1Automatic Transfer Switch—Installation and Quick Start
Preliminary Information
Overview
The American Power Conversion (APC
®
) Rack Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) is a high-availability
switch that provides redundant power to connected equipment and has two input power cords, one for
each AC line. The Rack ATS supplies power to the connected load from a primary AC source. If that
primary source becomes unavailable, the Rack ATS automatically begins sourcing power from the
secondary source. The transfer time from one source to the other is seamless to the connected equipment,
as the switching occurs safely between the two input sources regardless of any phase differences. The
units have built-in network connectivity, which allows for remote management through the Web, SNMP,
or Telnet interfaces.
