APC SMC2200BI-BR
Fully drivable by open code over the stock firmware.
Listed by Network UPS Tools (UPS). Host-side drivers communicate with the existing device firmware. Connection and hardware constraints apply; upstream listing is not an OpenDeviceDB hardware test.
Get started
2 known ways to put open firmware or software on this device, easiest first. Each one links to the project's own instructions.
- Back up your data and settings (and the stock firmware, when the guide says how).
- Check the exact model, hardware revision and firmware version against the guide: a close model may not work.
- Charge the battery or use a stable power supply; do not unplug during the install.
