Older SC1500 Serial port setup questions

[Anonymous user]

Hello, I have had an older APC SC1500 rack mounted unit for a couple of years. I've never used any of the smart options. I've decided I'd give it a try. There is a lot of conflicting posts about which cable to use and the best way to connect to its interface since these units do not support network management cards. I just want clarification before I spend some money, if I pickup a APC AP9833 940-0272A serial to usb smart signaling cable, I should be able to use Powerchute business client to connect to the UPS correct? This UPS only has the serial port in the back no USB port. 

This is the unit I have

This is the cable I think I need

Hi,

You are correct. That UPS ships with cable 940-0272A and PowerChute Business Edition.
