How to install Vertiv Liebert GXT5 Lithium-Ion N Online UPS 1500VA/1350W 120V Tower/Rack UPS

• Plan placement in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the location has adequate clearance for airflow and servicing access.
• Choose the installation mode: place the unit in its tower position on a stable surface or mount it in a compatible 19" rack using the provided rails and hardware. Ensure the setup complies with local electrical codes and facility power distribution.
• Mounting and mounting hardware: If rack-mounting, install rails per the manufacturer’s instructions and secure the UPS firmly to prevent movement. If used as a tower, place the unit on a sturdy, level floor or shelf with unobstructed ventilation nearby.
• Connect the UPS to the protected equipment: plug critical devices (servers, network gear, storage, and virtualization gear) into the UPS outlets. Do not exceed the 1350W rating to maintain safe operation and adequate runtime.
• Connect the input power: plug the UPS into a properly rated 120V outlet or circuit, ideally on a dedicated circuit with appropriate overcurrent protection. Avoid multi-outlet adapters that could impact performance.
• Initial power-up and self-test: switch on the UPS and allow it to perform its self-test routine. Check status indicators and verify the system is providing stable, clean power to connected equipment.
• Configure management and shutdown: connect any required USB, RS-232, or network management interfaces to a management station or server. Install and configure compatible power management software to monitor status, perform graceful shutdowns, and capture event logs.
• Battery activation and testing: if the unit includes a new battery, allow a break-in period as specified by the manufacturer, and perform a periodic self-test to confirm battery health and runtime estimates.
• Documentation and routine checks: preserve the user manual and keep track of firmware or software updates recommended by Vertiv to ensure optimal performance and security.
