Vertiv Liebert GXT5 1500VA 120V UPS with SNMP/Webcard

The Vertiv Liebert GXT5 1500VA 120V UPS with SNMP/Webcard is a premier online double‑conversion UPS designed to defend your most critical IT assets against power disturbances. Whether you’re safeguarding a single blade server, a rack of switches, or a compact storage array, this 2U compact UPS delivers clean, continuous power, protects data integrity, and keeps your equipment available when the grid falters. Built for reliability in data centers, server rooms, and network closets, the GXT5 blends advanced power protection with intelligent remote management, giving you a dependable backbone for uptime wherever your infrastructure resides. Its versatile design makes it easy to deploy in new deployments or upgrade paths, and its management features help you keep tabs on health, voltage fluctuations, and runtime without stepping foot on the data floor.

• Online double‑conversion technology for pristine, zero‑interrupt power. The Liebert GXT5 continuously converts incoming AC power to DC and back to a precise 120V AC sine wave, filtering out noise, harmonics, and voltage sags to protect sensitive servers, storage devices, and networking gear with seamless, uninterrupted transfer during outages.
• 2U rack‑mount form factor with a compact footprint. This space‑efficient enclosure is purpose‑built for dense data center racks and network closets, delivering reliable power protection without consuming valuable floor space. The slim profile simplifies deployment alongside other rack equipment, while maintaining robust cooling and airflow in standard 19‑inch racks.
• Integrated SNMP and Webcard for proactive remote management. Monitor voltage, load, battery health, runtimes, and environmental conditions from anywhere on the network. The built‑in management interface supports alerts, events, and remote configuration, enabling IT teams to respond quickly without onsite visits.
• Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) and comprehensive protection. The GXT5 stabilizes fluctuating input voltages to deliver a steady output even when mains swings occur, reducing stress on connected hardware. In addition to conventional surge protection, it provides robust short‑circuit tolerance and automatic shutdown safeguards to prevent equipment damage during unstable grid conditions.
• Scalable runtime with modular maintenance and easy upgrades. The Liebert GXT5 supports optional external battery packs to extend runtime for longer outages and heavy workloads. Its modular design simplifies battery maintenance and replacements, helping you manage total cost of ownership while preserving uptime for business‑critical workloads.

how to install Vertiv Liebert GXT5 1500VA 120V UPS with SNMP/Webcard

• Plan the installation location. Select a well‑ventilated rack space with adequate clearance for cooling and access to cabling. Ensure the rack can support the unit’s weight and that there is an accessible power source for initial charging and testing.
• Mount the unit in the rack. Use standard 19‑inch rack rails and the mounting hardware provided by Vertiv. Align the enclosure for easy front panel access and maintain clear airflow around the unit to optimize cooling during operation.
• Connect power and equipment. Plug the UPS into a dedicated circuit if possible, then connect the protected IT devices (servers, switches, storage) to the UPS outlets. Route cables neatly to avoid obstruction of front panel indicators or hot‑swap battery access if applicable.
• Configure network management and runtime options. Connect the SNMP/Webcard interface to your network, assign an IP address, and configure alert thresholds, email or SNMP traps, and remote monitoring schedules. If you plan to use external battery packs, integrate them according to the manufacturer’s guidance and ensure proper sequencing during initial charge.
• Commission and validate operation. Power on the UPS, verify alarm indicators, check battery status, run a controlled transfer test, and confirm that connected devices respond properly to a simulated outage. Confirm that remote management reports correct readings and that the LCD panel displays accurate status information.
