OVERVIEW
Uninterruptible power supplies from APC®provide incredible protection for your application. From servers to midrange systems—even telecomm equipment—you know you can rely on APC.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could customize your UPS for greater reliability? Now you can!
Plug SmartSlot
Accessories into your UPS—the accessories become an integral part of the UPS. Customization is that easy!
Expansion Chassis
With the Expansion Chassis, you can integrate SmartSlot
Accessories with your Smart-UPS
®
or Matrix-UPS®—even if the
UPS is not SmartSlot equipped.
You can even use multiple SmartSlot Accessories with a
single UPS.
Attach a SmartSlot Expansion Chassis to any Smart-UPS or Matrix-UPS serial port, and place a SmartSlot Accessory into the Expansion Chassis. That’s all it takes to customize the UPS to your specific application.
You can configure your UPS for multiple applications. TwoSmartSlot Expansion Chassis can be daisychained together , enabling you to use the combined features of up to three SmartSlot Accessories from one UPS installation.
UPS Interface Expander
If you’re managing multiple servers, particularly in a mixed OS environment, the SmartSlot UPS Interface Expander along with a Share-UPS
UPS Interface Expander (Product Data Sheet 19022) are essential tools to properly manage signaling servers from a single UPS.
The SmartSlot UPS Interface Expander provides two additional ports to facilitate a safe system shutdown plus advanced UPS management of up to three servers from one UPS.
The SmartSlot UPS Interface Expander offers similar multiple server shutdown capabilities to the APC Share-UPS, in a three-port, integrated version.
Measure-UPS™II
Remotely monitor temperature, humidity, and other environmental conditions via PowerChute
®
plus, Call-UPS™II,
or PowerNet
®
SNMP Adapters and Agents.
SmartSlot Measure-UPS II offers several benefits:
• Remote monitoring via sensor probe. Extendable probe enables users to monitor environments up to 12 feet (3.7 m) from the UPS or Measure-UPS. Models are avail­able for temperature and humidity monitoring, or for temperature only.
• Flexible sensor monitoring via dry contacts. Compatible with closed- or open-loop sensors, even in the same zone. Dry contacts come with a DC power source, allowing more flexibility in sensor options.
Web/SNMP Management Card
Connect your Smart-UPS or Matrix-UPS to the network in a 10BASE-T environment. With this Card, you can fully manage and control the UPSs through a Web browser, Telnet
, or SNMP.
Configure the Card locally with a serial connection from a terminal session or with a special configuration utility (included). Or remotely configure it using BootP, TFTP, or FTP. You can also remotely reboot your networking equip­ment if it locks up.
Call-UPS II
Manage a UPS with a SmartSlot from a remote site. Call­UPS II provides complete UPS information, page-notification of power problems, and the ability to reboot attached equip­ment safely via a Call-UPS II Modem (ask Tech Support for Modem details). Communicate with your UPS even during power outages or when your server is down.
Relay I/O Module
Control and monitor power through a simple dry-contact interface. With the Relay I/O Module, users can control Smart­UPS or Matrix-UPS operations and receive critical UPS alarms, functions that are normally available only through fileserver or modem communications.
Remotely monitor the UPS battery and operation when the power goes out. And safely reboot locked-up remote devices.
NOTE: SmartSlot Accessories provide complete control of your UPS by creating a power-management solution custom-tailored to your application.

Recognize any of these situations?
• You wait more than 30 minutes to get through to a vendor’s tech support.
• The so-called “tech” can’t help you or gives you the wrong answer.
• You don’t have a purchase order number and the tech refuses to help you.
• It’s 9 p. m. and you need help, but your vendor’s tech support line is closed.
According to a survey by Data Communications magazine, 90% of network managers surveyed say that getting the technical support they need is extremely important when choosing a vendor . But even though network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of their overall purchase price for a basic service and support contract, the technical support and service they receive falls far short of their expectations—and certainly isn’t worth what they paid.
At Black Box, we guarantee the best value and the best support. You can even consult our Technical Support Experts before you buy if you need help selecting just the right component for your application.
Don’t waste time and money—call Black Box today.
