how to install Vertiv Liebert GXT5 Lithium-Ion N Online UPS

• Choose an installation site that is well-ventilated, away from direct heat sources, and within easy reach of IT gear that needs protection. Ensure the unit is level and stable in either tower or rack configuration.
• Unpack the UPS and verify all mounting hardware is present. If mounting in a rack, use the included rails or brackets and secure the unit firmly to prevent movement during operation or maintenance.
• Place the UPS close to the equipment it will protect to minimize cable length and reduce impedance on the protected load. Maintain clean cable routing to prevent accidental disconnections.
• Connect the UPS input power to a dedicated, properly rated circuit. Avoid daisy-chaining from other devices to prevent nuisance tripping and ensure predictable runtime and protection.
• Connect critical devices to the UPS’s output outlets. Reserve non-critical loads for secondary power sources if available, and use any included outlets or distribution options as recommended by Vertiv.
• Power on the UPS and allow the internal battery to initialize. Use the built-in LCD to verify status, load level, remaining runtime, and battery health. If required, install the included management software or rely on USB/serial monitoring for ongoing visibility.
• Configure alarm thresholds and shutdown policies according to your organization’s procedures. Perform a controlled load test to confirm startup sequencing, safe shutdown, and graceful power-down of connected equipment.
• Document the installation with model number, serial, and firmware revision. Schedule regular maintenance checks and firmware updates per Vertiv’s guidelines to maintain peak performance and reliability.

Frequently asked questions

• What does the Liebert GXT5 Lithium-Ion N do? It provides uninterrupted, conditioned power to critical IT equipment by continuously converting incoming AC power to DC and back to a clean, regulated 120 V output. This minimizes voltage fluctuations and protects devices from outages, ensuring uptime for servers, storage, and networking gear.
• Why choose lithium-ion for this UPS? Lithium-ion batteries offer longer life, lighter weight, faster recharge, and reduced maintenance compared with traditional lead-acid batteries. The GXT5 Lithium-Ion N leverages these benefits to extend runtime availability and simplify service intervals.
• Can it be mounted as a tower or in a rack? Yes. The GXT5 Lithium-Ion N is designed for flexible deployment in both tower and rack configurations, making it suitable for data centers, edge deployments, and multi-rloor IT closets.
• What kind of management features are available? The UPS includes an LCD interface for local status and configuration, plus USB/serial communication options for remote monitoring and integration with your existing management workflow.
• What kind of environments is this UPS built for? It is designed for server rooms, network closets, and distributed IT locations that require reliable power conditioning, fast recovery from outages, and minimal maintenance, even in higher-density edge deployments.
• How long does the battery last? Lithium-ion offers a longer expected life (often 10+ years under typical use), with maintenance-free operation for many years. Actual runtime depends on load and configuration.
