Rack ATS AP44xx Installation and Quick Start2
Preliminary Information
The APC by Schneider Electric™ Rack Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) provides reliable, redundant
power to single-corded equipment loads, such as servers. The Rack ATS has two input power cords
supplying power to the connected loads from both a primary and secondary power source. If the primary
source becomes unavailable or goes out of the configured power range, the Rack ATS will seamlessly
switch to draw power from the secondary source without interrupting critical loads. The Rack ATS has
built-in network connectivity, which allows remote management via Web, Telnet, SNMP, SSH or
StruxureWare™ Data Center Expert interfaces.
