AP9617 for a SU2200R3IBX120

[Anonymous user]

On the page for the [SU2200R3IBX120|http://www.apc.com/template/size/apc/sizing_display_options.cfm?option_type=Management&ups_sku=SU220...] ,
only the AP9618 is listed as compatible network management card and the APC-support says this is the only card they officially support. This card is pretty expensive and I dont need the environmental part. Does anyone know what my chances are that the AP9617 card will work?

Both the AP9617 and the newer AP9630 and AP9631 cards should work.

I think what's happening here is that the NMC1 cards (AP9617, AP9618, AP9619) are being replaced by NMC2 (AP9630, AP9631). You might've noticed there are three numbers on the left list, two on the right: that's because the NMC2 doesn't yet have out-of-band management, which the AP9618 has, so the AP9618 is the only NMC1 cards still kept in stock. Seems odd that they didn't update the add-ons to include the NMC2 cards.

i agree with voidstar. it should work since they use the same firmware. i dont anticipate an issue 🙂
