Hi all,

I have a Smart-UPS SMX1500RMI2U and am looking at purchasing a 9617 Management card. Should the 2 be compatible?

Cheers.

Look for "tabs" on the back of your UPS on each side of the Smart Slot.  Only NMCs that can accept these "tabs" are compatible.  I don't believe the AP9617 has the slots to accept them.

Thank you for the reply.

Yes, there are tabs there so the card wouldn't be compatible.

Purchase an AP9630 or AP9631.

Yes, just to confirm what was already discussed, AP9617/18/19 Network Management Card 1 devices are NOT compatible with newer UPS models like those beginning with SMX/SMT/SRT prefix.

Here is a Network Management Card compatibility chart for additional detail -> http://www.apc.com/support/index?page=content&country=ITB〈=en&locale=en_US&id=FA237786
