FAQ

Q: Why is pure sine wave output important for servers?
A: Modern servers and networking equipment use active power factor correction (PFC) power supplies that require a clean sine wave input. A simulated or stepped sine wave UPS can cause compatibility issues or even damage to PFC power supplies, whereas pure sine wave output ensures full compatibility.

Q: What is the input voltage range supported by the SMC2000I-2U?
A: The UPS accepts input voltages from 180V to 287V, making it well suited to the UAE and GCC power environment where mains voltage can fluctuate. The unit automatically regulates output without switching to battery for voltages within this range.

Q: Can the SMC2000I-2U be managed remotely?
A: The USB management port allows connection to a host server running APC PowerChute software, enabling scheduled shutdowns, event logging, and UPS monitoring over the network for integrated data centre management.
