Scheda di gestione di rete APC AP9641 Smart-UPS (gen3) con monitoraggio ambientale

Manage your Smart-UPS
With the ap9641 APC network card you connect an APC Smart-UPS (equipped with a SmartSlot) to the network. This way you can monitor and manage the UPS remotely (SNMP, EcoStruxure™ IT, web browser) and the UPS can send a shutdown signal to multiple physical and/or virtual servers using PowerChute Network Shutdown software.

Monitor the environment
The AP9641 includes one temperature sensor (AP9335T), allowing the ambient temperature of the UPS to be monitored remotely. An automatic temperature-initiated shutdown of the UPS is also possible.

Measure humidity
The AP9641 also offers space for a second sensor; if you choose the AP9335TH, you can monitor both the humidity and the temperature of the environment in which the UPS is located. This means that an automatic shutdown of UPS initiated by excessive humidity is also possible.

Wireless UPS monitoring via WiFi
By connecting the AP9834 APC USB Wi-Fi dongle to the network card, it can communicate wirelessly with your network.

Additional UPS monitoring via relay
Instead of a second sensor, you can also choose to combine the advantages of UPS monitoring via SNMP and potential-free / dry contacts. You do this by combining the ap9641 with the ap9810.

PowerChute Network Shutdown
PowerChute Network Shutdown is UPS management software that works with the UPS Network Management Card to protect Windows, Linux and Host ESXi, as well as hyperconverged and virtual infrastructure*. In the event of a power outage, PowerChute can properly shut down your virtual machines and the preconfigured boot sequence ensures they are turned back on.

*An additional license is required for HCI and virtual machine support:
1 year: SWPCNS1Y-DIGI
3 years: SWPCNS3Y-DIGI
5 years: SWPCNS5Y-DIGI

Remote management and monitoring of your network
The network card can be managed remotely via the easy-to-use web browser interface, remote management software EcoStruxure™ IT (SWITE1YR-DIGI) or other SNMP-compatible system. Tip EcoStruxure™ IT also includes the functionalities of the support contract below.

Support contract
The optional network card support contract license** ensures that you are always up to date and secure and includes additional benefits such as frequent updates with:
• New and improved features
• Security updates
• Advanced support

**The above license is included for the first year and available in the following variants:
1 year: SWNMC3SU-1Y-DIGI
3 years: SWNMC3SU-3Y-DIGI
5 years: SWNMC3SU-5Y-DIGI

Remote outlet switching
Stuck connected devices can be restarted remotely using controlled outlet groups already present on the UPS and in combination with a network card, so that functionality can be restored without the need to deploy personnel.

Remote monitoring service
The optional Schneider Electric EcoStruxure Asset Advisor service (WUPG1PEAA-UG-01) offers maximum protection and peace of mind by remotely monitoring critical equipment for you 24/7 in real time through SE's connected services hub. In the event of incidents, SE will contact you directly on your mobile phone via smart alarms and will also immediately provide problem solutions.

Asset Advisor is a cloud-based remote monitoring service that can monitor, troubleshoot and track site issues in a timely and efficient manner.

How to use

Install the AP9641 into the compatible APC UPS card slot according to the UPS user manual and the card installation guide. Connect the card to the local network via Ethernet and configure its network settings through the web interface or command-line tools. Configure alert thresholds, user accounts, and shutdown parameters per site requirements. Integrate with existing network management systems using SNMP or the supported interfaces to enable centralized monitoring and automated responses to power events.

Recommendations

Ensure firmware for both the UPS and the AP9641 is kept up to date and use strong administrative credentials. Place the management card on a secured management VLAN or network segment to limit access, and test shutdown scripts and alerting procedures during maintenance windows to verify correct behavior.
