Introduction
This APC Smart-UPS is a modular Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for high availability
applications such as data centers and mission critical processes, designed to prevent blackouts,
brownouts, sags, and surges from reaching your equipment. The UPS filters small utility line fluctuations and isolates your equipment from large disturbances by internally disconnecting from the utility
line. The UPS provides continuous power from its internal battery until the utility line returns to safe
levels or the battery is fully discharged.
