What is the APC Symmetra LX SYA4K8RMI?

The SYA4K8RMI is a 4kVA rack-mount UPS scalable to 8kVA N+1 redundancy within a 13U frame. It features 230V input/output, pre-installed Network Management Card 3 (NMC3), and hot-swappable battery modules.

Can the SYA4K8RMI be scaled to higher capacity?

Yes, the SYA4K8RMI can be scaled from 4kVA to 8kVA N+1 by adding a second SYPM4KI power module, avoiding the cost and downtime of a full UPS replacement.

What is the difference between the SYA4K8RMI and SYA4K8RMP?

The SYA4K8RMI is the 230V international variant, while the SYA4K8RMP is the 208/240V variant designed for North American markets. Both share the same 13U frame and scalability from 4kVA to 8kVA N+1.
