What is the APC Symmetra LX SYA8K16RMI?

The SYA8K16RMI is a 8kVA rack-mount UPS scalable to 16kVA N+1 redundancy within a 19U frame. It features 230V input/output, pre-installed Network Management Card 3 (NMC3), and hot-swappable battery modules.

Can the SYA8K16RMI be scaled to higher capacity?

Yes, the SYA8K16RMI can be scaled from 8kVA to 16kVA N+1 by adding additional SYPM4KP/I power modules, supporting up to four modules total in the 19U frame.

What is the difference between the SYA8K16RMI and SYA8K16RMP?

The SYA8K16RMI is the 230V international variant, while the SYA8K16RMP is the 208/240V variant designed for North American markets. Both share the same 19U frame and scalability from 8kVA to 16kVA N+1.
