    What are the power specifications and capacity of the SMX2200RMHV2U?
    The SMX2200RMHV2U delivers 2200 VA (2.2 kVA) of power capacity with a maximum load capacity of 1980 watts. It accepts input voltages of 208V or 230V and provides clean sine wave output at 208V AC or 230V AC. The UPS offers surge protection with a 645 joule energy rating and features a fast 4-millisecond transfer time to battery power during outages, ensuring minimal disruption to connected equipment.
    How long can the SMX2200RMHV2U provide backup power during an outage?
    The backup runtime depends on the connected load. At full load (1980W), the SMX2200RMHV2U provides approximately 10 minutes of backup power. At half load (990W), it extends to approximately 25 minutes of runtime. The sealed, maintenance-free lead-acid battery typically recharges in 3 hours after a power outage. These runtimes allow sufficient time for graceful system shutdowns or for brief power interruptions to pass.
    What outlets and connectivity options does the SMX2200RMHV2U offer?
    The UPS features 11 total outlets: 8x IEC 320 C13 outlets and 1x IEC 320 C19 outlet for equipment connections. It includes an IEC 320 C20 input with multiple power cord options (BS1363A, IEC 320 C20, and Schuko CEE 7/EU1-16P). The unit provides both USB and serial port connectivity for monitoring and management. Additionally, it has one SmartSlot expansion slot for optional Network Management Cards and features 3 switchable outlet groups for granular power management.
    Can the SMX2200RMHV2U be mounted in both tower and rack configurations?
    Yes, the SMX2200RMHV2U is designed for dual mounting flexibility. It can operate as a tower unit using the included stabilizing feet or be rack-mounted using the provided rack-mounting brackets. In rack configuration, it occupies 2U of rack space with dimensions of 17" width x 3.3" height x 26.3" depth. The unit weighs approximately 82.28 pounds and is designed for front mounting with a lower mounting preference in rack installations.
