Review on Schneider Electric Smart πŸ”Œ UPS Smartconnect SMTL1000RM2UC: Uninterruptible Power Supply by William Mathis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Replaces 2u APC SmartUPS 1500. Interesting.

Smartups 1500 Rack Mount LONG, ie deep. It works almost as deep as a 1U server. Also, SmartUPS is slightly thinner than this replacement device. Ah, but this block is "shorter". The old SmartUPS was on and required full depth rack rails. They rolled back and forth. This new block is a 3U vertical space but less than half the depth of the previous block. compromises? But I didn't want to put another solid block on top of this rack. I still can't remember who decided to put it "there" but I think it makes sense. (If there ever is a flood?) And I had extra room for this larger unit. But this APC block is not that heavy and smaller, so it's a win-win situation. Setup was generally easy. This also includes the supplied network application: nice. Oh, and they threw a cable! Ok, thanks APC! This unit is ideal for two mail racks. It's perfect for short racks, it's not really designed to sit on every desk or desk but I suppose it can be placed anywhere. And the face of this device looks very impressive. I really like the aluminum body of this model. It may be painful to take off at some point, but it looks great. 5*. And the face of this device looks very impressive.
