APC AP9641 Network Management Card 3 (NMC3) with Environmental Monitoring, SmartSlot, Gigabit Ethernet, Temperature Sensor

The APC AP9641 is the Network Management Card 3 (NMC3) with environmental monitoring for UPS units with a SmartSlot: it connects a Smart-UPS, Symmetra or Galaxy to your network and adds two Universal I/O sensor ports, with a temperature sensor included in the box, for small server rooms and network cabinets.

It does everything the AP9640 does — browser and SNMP management, email alerts, PowerChute Network Shutdown for orderly server shutdown, EcoStruxure IT support — and adds the ability to watch the temperature where your equipment actually sits. Optional sensors such as temperature/humidity probes or dry-contact I/O can be added later.

• AP9641 Network Management Card 3
• Temperature sensor
• Micro-USB configuration cable
• Installation manual

• The UPS gets an IP address: load, runtime, battery health and event log are visible from any browser.
• The included temperature sensor hangs in the rack or cabinet and triggers an alert when the room overheats — often the first sign of a failed air conditioner.
• Two Universal I/O ports accept APC temperature, temperature/humidity or dry-contact sensors, so you can add a door contact or humidity reading later.
• PowerChute Network Shutdown on servers or virtual hosts shuts everything down cleanly before the battery is exhausted.

• It will not fit a UPS without a SmartSlot.
• Third-party or NetBotz rack-appliance sensors are not universally supported — use the APC sensors listed as compatible (e.g. AP9335T, AP9335TH, AP9810).
• It manages only the UPS it is installed in, not PDUs or other UPS units.
• It needs a wired Ethernet connection; there is no built-in Wi-Fi.
