APC SMT750RM2U Smart UPS on my shallow server rack

[@RockyTopAviator]

Making me want to redo my rack, beefy equipment you have going in there, keep up the updates, love to see them, thanks!

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Jacob L. Thanks, will do!

You should pull the rails apart and trim them to side, easily done. Just file down the burrs.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@Iceking007 that’s an option 🍻

[@joshuaknight9089]

Hey old video but do you have a link to the rails?

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@joshuaknight9089 I mentioned they came with the UPS

[@VitalFed]

How about a network card behind? Does it exists at least?

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Vital Fed sorry but I’m probably not network savvy enough to understand what you’re asking

[@kimiZZZumi]

He is asking for the ups management card. That ups has the smartconnect+ built in but it's useless as it only connects to APC cloud system. You need a extra management card for this to use SNMP for example

Great review! I’m in the market for a ‘silent’ UPS. When you recorded the buzzing sound it looks like the battery was charging, which is normal. How quiet is it once the battery has charged and things settle down? Is there any fan noise or a high pitch noise? Thanks!

[@HelpMeDIY]

+zlad7 I never hear it!

[@zlad7687]

@@HelpMeDIY Even if you record it close up as you did in your video? I am going to be sitting in a room with the rack and my rack is otherwise silent!

[@HelpMeDIY]

@@zlad7687 nothing. I can hear the NAS above it, but nothing from the APC

I'm about to get a similar UPS/Rack, but never thought about this. How deep is your rack? Thanks!

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Juan Carlos González Delgado I thought I measured it in this video. If not, I have another video on the rack and a link to the rack in the description

[@davidpeters7447]

What is the depth of the UPS?

[@HelpMeDIY]

+David Peters 11 3/4 inches. Just measured 😉

[@maciejduda8742]

Is it necessary to turn off this UPS while replacing the batteries?

[@HelpMeDIY]

+Maciej Duda I’ve never replaced the batteries or researched it so I’m not sure

[@Bpinator]

No, all APC SmartUPS models are hot swappable

[@Savagetechie]

forgive me for asking the obvious question but why didn't you just shorten the rails?

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@Savagetechie you mean cut them?

[@Savagetechie]

@@HelpMeDIY yes

[@BerserkeR_031]

@@HelpMeDIY I have both rails, one reasonably short depth because someone cut them with an angle grinder (nicely) and one full length up to 90cm.
