Actually, following the pattern of the other APC templates, this
should be stored as "apc-9630", with a sysdesc of "MN:AP9630". As one
can see at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APC_Smart-UPS#SmartSlot_card_models
there are a variety of cards that can fit in the Smart Slot that can
provide different capabilities (e.g. external temperature) regardless
of the model of UPS they fit into (bread loaf or rack mount).

Speaking personally, some of our SU1400s have a 9617 and some a 9619,
and some of our 3000RM XLs have a 9617 and some a 9619, but each with
a 9619 has an "snmpwalk enterprises | wc -l" linecount of 717, and
with a 9617, 568 or 570.
