Compact lithium-ion UPS for rack or tower use

The APC Smart-UPS SCL500RMI1UC delivers 500 VA of battery backup at 230 V in a short-depth chassis that fits standard racks or sits as a tower. Its lithium-ion cells provide longer service life and lighter weight than traditional lead-acid units, making it suitable for protecting network switches, routers and small servers in space-constrained environments.

Simple mounting with one planning step

The unit ships with rack ears and tower feet so installation is a matter of choosing orientation and securing the hardware. The only common issue is forgetting to register the SmartConnect feature within the first few days, which delays remote monitoring and firmware updates until the registration is completed.

Ideal for edge networking gear, not heavy loads

This UPS suits IT managers who need reliable runtime for low-power infrastructure such as access points, modems or a single NAS. Buyers who want more storage capacity or must support multiple high-draw servers should look at higher-VA models instead.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the SCL500RMI1UC is operating correctly after installation?

The unit will power on and show normal status on its front-panel indicators; APC SmartConnect cloud monitoring also reports real-time health and battery state once the UPS is registered and connected to the network.

What ships with the SCL500RMI1UC and what must I source separately?

The package includes the rack/tower UPS with internal lithium-ion battery, rack-mounting brackets, a USB cable and a serial cable; input cords, output cables and any network management card are not included.

Which SCL500RMI1UC variant suits a 230 V environment?

This model is rated for 230 V input and output, so it is the correct choice for regions using 230 V mains power.
