How do I use the SmartConnect port?

Connect an RJ-45 cable to the SmartConnect port and follow the setup instructions for remote monitoring using the APC cloud service or your own monitoring solution.

What is Green Mode?

Green Mode is an operating mode that bypasses unused electrical components to achieve high operating efficiency, reducing energy consumption and costs.

Troubleshooting

UPS not powering on.

Check the power connection to the UPS and verify the power outlet is functioning. Check the power switch on the back of the unit.
