APC Smart-UPS Li-ion SCL500RMI1UNC - 4x C13, short depth, Rack/tower/wall mount, NMC, 500VA

The APC Smart-UPS Li-ion SCL500RMI1UNC is a compact 1U rackmount line-interactive UPS providing 500 VA (0.5 kVA) and 400 W of output power. It includes four C13 outlets and a built-in network management interface for remote monitoring and controlled shutdowns. The unit uses a Li-Ion (LiFePO4) battery for extended service life and is convertible for rack, tower or wall mounting, making it suitable for small business and IT environments where space and reliability matter.

Advantages

The Li-Ion battery offers a longer lifespan (up to 10 years), more charge cycles than VRLA, lighter weight and smaller dimensions, faster charging and better performance at higher ambient temperatures. The UPS provides surge protection and automatic emergency power on mains failure, and can perform controlled shutdowns of connected servers via PowerChute Network Shutdown. The compact depth and included mounting brackets enable flexible installation in racks, on walls or as a tower unit. A five-year manufacturer warranty on the UPS including the battery is provided.

Suitable for

• Small office and business server closets
• Network equipment such as switches and routers
• Single-server or small virtualized environments
• Wall- or rack-mounted installations with limited depth

How to use

Install the UPS in a rack using the supplied front-post brackets, set it upright as a tower with the included feet, or attach it to a wall using the wall-mount brackets. Connect critical equipment to the four C13 outlets and connect the UPS to the network via the integrated network management card for remote monitoring. Configure the PowerChute Network Shutdown software on your servers to enable automatic and orderly shutdown when battery runtime becomes critically low. Consult the runtime chart to estimate battery life at your expected load.

Recommendations

For optimal battery life and performance, place the UPS in a ventilated location with ambient temperature near or below 25°C, perform periodic self-tests, and ensure network management and PowerChute software are configured and updated. Consider the optional support contract and PowerChute HCI/virtual machine licenses for additional features and long-term updates.
