Description
APC Smart-UPS X SMX3KR2UNCX145 — 3kVA Rack/Tower Convertible with Extended Runtime Architecture
The SMX3KR2UNCX145 is a 3000VA / 2700W 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: 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.
- Automatic Voltage Regulation: 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.
- AP9641 NMC3 Included: Out-of-box SNMP/web management and EcoStruxure IT integration. No accessory purchase required.
- PowerChute Network Shutdown: Graceful shutdown coordination for physical servers, hypervisors (VMware, Hyper-V, KVM), and HCI clusters.

Ideal Applications and Industries
- Data Centers and Server Rooms: Protects rack-mounted servers, switches, and storage arrays from utility events that cause unplanned shutdowns, file system corruption, or hardware damage.
- Healthcare and Medical Facilities: Supports patient monitoring systems, laboratory equipment, and EMR infrastructure where NFPA 99 essential power requirements demand reliable battery-backed operation.
- Government and TAA-Compliant Deployments: Specify-friendly UPS for federal, state, and local IT environments where procurement requires verified country-of-origin compliance.
- Financial Services and Banking: Maintains transaction processing systems, ATM controllers, and branch office networks through brownouts and brief outages.
- Network Closets and Branch Offices: Quiet, compact protection for distributed network infrastructure where on-site IT support is limited.
Questyme Helps You Specify Correctly the First Time
Returning the wrong UPS is expensive — wrong voltage, wrong outlets, wrong form factor for the rack you have. Questyme's power specialists walk through your specific environment before you place an order, so the unit fits the deployment on day one. Speak with a Questyme expert.
