APC SMX3000LVUS

Overview

The APC SMX3000LVUS is a line-interactive uninterruptible power supply designed to provide 3000VA (2700W) of pure sine wave power, ensuring that servers, switches, and other critical electronics remain operational during power fluctuations or outages. It operates within a 100V to 127V range and features a versatile 4U chassis that can be mounted in a rack or used as a tower, making it suitable for environments with limited rack depth or floor space. This UPS is ideal for maintaining network access and protecting sensitive equipment in branch offices, retail stores, and data closets.

Key features

• Delivers clean, pure sine wave output to protect sensitive electronics from power disturbances.
• Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) corrects minor voltage sags and surges without switching to battery, preserving battery life for actual outages.
• Includes ten protected outlets with a mix of six NEMA 5-15R, three NEMA 5-20R, and one locking NEMA L5-30R to accommodate a variety of devices and power requirements.
• Supports external battery packs to extend runtime during prolonged power interruptions, ensuring continuous operation when backup generators are not immediately available.
• Equipped with a clear LCD screen that displays load levels, runtime estimates, and configuration menus in straightforward language for easy monitoring and management on site.
• SmartSlot expansion allows installation of an optional network management card for remote monitoring, SNMP integration, and automated server shutdown.
• Emergency Power Off (EPO) connector enables rapid shutdown of the UPS in case of fire or other emergencies, enhancing safety protocols.
• Flexible installation options with a short-depth 4U chassis that fits shallow racks or can stand upright on the floor.
• Comes with an eight-foot power cord featuring a NEMA L5-30P plug, simplifying connection to distant wall outlets without additional extension cords.
• Backed by a three-year UPS warranty, two-year battery warranty, and a connected equipment protection policy covering up to $150,000, providing strong assurance for critical hardware protection.
• Complies with TAA requirements, making it suitable for federal and public sector procurement.

Connectivity and compatibility

This UPS supports a wide range of equipment through its diverse outlet types, accommodating standard and higher current devices as well as equipment requiring a locking power connection. The SmartSlot interface allows integration of network management cards, enabling remote monitoring and control via web access or SNMP, which is essential for managing servers and network devices in IT environments. The Emergency Power Off connector adds an extra layer of safety by allowing facility managers to quickly power down the unit if necessary.

Installation and setup

The compact 4U chassis is designed for flexible deployment, fitting into racks with limited depth or standing upright on the floor when rack space is unavailable. The included eight-foot power cord with a locking plug reduces the need for additional extension cables, simplifying installation in data closets or equipment rooms. The LCD interface provides clear, user-friendly status updates and configuration options, making it straightforward for on-site personnel to monitor and adjust settings without specialized training.

Ideal uses and environments

This UPS is well suited to environments where reliable power backup is critical, such as branch offices, retail locations, and small to medium data centers. It supports continuous operation of network infrastructure, point-of-sale systems, and servers during power disturbances or outages. Its ability to extend runtime with external battery packs makes it a strong choice for setups that require longer backup periods without immediate generator support. The TAA compliance and connected equipment protection also make it a practical option for government and public sector deployments.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
