APC 2000VA Overview

The APC Smart-UPS X-series Rack/Tower UPS with LCD (2000 VA) provides efficient power protection to your electrical equipment by maintaining a continuous supply in case of a power loss, and safeguards your equipment from surges, spikes, lightning, and electrical disturbances.

Designed for the energy-conscious consumer, the APC Smart-UPS is designed to increase control and efficiency, thereby helping the user save on utility costs. A unique feature of this UPS is the green mode, which bypasses unused electrical components in good power condition and saves energy, reducing the impact on the environment. If you're an energy-conscious consumer, then you'll appreciate the handy energy meter that helps you track the usage statistics of the UPS.

Improved diagnostic features of the Smart-UPS unit allow for enhanced monitoring, and keep you updated on any necessary maintenance well in advance. For instance, an audible alarm alerts you of events like changing utility power and UPS conditions, power outage, and low battery condition. The Smart-UPS also incorporates a notification process, which tells you the exact month and year when the battery is due for replacement so you can plan ahead of time. Predictive failure notification offers continuous worry-free operation by enabling you to fix a problem before it occurs. Thanks to hot-swap support, you can replace the battery on the fly without interrupting the surge protection functionality. In case of an over-load, the resettable circuit breakers will help you get back in business in no time. Additionally, the Smart-UPS allows you to individually control power flow to attached devices, enabling you to perform discrete sequenced on/off and reboot of hung devices and non-critical load shedding.

Boost and trim automatic voltage regulation outputs pure sine wave by correcting low and high voltage condition that makes this UPS suitable for use with active PFC servers and highly sensitive electronic equipment. An intelligent battery management system with precision charging prolongs battery life by charging the UPS as per its current temperature. Automatic periodic battery self tests will alert you in case of a problem with the battery so you can take the proper measures before it fails completely. An LED indicator lets you see the power and battery status at a glance. The UPS also features an automatic restart function, which will automatically power up devices after AC is restored.

An on-board LCD display, with multi-lingual support, provides clear and accurate information so you can configure the UPS using the navigation keys. You also can control and configure the UPS via a PC and connect it to a network for remote accessibility.

APC 2000VA Reviews

Solid Quality

By GruberKT
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-11-10

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been installing UPS systems for 8+ years, and this APC Smart-UPS X is my go-to for small to medium setups. The 2U rack/tower convertible design gives you flexibility if your setup changes, and the mix of outlet types (5-15R, 5-20R, and L5-20R NEMA) means you can plug in just about anything without adapters. The SmartSlot is perfect for adding remote monitoring, and the extended runtime actually works - one client stayed online through a 45-minute outage last month. It's a bit heavy, but that's the price of solid build quality. If you need reliable power protection with room to grow, this delivers every time.

Perfect for IDF

By ITPro
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-10-01

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unit is perfect for instances where there's only a standard 120V outlet available. Provides enough backup power and protection for IDF assets to ensure uptime and accessibility of corporate resources. Great that these units can be used as a tower or installed in rack with minimal effort. Has a clear to read LCD screen in front as well.

rack rail kit part number? (says "rails included" - but what kind?)
Asked by: Alex
Good day Alex. If you are referring to the UPS with Model No: SMX2000RMLV2U(https://www.apc.com/us/en/product/SMX2000RMLV2U/apc-smartups-x-line-interactive-2000va-rack-tower-convertible-2u-100v127v-3x-515r+3x-520r+1x-l520r-nema-smartslot-extended-runtime/), it really came with a rail kit(SU032A). Please contact our support team for Smart Ups so they can ship you the rail kit for that UPS. Thanks and have a great day.

What type of adapter do I need to plug this into a normal household (20amp) wall outlet?
Asked by: Bob
Thank you for your interest in our products. It would depend on what type of outlets you have at your house. If they are 20 amp outlets then yes it would work. I would just confirm that the outlet is a 20 amp outlet because if it is a 15amp outlet it would derate the UPS.

Can this UPS (SMX2000RMLV2UNC) be mounted in 2-post rack? I.e. can the included rail brackets be secured on the side?
Asked by: Alex
The included 2U rack ears / brackets can indeed be mounted on the side (midway, for balancing) using pre-drilled mount holes.
