts: Coordinates graceful shutdown of physical and virtual servers through PowerChute Network Shutdown when extended outages exceed runtime.
- Healthcare Diagnostic Equipment: Reliable backup power for imaging workstations, telemetry hubs, and lab analyzers where data integrity depends on clean shutdowns.
- Federal, State, and Local Government: Meets specification requirements for U.S.-aligned procurement programs; TAA-compliant variants available where required.
- Manufacturing and Industrial Controls: Powers PLCs, HMIs, and supervisory control workstations that cannot tolerate the brief voltage dips common to industrial environments.
- Retail Point-of-Sale and Hospitality: Keeps POS terminals, payment processors, and front-of-house systems online during transient power disturbances.
