What is the APC Smart-UPS C 2000VA 2U (SMC2000i-2U)?
The APC SMC2000i-2U is an entry-to-mid-level rackmount uninterruptible power supply engineered by Schneider Electric. Designed specifically for server rooms, network closets, and commercial retail environments, this 2U unit bridges the gap between basic desktop power backup and complex double-conversion online systems. It delivers clean pure sine wave power on battery, which is essential for protecting delicate server components and modern high-efficiency power supplies.
Real-World Infrastructure Problem Solved
Power fluctuations, sags, and unexpected utility blackouts can cause ungraceful server shutdowns, corrupt database files, and permanent physical hardware damage. The APC SMC2000i-2U eliminates these risks by providing instant battery takeover during blackouts and active AVR protection during brownouts. With USB and Serial management ports, IT administrators can configure automated, unattended shutdowns for server hosts, minimizing system recovery time after power returns.
Key Considerations Before Buying
- Wattage Headroom: Confirm that your total connected IT load does not exceed 1300 Watts.
- Rack Physical Depth: Ensure your 19-inch rack enclosure has sufficient depth to accommodate 47 cm unit depth plus cable clearance.
- PDU / Outlet Mapping: Check that your equipment uses C13 connections or utilize intermediate rack PDU power cables.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the APC SMC2000i-2U keep my equipment running during an outage?
Runtime depends on total connected power load. At a 50% load (~650W), it offers approximately 11 to 14 minutes of runtime. At maximum full load (1300W), backup time is approximately 3 to 4 minutes, giving your IT team or PowerChute software time to initiate an orderly server shutdown.
Can I mount this unit into a 2-post network frame?
Yes, standard rack-mounting ears are included for 4-post racks, and 2-post relay racks can be accommodated with proper 2U rail kit accessories.
How does the Al Ershad Trade-In program work for business upgrades?

ما هي مدة تشغيل البطارية لجهاز APC SMC2000i-2U أثناء انقطاع التيار؟
تعتمد المدة على إجمالي الحمل. عند حمل 50% (حوالي 650 واط)، يوفر الجهاز طاقة احتياطية تتراوح بين 11 و14 دقيقة. عند الحمل الكامل (1300 واط)، تبلغ المدة حوالي 3 إلى 4 دقائق، مما يتيح وقتاً كافياً لإغلاق الأنظمة بأمان.
هل يمكن تثبيت مزود الطاقة في كبينة ثنائية القوائم (2-Post)؟
نعم، يأتي الجهاز مع زوايا تثبيت قياسية مقاس 2U متوافقة مع كبينات الخوادم ذات القوائم الأربعة أو القائمين عند استخدام طقم القضبان المناسب.
كيف يمكنني الاستفادة من برنامج الاستبدال (Trade-In) لدى الإرشاد؟
يمكنك تسليم أجهزة الخوادم أو مزودات الطاقة القديمة في فرعنا بمركز العين (كمبيوتر بلازا) في دبي للحصول على تقييم فوري وتطبيق قيمتها كخصم على مشترياتك الجديدة.
