Features of 
the Interface 
Expander
The Interface Expander:
• Mounts in all 
APC
 devices equipped with a SmartSlot 
accessory slot.
• Works well in a heterogeneous network. Servers run-
ning different operating systems can monitor the 
same 
UPS
 simultaneously.
• Supports advanced or simple signaling on the 
advanced port of the 
UPS
.
• Can delay shutdown of the 
UPS
 until all servers have 
shut down gracefully.
• Allows you to restart hung servers.
• Has operating modes that cause the 
UPS
 to shut down 
after confirmation from all protected devices or after 
an interval set by the user. See “Configuring the 
Interface Expander” on page 19.
• Does not depend on the operation of the network to 
protect connected devices. As a hard-wired acces-
sory, the Interface Expander reliably conveys impor-
tant status messages during poor power conditions.
