Whether you’re running a small data closet or a grow‑your‑infra network, this UPS combines reliability, efficiency, and proactive monitoring to ensure your operations stay online when it matters most.

• Unmatched power protection for mission-critical IT – The SRT 2200VA RM provides a high level of protection for servers, storage arrays, virtualization hosts, networking gear, and other essential equipment. Built on online double‑conversion topology, it delivers a clean, continuous output waveform (pure sine wave) even under fluctuating input conditions. This means sensitive hardware receives stable voltage, minimizing the risk of unexpected shutdowns, corrupted data, or hardware wear. The 2200 VA rating translates to ample reserve for short surges, runtime needs, and cohesive coordination with other protective devices in your data center. In practice, this translates to smoother system operation, fewer maintenance windows, and peace of mind during peak demand or power quality events.
• Integrated Network Card for seamless remote management – The included Network Card enables secure, remote monitoring and management across your network. IT teams gain visibility through web, SNMP, and command-line interfaces, with proactive alerts, event logging, and automatic shutdown capabilities to preserve running workloads during outages. Compatibility with PowerChute Network Shutdown and Schneider Electric EcoStruxure enterprise apps means you can orchestrate graceful shutdowns, automate policy enforcement, and integrate UPS health data into existing monitoring ecosystems. This feature is a force multiplier for IT operations, enabling faster response times, reduced on-site visits, and improved change control with auditable power events.
• Reliability features that extend hardware life and uptime – The Smart-UPS SRT family is built for longevity in demanding environments. It offers hot-swappable, user-replaceable batteries, advanced battery management, and automatic voltage regulation (AVR) to correct minor input fluctuations without drawing from the battery. The result is longer battery life, fewer replacements, and consistent protection even when mains quality is imperfect. Real-time health indicators, battery discharge notifications, and periodic self-tests ensure you’re never surprised by a failing component—enabling proactive maintenance planning and reduced risk of unexpected outages.
• Rack-mountable design with enterprise-grade versatility – This unit is purpose-built for standard 19-inch racks, making it a natural fit for data centers, server rooms, and high-density network closets. Its robust enclosure and integrated mounting options simplify installation and cable management while preserving access to front-panel status indicators and the LCD display. The RM (rack-mount) form factor helps you consolidate power protection in a compact footprint, streamlining rack space usage and reducing clutter. With scalable runtimes through additional battery modules, you can tailor protection to your workload profiles, ensuring steady performance during extended outages or maintenance windows.
• Energy efficiency, lifecycle value, and strong support – The SRT 2200VA RM demonstrates strong efficiency in normal operation and optimized energy use during battery operation. This translates into lower utility costs and cooler operation in the data center. Schneider Electric backs the Smart-UPS line with comprehensive warranties, global support, and a thriving ecosystem of compatible software, firmware updates, and integration tools. For organizations pursuing green IT goals, the combination of reliable power protection and efficient design supports uptime and sustainability objectives alike, making it a prudent long‑term investment for critical infrastructure.

how to install APC Smart-UPS SRT 2200VA RM 120V Network Card

• Unpack and inspect: Remove packaging, verify all components (UPS, Network Card, mounting rails, cables) are present and undamaged. Keep documentation handy for reference during setup.
• Mount in rack: Install the rails or brackets and secure the UPS in a standard 19-inch rack. Ensure front-panel components are accessible for status checks and configuration. Leave clearance around the unit for cooling and serviceability.
• Connect to loads and mains: Plug your critical devices into the UPS output outlets. Connect the UPS input to a dedicated 120V AC supply that matches the unit’s electrical specifications. Avoid overloading the outlets beyond rated power to maintain optimal protection.
• Configure network and management: Install the Network Card and connect the UPS to your network. Assign a static IP or use DHCP as appropriate for your environment, then access the management interface via the web browser or SNMP tools. Enable PowerChute Network Shutdown or equivalent software to automate orderly shutdowns during outages.
• Initial checks and testing: Power on the UPS and run the built-in self-test to verify operation. Confirm firmware versions, sensor readings, and battery status. If needed, perform a calibration routine per the user guide and schedule periodic self-tests to confirm continued reliability.
• Ongoing maintenance: Schedule battery health assessments and firmware updates during routine maintenance windows. Maintain inventory of spare batteries and verify network connectivity to sustain proactive monitoring and alerting workflows.
