The battery is hot-swappable. You can replace it without turning off the UPS. Open the battery compartment, remove the old battery, and insert the new one.

What is SmartConnect?

SmartConnect is a remote monitoring feature that allows you to monitor your UPS via a cloud-based portal.

Can I use the UPS for devices other than servers and network equipment?

Yes, you can use the UPS for any device that requires power backup and surge protection, provided the total power consumption does not exceed the UPS's capacity.

How do I configure SmartConnect?
