APC Easy UPS On-Line SRV 1000VA RM 230V

APC Easy UPS On-Line SRV 1000VA RM brings enterprise-grade double-conversion technology to space-conscious IT environments. This 2U rackmount unit delivers 800W of continuously conditioned power, making it an intelligent choice for server rooms, network closets, and equipment racks where vertical space comes at a premium.

Double-Conversion Design in Rack Form

Like its tower counterpart, the APC Easy UPS On-Line SRV 1000VA RM employs true online topology that converts incoming power twice—from AC to DC, then back to perfectly regulated AC. Your rack-mounted servers, switches, storage arrays, and telecommunications equipment receive electrically isolated, pure sine wave power with zero transfer time during power events. When utility power deteriorates or fails, connected equipment experiences absolutely no interruption.

Why Rack-Mounted Power Protection Matters

The APC Easy UPS On-Line SRV 1000VA RM integrates seamlessly into standard 19-inch equipment racks, positioning power protection exactly where you need it—adjacent to the equipment it safeguards. This proximity reduces cable runs, minimizes voltage drop, and simplifies power management in dense rack configurations.

The 2U height allows you to stack multiple units for redundant power configurations or to protect different equipment segments with dedicated UPS systems. Rail-mounting hardware (included) ensures secure installation, and the front-panel controls remain accessible even in deep rack installations.

Power Quality That Matters

Continuous double-conversion means the APC Easy UPS On-Line SRV 1000VA RM handles every power problem—voltage fluctuations, frequency variations, harmonic distortion, and electrical noise—before any of it reaches your equipment. The output maintains rock-solid 230V ±2% regulation and 50Hz ±0.1Hz frequency stability regardless of input conditions.

This level of conditioning proves invaluable for sensitive network equipment, blade servers, fiber channel switches, and storage controllers where even minor power irregularities can trigger protective shutdowns or data errors. The near-unity input power factor (0.99) also reduces heat generation and draws less current from branch circuits, allowing you to connect more equipment to existing electrical infrastructure.

Battery Performance and Management

Internal sealed lead-acid batteries provide backup runtime scaled to your load. At full 800W load, expect several minutes of battery support—sufficient for most brief outages or to initiate proper shutdown sequences. Reduce the load to 400W, and runtime typically extends to 10-15 minutes, giving you flexibility during extended power events.

The APC Easy UPS On-Line SRV 1000VA RM incorporates intelligent battery management with temperature-compensated charging that adapts charging parameters based on ambient conditions. This extends battery service life while maintaining readiness. Automatic self-testing periodically verifies battery health without administrator intervention, alerting you well before replacement becomes urgent.

Monitoring Through Multiple Channels

The front-mounted LCD panel displays real-time metrics including input voltage, output voltage, load percentage, battery charge level, and estimated runtime remaining. Status LEDs provide at-a-glance confirmation of normal operation, while audible alarms signal conditions requiring attention.

For remote management, connect via USB or optional network management card. Integration with SNMP-based monitoring systems allows you to track UPS status alongside other infrastructure components. APC’s PowerChute software enables automated shutdown of operating systems and applications when battery reserves run low, preventing filesystem corruption and data loss during extended outages.

Installation Considerations

Mounting the unit requires basic rack installation skills and two people due to the 13kg weight. Install the included rail kit according to your rack type—square-hole or round-hole configurations both work with the provided hardware. Position the unit where cooling airflow isn’t obstructed, as the continuous power conversion generates heat that requires adequate ventilation.

Cable management becomes straightforward with the rear-mounted power input and output outlets. The four IEC C13 outlets handle standard equipment power cords, and their rear placement keeps cable routing clean and professional. Consider using the input locking connector to prevent accidental disconnection during maintenance activities.

Ideal Applications

The APC Easy UPS On-Line SRV 1000VA RM suits numerous rack-mounted scenarios. Network operations centers protecting core routing infrastructure, small server rooms running virtualized environments, telecommunications closets with PBX systems, and security operations centers with recording equipment all benefit from this combination of online topology and rack-efficient packaging.

Edge computing deployments particularly appreciate the combination of compact form factor and enterprise-grade power conditioning. Remote sites running critical applications gain the same power quality available in main data centers, reducing location-based infrastructure disparities.

Value Proposition

While online UPS technology commands higher initial investment than line-interactive alternatives, the APC Easy UPS On-Line SRV 1000VA RM justifies the cost through superior protection and operational benefits. Eliminating all power quality issues before they reach equipment reduces mysterious reboots, extends hardware lifespan, and prevents the productivity losses associated with power-related failures.

The high input power factor and tight voltage regulation also deliver ongoing operational savings through reduced energy consumption and the ability to maximize circuit utilization. For rack installations where equipment value exceeds several thousand dollars, investing in proper power protection makes financial sense.
