- Mounts in all supported APC by Schneider Electric devices equipped with a SmartSlot accessory slot
- Works well in a heterogeneous network
- Servers running different operating systems can monitor the same UPS simultaneously
- Typically supports smart signalling on the serial port of the UPS
- Can delay shutdown of the UPS until all servers have shut down gracefully
- Has operating modes that cause the UPS to shut down after confirmation from all protected devices or after an interval set by the user
- Does not depend on the operation of the network to protect connected devices
- As a hard-wired accessory, the Interface Expander 2 reliably conveys important status messages during poor power conditions
UPS Interface Expander 2 ger två extra datorgränssnittsportar för en UPS med en SmartSlot. Detta gör att UPS:en kan tillhandahålla en kontrollerad systemavstängning för anslutna servrar eller andra enheter under ett längre strömavbrott via PowerChute Serial Shutdown. Interface Expander 2 övervakar också UPS:en och rapporterar strömhändelser i PowerChute-programvaran.
