Troubleshooting

UPS not turning on.

Check the power connection to the UPS and ensure the wall outlet is working. Verify the power button is pressed firmly and held for a few seconds. If the issue persists, contact APC support.

Ensure the UPS is powered on and the input power is connected. Check the battery status in the SmartConnect portal to ensure the battery is charged. Verify the connections to the devices. If the problem persists, the battery may need to be replaced.

SmartConnect is not working.

Ensure the UPS is connected to the network via Ethernet. Verify your internet connection. Check your SmartConnect subscription status. If issues remain, consult the SmartConnect troubleshooting guide.
