OVERVIEW
Uninterruptible power supplies from APC ® provide
incredible protection for your application. From servers to
midrange systems—even telecomm equipment—you know
you can rely on APC.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could customize your UPS for
greater reliability? Now you can!
Plug SmartSlot ™ Accessories into your UPS—the accessories
become an integral part of the UPS. Customization is that
easy!
Expansion Chassis
With the Expansion Chassis, you can integrate SmartSlot
Accessories with your Smart-UPS ® or Matrix-UPS ® —even if the
UPS is not SmartSlot equipped.
You can even use multiple SmartSlot Accessories with a
single UPS.
Attach a SmartSlot Expansion Chassis to any Smart-UPS or
Matrix-UPS serial port, and place a SmartSlot Accessory into
the Expansion Chassis. That’s all it takes to customize the UPS
to your specific application.
You can configure your UPS for multiple applications.
Two SmartSlot Expansion Chassis can be daisychained
together, enabling you to use the combined features of up
to three SmartSlot Accessories from one UPS installation.
UPS Interface Expander
If you’re managing multiple servers, particularly in a mixed
OS environment, the SmartSlot UPS Interface Expander along
with a Share-UPS
™ UPS Interface Expander (Product Data
Sheet 19022) are essential tools to properly manage signaling
servers from a single UPS.
The SmartSlot UPS Interface Expander provides two
additional ports to facilitate a safe system shutdown plus
advanced UPS management of up to three servers from one
UPS.
The SmartSlot UPS Interface Expander offers similar
multiple server shutdown capabilities to the APC Share-UPS,
in a three-port, integrated version.
Measure-UPS ™ II
Remotely monitor temperature, humidity, and other
environmental conditions via PowerChute ® plus, Call-UPS ™ II,
or PowerNet ® SNMP Adapters and Agents.
SmartSlot Measure-UPS II offers several benefits:
• Remote monitoring via sensor probe. Extendable probe
enables users to monitor environments up to 12 feet
(3.7 m) from the UPS or Measure-UPS. Models are avail-
able for temperature and humidity monitoring, or for
temperature only.
• Flexible sensor monitoring via dry contacts. Compatible
with closed- or open-loop sensors, even in the same zone.
Dry contacts come with a DC power source, allowing
more flexibility in sensor options.
Web/SNMP Management Card
Connect your Smart-UPS or Matrix-UPS to the network
in a 10BASE-T environment. With this Card, you can fully
manage and control the UPSs through a Web browser,
Telnet
™ , or SNMP.
Configure the Card locally with a serial connection from
a terminal session or with a special configuration utility
(included). Or remotely configure it using BootP, TFTP, or
FTP. You can also remotely reboot your networking equip-
ment if it locks up.
Call-UPS II
Manage a UPS with a SmartSlot from a remote site. Call-
UPS II provides complete UPS information, page-notification
of power problems, and the ability to reboot attached equip-
ment safely via a Call-UPS II Modem (ask Tech Support for
Modem details). Communicate with your UPS even
during power outages or when your server is down.
Relay I/O Module
Control and monitor power through a simple dry-contact
interface. With the Relay I/O Module, users can control Smart-
UPS or Matrix-UPS operations and receive critical UPS alarms,
functions that are normally available only through fileserver
or modem communications.
Remotely monitor the UPS battery and operation when
the power goes out. And safely reboot locked-up remote
devices.
NOTE: SmartSlot Accessories provide complete control of your
UPS by creating a power-management solution custom-tailored
to your application.
