How to Install Vertiv Liebert GXT5 Lithium-Ion Online UPS

Installing the GXT5 is a straightforward process designed to minimize downtime and maximize uptime. Plan the placement to ensure proper ventilation, accessible cabling, and stable mounting. If you are mounting in a rack, verify rail compatibility and weight capacity; if you choose a tower configuration, place the unit on a solid surface with clear airflow around the enclosure. Prepare the IT load by grouping critical devices on the UPS outlets to simplify monitoring and ensure predictable runtime during disturbances.

• Unbox and inspect: Remove packaging, confirm model and accessories, and inspect for transit damage. Report any issues to your supplier before installation.
• Choose the form factor: Decide between rack‑mount or tower mounting based on space, cable runs, and future expansion plans.
• Mount and secure: Install in the selected configuration, ensuring rails are level, secure, and able to support the weight of the UPS and connected equipment.
• Connect input and outputs: Bring utility power to the UPS input and connect protected outlets to your critical devices with appropriate cabling lengths and labeling.
• Power on and test: Power up the unit, run the initial self‑test, and verify output quality. Confirm the battery status and runtime estimates under typical load.
• Configure management: Attach USB/RS‑232 cables or the optional network management card. Access the management interface to set voltage sensitivity, alarms, notification methods, and integration with your DCIM or monitoring platform.
• Validate operation: Conduct a controlled outage simulation to validate switchover performance, notify stakeholders, and document configuration for future maintenance.
