The APC Smart-UPS On-Line SRT 3000VA is a premium, online double-conversion uninterruptible power supply designed for mission-critical equipment in data centers, network closets, healthcare environments, and telecom rooms. This 3kVA rack-mount UPS delivers clean, continuous power to sensitive servers, storage systems, network switches, and VoIP equipment even during severe brownouts or complete power outages. With a compact 2U rack footprint, 208V input and output, and a flexible mix of NEMA outlets (2x L6-20R and 1x L6-30R), it provides reliable, scalable protection for high-density IT deployments. The included rail kit simplifies installation in standard 19-inch racks, while the built-in LCD interface, remote management card, and extended runtime capabilities give you granular visibility and control. As a TAA-compliant model, this UPS meets procurement requirements for government and contractor environments, making it an ideal choice for data centers, enterprise IT rooms, and healthcare labs that demand consistent power quality. Whether you’re protecting a rack of critical servers or a small compute cluster, the APC Smart-UPS On-Line ensures you stay online long enough to gracefully shut down or switch to batteries during an outage, preserving data integrity and uptime.

• Online, double-conversion protection for sensitive equipment: The APC Smart-UPS On-Line SRT series delivers near-perfect power quality by continuously converting incoming AC power to DC and back to a pristine AC output. This design minimizes harmonic distortion, maintains a perfect sine wave under all load conditions, and provides immediate transfer to battery power with zero transfer time, safeguarding critical loads from voltage sags, surges, and outages. The result is consistent performance for servers, storage arrays, virtualization hosts, and network gear, even in unstable mains environments.
• 208V power with flexible NEMA outlets: Engineered for 208V data-center power distribution, this 3kVA UPS offers two L6-20R outlets and one L6-30R outlet, allowing you to support a mix of high-current devices and essential network gear from a single, compact unit. The outlets support high-efficiency racks and PDUs, enabling you to consolidate protection for multiple devices without sacrificing accessibility or power headroom. The 2U rack-mount form factor is designed for modern data centers and server rooms where space is at a premium, and your IT equipment benefits from a stable, tightly-regulated voltage during faults on the mains.
• Integrated network management and local LCD interface: The UPS includes a network management card for remote monitoring, alerting, and configuration across IP networks. An intuitive LCD panel provides real-time status, load, battery capacity, input/output voltages, and event history at a glance, so you can perform on-site checks quickly. With the network card, administrators can leverage SNMP, HTTP or other management protocols to monitor runtime, schedule automatic tests, and trigger graceful shutdowns for connected workloads, all while maintaining centralized control from the IT operations center.
• Extended runtime with scalable battery options: Extended runtime is a key feature of this APC model, designed to protect critical workloads during longer outages. The unit supports external battery modules (EBMs) that can be added to extend runtime for entire racks or dedicated servers. This flexibility is ideal for environments that require longer autonomous operation or maintenance windows. The hot-swappable internal batteries and modular architecture reduce downtime and simplify battery maintenance, enabling a cost-effective path to higher availability with predictable power resilience.
• Rail kit included for quick rack deployment; robust build for reliability and compliance: The included rail kit makes mounting the 2U UPS in standard 19-inch racks straightforward and secure, minimizing installation time and ensuring stable operation in busy data centers. The chassis is designed for demanding environments with rigorous vibration and temperature specifications, and the 3kVA online power module is compatible with modern IT racks that demand clean power and predictable performance. In addition, this model is TAA-compliant, aligning with government procurement requirements and enabling trusted deployments in regulated sectors.

How to install [product]

• Plan the rack layout: Identify a suitable rack location with adequate ventilation, clearance for rear cabling, and space for the rail kit included with the UPS. Verify that the rack can support the weight of the 2U UPS plus any external battery modules you plan to use.
• Install the rail kit: Secure the rail kit to the rack rails according to the included installation guide. Attach the UPS to the rails and slide it into the rack, ensuring stable alignment and proper clearance for airflow and cable management.
• Connect power and loads: Connect the 208V input power cord to a dedicated 208V supply or distribution panel. Route critical devices to the two L6-20R outlets and the L6-30R outlet as needed, keeping high-current loads balanced and accessible for maintenance. Leave space for cable management and future expansion.
• Configure and test: Power on the UPS, use the LCD interface to verify system status, load, and battery health. Install the Network Management Card if not pre-installed, assign an IP address, and configure alerts, shutdown policies, and battery test schedules using the switchgear or central monitoring system.
• Verify protection and runtime: Perform a controlled power-down test or simulated outage to confirm that the UPS provides seamless transfer to battery, maintains output within specification, and gracefully shuts down connected equipment if the battery run-time is insufficient for the load during an outage. Re-enable power and confirm normal operation after testing.
• Document and monitor: Record the serial number, firmware versions, network card details, and expected runtime. Set up ongoing monitoring with your preferred management tool to receive alerts and reports on battery health, temperature, load, and runtime projections for proactive maintenance.
