The SMT750 UPS has worked well to keep our network rack running over short power outages and has definitely minimized work disturbances for the office. Install was a little difficult because it's so heavy, but it's manageable with two people. We haven't tried the network connectivity yet, but the LCD display is easy to read and navigate to keep an eye on things.

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. I have some IT experience.The instructions for this product are clear. Plug and play. Works instantaneously after plugging it in . This product works as intended and it does what it's supposed to do. The noise is very low which is great. It's also the perfect size and it's not too heavy. I recommmned this to anyone who wants to keep their products safe for local home network, desktops or servers at home.

I've been using the APC Smart?UPS 750VA Rackmount and it's been a dependable addition to my setup. The line?interactive design handles voltage fluctuations smoothly, and the LCD screen makes it easy to check load, battery status, and runtime. I really like the SmartConnect remote monitoring, which sends useful alerts without needing extra hardware. The unit fits cleanly in a 2U rack and runs quietly. The 6× NEMA 5?15R outlets give me plenty of flexibility for connecting multiple devices. Runtime is solid for a 750VA UPS, enough to ride out short outages and keep equipment protected. Overall, it's a reliable, professional?grade UPS that delivers great value for the features it offers.

I'm a desktop user living in the Northeast, working on a web app, and I decided to pick up this UPS because of the occasional brownout or brief power loss. Having a reliable UPS seemed like a healthy way to protect my work, allow for graceful shutdowns, and ride out power inconsistencies without risking my PC or losing progress. This thing is a beast. Heavy, sturdy, and definitely not subtle. You'll feel it when you lift it. Setting it up as a desktop user was? not trivial, and I probably would have been lost without a bit of guidance. Once it's running, though, it's impressive. The Smart Network Card gives you a read on energy use (through the UPS) and environmental stat (like the temperature sensor that came with it) is interesting and probably useful. Mounting or positioning it for everyday desk use is going to require some creativity (as a riser on my desk or some dedicated shelf), but the hardware itself feels solid and reliable. Not for casual users, but if you're willing to wrestle with the setup, it delivers exactly what it promises. Nerd Level: 4/5. Quick Setup Notes (for desktop users): - Flip the battery (easy). - Plug the UPS into the wall. - Plug USB into the UPS. - Plug Ethernet into the UPS for initial PowerChute setup. - Download and install PowerChute Serial Shutdown. - Go to the UPS IP address in your browser and do your initial settings. - Plug in (or move from UPS) Ethernet to the network card (AP9641). - Plug the temperature sensor (AP9335T) into the card. - Check your router to see which IP the card received. - Go to https://[card IP], log in with apc/apc, and everything is live - sensor readings, energy stats, and network management.

This APC Smart-UPS 750VA has been a solid and reliable choice for protecting critical equipment. Setup was straightforward, and the rackmount design feels sturdy and well built. I really like the LCD display because it gives clear, easy-to-read information about load, battery status, and power conditions at a glance. During power fluctuations and brief outages, it switches over smoothly and keeps everything running without interruption. The pure sine wave output gives peace of mind for sensitive electronics, and the built-in network management card makes remote monitoring super convenient. Overall, it feels dependable, professional grade, and worth it if you need consistent power protection for servers or network equipment.

I received a Smart-UPS from APC which is specifically the Line Interactive 750VA Rackmount 2U. It is 120V with 6x NEMA 5-15R Outlets). Here is my review of this product. The APC Smart-UPS 750VA Rackmount 2U is a reliable line-interactive uninterruptible power supply designed for small to medium server racks, network closets, or IT setups needing clean power protection in a compact form factor. I notice it gives me 5-6 minutes at full load (500W), and it is then 16 minutes at half load (250W). This I think is sufficient for graceful shutdowns. It features an Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), hot-swappable battery, LCD display for status monitoring, and a SmartSlot for optional network card. This product earns praise from me for durability. I would describe it as solid and reliable, with flawless operation that I'm sure will last me years. It's a go-to for protecting routers, switches, firewalls, and small servers from surges, sags, and outages. Unlike other modified sine wave UPS units, this provides clean power compatible with active PFC power supplies, there is no compatibility issues with modern hardware. The 2U design fits well in space-constrained racks. The LCD interface is intuitive for local configuration, and features like AVR extend battery life by correcting minor voltage fluctuations without switching to battery. The fact that it has a Hot-swappable battery means there wouldn't be downtime for replacements, and predictive battery alerts help with planning. After installing it and testing it, I confirm that this is an excellent choice for rackmounted network equipment where pure sine wave power is essential. APC's track record for reliability makes it a worthwhile investment for avoiding downtime. I would say this is highly recommended for IT pros or home labs with critical gear.

Super high quality with relatively easy installation. The smart connect feature is very handy since you can get updates right to your phone if needed. It is heavy and takes up quite a bit of space but if you have a dedicated closet you'll be fine. The piece of mind that comes with this is worth the money alone. No more drops and as a business owner thats a big deal. I can't recommend it enough.

This is a great high end UPS. Great for backing up all your technology needs. Easy to set up and easy to run. No loud noises and not large foot print. I set it up and was running in minutes. I feel so much better knowing I have something protecting my computer and home office.

Powerchute was included until version 5. Now Schneider wants $1270 for a six year license, which is roughly the regular lifespan. So you get to buy this UPS twice if you want to use the otherwise useless network card!

Had to replace one of our very old (2005) APC Rack UPS'es dues to getting fried from a utility company power surge. Took advantage of the TradeUPS Program, and this new model includes a Remote Management Card, which is very helpful when offsite!

I have purchased these time and time again for customers as they have proven to be a huge value and extremely reliable. We love that they already have the Network Card versus buying separately. Totally recommend this unit under appropriate circumstances!
