Vertiv Liebert GXT4 8000VA/7200W Online UPS with Communication Card — 208/120V Rack/Tower Smart UPS

The Vertiv Liebert GXT4 is a high-performance online uninterruptible power supply (UPS) designed to protect critical equipment in data centers, server rooms, network closets, and mission‑critical environments. With a robust 8000 VA / 7200 W rating at 208/120 V, this unit delivers pristine power and uninterrupted operation for servers, storage, networking gear, and other sensitive electronics. Its hybrid rack/tower form factor provides deployment flexibility to fit evolving data center layouts, while the built‑in communication card enables seamless remote monitoring and control. The Liebert GXT4 is engineered to minimize downtime, extend hardware life, and safeguard uptime even during prolonged outages, brownouts, and voltage irregularities.

• Online double-conversion protection for critical equipment: The Liebert GXT4 employs true online double-conversion topology, continuously converting incoming AC power to DC and back to regulated AC. This process yields a clean, perfectly shaped sine wave with tight voltage regulation, isolating your devices from input disturbances, sags, surges, and transient events that could disrupt systems or corrupt data. With this level of power conditioning, your IT infrastructure remains stable during fluctuating utility power and during UPS transfer events.
• High capacity in a flexible form factor: Offering 8000 VA / 7200 W, the GXT4 provides ample headroom for peak IT workloads, virtualization hosts, high‑density blade servers, storage arrays, and networking equipment. Its adaptable rack/tower design allows easy placement in standard 19-inch racks or upright as a standalone tower, enabling efficient use of space in data centers, edge locations, or telecom rooms. This flexibility supports growing equipment footprints without sacrificing protection quality.
• Integrated remote management with a dedicated communication card: The included Liebert Communication Card enables proactive, real‑time monitoring and control across your network. IT teams can receive alarms, view battery health and runtime estimates, track input/output voltages, and manage events from centralized monitoring platforms. The card simplifies integration with SNMP-based systems, email alerts, and other management tools, helping teams respond faster to power events and plan maintenance with confidence.
• Reliable runtime and energy efficiency tailored to your needs: The GXT4 is designed to optimize energy use while delivering dependable power. It supports scalable battery configurations and efficient conversion to minimize electricity consumption during normal operation, reducing your total cost of ownership. When outages occur, the UPS allocates battery capacity intelligently to sustain essential workloads, extend runtime where possible, and provide a controlled shutdown for nonessential systems to protect data integrity.
• Maintenance-friendly design for minimal downtime: Built with modular components and straightforward diagnostics, the GXT4 emphasizes ease of maintenance. Its layout supports simple access to serviceable parts and batteries, enabling quick replacements with minimal disruption to critical operations. When combined with remote monitoring, you can schedule proactive maintenance and tests to verify system readiness without interrupting live workloads.

how to install Vertiv Liebert GXT4 8000VA/7200W

• Plan the space: Choose a location with adequate ventilation, clearance around the unit for airflow, and proper cable management. If mounting in a rack, verify the rack supports 19-inch modules and has the required depth for the GXT4.
• Mount or position the UPS: Install the unit in the selected rack or place it securely on a stable floor stand as a tower. Ensure it is level and that there is unobstructed access to the rear port connections and the LCD panel.
• Connect input and loads: Connect the UPS input cable to a properly rated power source. Connect critical devices and distribution to the UPS output outlets or to an appropriate PDU as specified in your design plan. Keep high‑current loads distributed to avoid overloading a single outlet.
• Install the communication card: Insert the Liebert Communication Card into the designated slot and connect the card to your network. Configure basic network parameters to enable remote monitoring and alerting through your centralized management system.
• Configure and test: Use the front‑panel LCD and/or compatible management software to set input/output voltage preferences, alarm thresholds, notify contacts, run battery tests, and schedule routine self-tests. Perform a controlled startup and a self-test to confirm proper operation and battery health before placing the system into live service.
