Liebert GXT5 3000VA Rack/Tower UPS

The Vertiv Liebert GXT5 3000VA Rack/Tower UPS is a premium online double-conversion uninterruptible power supply designed to deliver continuous, clean power for critical IT, networking, and data center equipment. This single-phase UPS combines rock-solid protection with flexible deployment, making it ideal for environments where uptime matters—from small data closets to edge locations and hybrid clouds. With a compact 2U footprint that can be rack-mounted or positioned as a tower, the GXT5 3000VA provides reliable power conditioning, sophisticated management features, and scalable runtime to support servers, storage devices, virtualization platforms, and network appliances alike. Its robust design guards against outages, sags, surges, and harmonic distortion, ensuring your loads operate in a stable electrical environment even when the grid falters.

  • Premium online double-conversion power protection: isolates sensitive equipment from input disturbances and delivers a continuous, perfectly conditioned sine-wave output, ensuring peak performance and data integrity during outages and transient events.
  • Flexible rack/tower deployment: a compact, adaptable design that fits into dense data centers or office server rooms, enabling quick installation without compromising space or accessibility.
  • Advanced remote management: built-in monitoring and control capabilities, with USB and RS-232 interfaces and optional Network Management Card support for SNMP, web-based dashboards, asset tracking, and automated safe shutdown across devices.
  • Scalable battery and maintenance features: hot-swappable, user-replaceable battery cartridges and a maintenance bypass option keep critical systems online during service, with the ability to expand runtime through additional battery modules as your load or uptime requirements grow.
  • High reliability with intelligent protection: automatic voltage regulation, surge suppression, overload protection, audible alarms, and an informative LCD display help technicians monitor status, perform self-tests, and plan maintenance with confidence.

How to install Liebert GXT5 3000VA Rack/Tower UPS

To achieve optimal protection and ease of maintenance, plan the installation around your equipment layout and power architecture. Begin by selecting a location with adequate ventilation, clear airflow, and unobstructed access to ports and maintenance features. If mounting in a rack, install the railkit and secure the UPS with the appropriate screws, ensuring it sits level and stable. For tower configurations, place the unit on a flat, sturdy surface away from heat sources and potential obstructions.

Next, connect the input power from the utility outlet to the UPS input receptacle using an appropriately rated power cord. If you expect high loads or longer cable runs, verify that the selected input wiring matches your regional electrical code and the UPS’s input specifications. Connect your critical devices to the UPS’s output outlets, prioritizing essential systems and ensuring any power distribution equipment is compatible with the unit’s output characteristics.

With the hardware in place, attach the USB and RS-232 cables to your management workstation or server to enable basic monitoring and graceful shutdown capabilities. If you plan to deploy remote management, install the optional Network Management Card and configure SNMP, emails, or web alerts according to your IT policy. Power up the UPS and allow it to initialize; perform the self-test to verify battery health and overall operation.

Configure key settings—output voltage, sensitivity, shutdown thresholds, power-on reset behavior, and load protection policies—using the LCD interface or, where available, the native management software. Establish communication with your virtualization or data protection platform so it can coordinate shutdown sequences and alerts during outages. Finally, document the installation details, including location, load distribution, battery configuration, and maintenance schedule, to simplify future service and audits.

For ongoing reliability, schedule regular battery health checks and self-tests. Periodic testing helps ensure the hot-swappable batteries remain ready to deliver power during an outage and that the maintenance bypass path remains functional for planned service windows. Maintain a small inventory of spare battery cartridges to minimize downtime during battery replacements. Regular firmware updates from Vertiv can also improve performance, compatibility, and security of the management interfaces.
