How to install Vertiv Liebert GXT5 Lithium-Ion Online UPS

• Plan the installation: Determine whether the unit will be placed in a rack or used as a floor‑standing tower. Ensure adequate airflow, ventilation, and clear access to outlets, the LCD panel, and management ports.
• Mounting and positioning: For rack installation, use the supplied mounting rails and secure the UPS in a 2‑ or 4‑post rack as recommended by Vertiv. For tower use, place the unit on a stable surface with sufficient clearance for cooling and service access.
• Connect the loads: Plug critical servers, storage devices, and networking gear into the UPS’s output outlets. Do not exceed the rated 1350 W load to maintain optimal performance and runtime accuracy.
• Connect to the power source: Plug the UPS input power cord into a properly grounded 120 V outlet. Avoid daisy‑chaining through power strips that could overwhelm the circuit; ensure the circuit can handle the UPS plus connected devices.
• Configure management and monitoring: Connect the USB or Serial cable to a local management workstation and install the vendor software for monitoring, events, and shutdown automation. If you have an optional network management card, install it according to the accessory guide to enable remote monitoring via SNMP, web, or cloud dashboards.
• Initial startup and self‑test: Power on the UPS and allow it to complete its self‑test sequence. Review the LCD readout and software dashboard to verify input/output voltage, battery status, load level, and event history. Run a brief graceful shutdown test to confirm the integration with your host systems.
• Documentation and ongoing maintenance: Record the UPS location, network credentials (if applicable), serial numbers, and warranty information. Schedule periodic self‑tests and battery health checks as part of a regular maintenance plan to ensure peak reliability.

Frequently asked questions

• What makes the Liebert GXT5 Li‑Ion UPS different from a traditional lead‑acid UPS? It uses Lithium‑Ion battery chemistry for longer life, lighter weight, and faster recharge, plus modern management features and higher energy density, all within a compact online system that delivers clean, uninterrupted power to critical IT gear.
• Is this UPS suitable for a home office or small business? Yes. It protects desktops, servers, NAS devices, networking gear, and other sensitive electronics typical in home labs or small offices, while offering scalable runtime and remote monitoring options.
• How is power quality ensured for connected devices? The online, double‑conversion topology provides a continuous, regulated 120 V output with a clean sine wave, minimizing disturbances caused by utility fluctuations and outages.
• What management options are available? Local monitoring through the LCD panel is standard, with USB and Serial connectivity for host systems. An optional network management card enables remote monitoring, alerting, and shutdown automation across the network.
• What should I know about runtime and battery maintenance? Runtime depends on load; as load increases, the available runtime decreases. Li‑ion batteries offer longer service life and lower maintenance needs. Regular health checks and self‑tests help predict replacement timing and minimize surprises.
• How do I ensure a safe and compliant installation? Follow the included installation instructions, place the unit in a ventilated area, use proper 120 V outlets, and ensure all safety certifications and environmental standards applicable to your region are met for your installation.
