Description
APC Smart-UPS X SMX2000LVUS — 2kVA Rack/Tower Convertible with Extended Runtime Architecture
The SMX2000LVUS is a 2000VA / 1800W 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: 4U Rack/Tower Convertible chassis fits standard 19-inch racks or deploys as a tower without rail kit modification.
- Pure Sine Wave Output: The pure sine wave inverter matches the waveform of utility power, ensuring compatibility with active PFC server power supplies, medical-grade equipment, and other devices that reject approximated waveforms.
- Automatic Voltage Regulation: When utility voltage drifts outside acceptable thresholds, AVR corrects the output without engaging the battery, reducing battery cycling and extending replacement intervals — a practical TCO benefit over the life of the UPS.
- SmartSlot Expansion: SmartSlot expansion allows post-purchase addition of network management, environmental sensors, or contact closure modules without replacing the UPS.
- PowerChute Network Shutdown: Graceful shutdown coordination for physical servers, hypervisors (VMware, Hyper-V, KVM), and HCI clusters.
