Sandra,
We are also an APC customer, but it looks like our parts differ a bit from others. We use the SMX1500RM2UNC model on our MDF/IDF locations. With the SMX series, X is for extended runtime and allow for additional battery packs to be added for more runtime. This part number also is a combo that comes with the network management card and costs less than piecing the APC + NMC together individually. Most of our SMX1500RM2UNC are paired with at least 1 additional battery pack, APC PN# SMX48RMBP2U. I’ve attached a runtime graph to show how the additional packs improve runtime. We use APC struxureware to not only monitor the units, but also to report on them as well as template their configurations. Configuring a few hundred NMC cards is tedious at best without the ability to template.

If you do not build in backup power, do you put your switches on a maintenance contract, or do you pay to replace them when they fail outside of warranty? Thanks very much. Sandy Sandra H.
