How to install Vertiv Liebert GXT5 Lithium-Ion Online UPS 1000VA/1000W 120V Tower/Rack UPS
Unpack and inspect the unit: verify that all accessories, mounting hardware, and manuals are present, and check for any signs of transit damage before installation.
Choose the mounting orientation: decide between tower placement or rack-mount installation depending on your space and equipment layout. Use the included mounting brackets or a compatible rack kit as required.
Site preparation: locate the UPS in a clean, dry area with adequate airflow and away from direct heat sources, moisture, and excessive dust. Ensure proper clearance above and around the unit for cooling and service access.
Connect input power: attach the 120V input cord to a dedicated branch circuit with appropriate protection per local electrical codes. Do not overload the circuit and avoid daisy-chaining with other high-draw devices.
Connect IT load to the outlets: plug your critical servers, storage devices, and networking gear into the UPS output receptacles. Avoid exceeding the rated 1000 W / 1000 VA to maintain performance and enable the UPS to deliver full protection during disturbances.
Establish management interfaces: install the USB cable to a management workstation and connect the RS-232 port if required. If you have an optional network management card, install it per the user guide and connect to your monitoring network.
Power-on and self-test: energize the unit and run the built-in self-test to verify battery health and output quality. Review the LCD display for status indicators and address any warning messages promptly.
Configure defaults and monitoring: set preferred alarm thresholds, time-to-test schedules, and notification recipients. Enable automatic voltage regulation (AVR) settings if available to optimize voltage conditions for your equipment.
Plan for battery maintenance: establish a replacement and maintenance window aligned with the Li‑ion battery’s expected life, and document the procedure for replacements if you plan to upgrade or expand the system in the future.
Documentation and safety: keep the user manual accessible, label cables clearly, and observe all safety guidelines during installation and operation to prevent harm or equipment damage.
