Dell UPS... the Smarter UPS : Comparing the Dell 3000 (e313)


One of the most popular specification line is the 3kva 120 volt rack mount.   Today its dominated by the APC Smart UPS SUA series.  However it has serious drawbacks.
First it has a limited amount of run-time out of the box, which cant be extended.   The old tired display looks out of place in a modern server rack.  Its newer generation the SMT series has the screen but still lacks the extendable run-time feature.  Plus both models don't have server type PDU output receptacles on the back.

The Dell e313 Model has all of these covered at a fraction of the newer SMT model.
