Good, sturdy product
on July 22, 2011
Posted by: CBeck

Purchased 2 of these and as with any APC product, works great, sturdy, and easy to install. My only issue (which is minor) is that I wish the front bezel snapped a little more snugly, or had a release lever. It's too loose and feels like you can bump into it and it will fall off. But it won't stop me from purchasing more of these units.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works well

The UPS functions flawlessly, just like all other APC UPS's that I have bought.
It does look different from the picture however. The one in the picture has a front cover. The one I got did not. Mine looks much more industrial.

Works very well and has digital status display

This unit will fit both 4 post racks (cabinets) and will stand alone (as feet it can sit in), 9 I have 3 servers from this and it seems to detect all power problems even "distorted power", which is a lot better than the CyberPower units (i have sold many of both).
It runs very cool, has power grouping of outlets, an expansion slot (which i will be using the Management Card 2), this one also has the extended battery option (see below for differences).
The SMX series also has the EPO connector (Emergency Power Off) which is another button that can be bought to allow you to turn this unit off instantly if you think there might be a problem (like a fire in the servers and super storm that you don’t want to have issues with).
It also has a front mounted digital display that if set to "advanced" will tell you how much power is being drawn, what the reason was for the last power transfer and other details, the screen updates every 5-10 seconds.
I have a 600 deep cabinet and this unit fitted after i cut about 2inches from the fixing rail kit as it was to long (they made it fit 1000mm deep cabinets).
There are a number of these units:
SMT has no extended battery connector (and most don’t have the EPO connector)
SMX has the extended battery connector
SMT has no extended battery connector (and most don’t have the EPO connector)
SMX has the extended battery connector
There are older versions of both that do not have the digital display on the front and are lower efficiency as look more “industrial”

Great UPS

My growing medical practice has had great success with the APC. We purchase them from Network Doctor in Englewood Cliffs NJ. They provide great support and really help us maximize the productivity. We have used them to run the EMR servers and Network Doctor really makes the process easy to order APC equipment, get them installed and get new servers up and running. I recommend the Network Doctor to install APC UPS equipment.

The One Product You Should Consider
on April 11, 2017
Posted by: esstek

I believe this product is *the* most useful product of everything APC manufactures, within limits. It has that sweet spot of value and features, divided by the cost, that probably no other product, particularly other UPSes, offers. You should definitely consider this UPS if you're looking for the biggest bang for your buck, at least with 120V input connection. You will like it!
