how to install Vertiv Liebert GXT5 Lithium-Ion Online UPS 6000VA/6000W 120V/208V Rack/Tower UPS

• Plan your layout. Choose a secure, well-ventilated area with ample clearance for cooling and easy access for maintenance. Verify floor load capacity if mounting in a rack, and ensure dedicated electrical circuits meet local codes.
• Choose your form factor. Decide between rack-mount or tower configuration. Use the appropriate rails or feet supplied by Vertiv, and ensure the installation footprint allows proper airflow around the unit.
• Connect power and loads. Connect the UPS input to a properly rated circuit. Attach protected IT equipment to the UPS outlets, avoiding overloading the circuit. Keep high-inrush devices on separate loads if possible.
• Configure voltage, monitoring, and safety settings. Power up the unit and set the output voltage to 120V or 208V as required. Configure alarm thresholds, notification methods (USB, Ethernet/SNMP), and any remote management software according to your IT policies.
• Test and validate. Run a self-test, verify runtime estimates under typical loads, and confirm graceful shutdown procedures for connected devices. Document the test results and establish a regular maintenance schedule for battery checks and firmware updates.
• Maintain and service. Schedule routine inspections to verify venting, battery health, and cable integrity. Retain service contacts and keep firmware up to date to ensure continued protection against evolving power disturbances.
