The Vertiv Liebert GXT5 Lithium-Ion Online UPS is engineered to shield your critical IT applications from outages, surges, sags, and other power disturbances. Built for server rooms, network closets, and edge deployments, this online UPS delivers pristine power conditioning and dependable battery backup when you need it most. With a robust 8000VA/8000W rating and a compact 3U rack/tower footprint, the GXT5 Li-Ion model blends high performance with space-saving design, making it a versatile solution for mixed environments where uptime is non-negotiable. The lithium-ion battery technology provides extended life, reduced maintenance, and faster recharge, helping you lower total cost of ownership while ensuring your equipment stays online through disruptions. Whether you’re powering a data-intensive rack of servers, network gear, or critical edge devices, the GXT5 Li-Ion UPS offers reliable, scalable protection that keeps your business running smoothly.

• Industry-leading online power conditioning: The Liebert GXT5 employs a double-conversion online topology to continuously convert incoming AC power to DC and back to a clean, stable AC output. This delivers a stable sine-wave output with tight voltage and frequency regulation, protecting sensitive IT equipment from voltage sags, surges, brownouts, and total outages. With superior isolation from electrical noise and transients, your servers, storage devices, and networking gear run cooler, quieter, and more reliably even under imperfect power conditions.
• Lithium-Ion battery for longer life and lighter weight: The GXT5 Lithium-Ion UPS uses advanced lithium-battery technology designed for extended service life in data-center environments. Expect higher energy density, faster recharge, and reduced maintenance requirements compared with traditional lead-acid batteries. The result is a smaller footprint, easier handling, and fewer battery replacements over the life of the unit, which translates into lower operating costs and less downtime for battery maintenance.
• Compact 3U rack/tower form factor: This unit fits seamlessly into standard data-center racks or can stand upright as a tower, offering flexible deployment in constrained spaces. The 3U profile maximizes rack density while preserving headroom for airflow and cable management. Its adaptable mounting options make it ideal for hybrid deployments—dense server rooms, remote offices, and edge locations—where space and energy efficiency matter.
• Smart monitoring and management: The GXT5 Li-Ion UPS integrates with multiple management interfaces to keep you in control. It supports local and remote monitoring, alerts, and shutdown orchestration with common software tools. The intuitive interface helps administrators monitor battery health, runtime, input/output status, and fault conditions, enabling proactive maintenance and rapid response during power events. This makes it easier to enforce service-level agreements (SLAs) and uphold critical uptime commitments.
• Scalable runtime and energy efficiency: Designed to minimize energy waste, the GXT5 delivers efficient performance under varying loads. When additional runtime is required, you can extend backup capability with compatible battery options, while maintaining high-efficiency operation. This scalability is particularly valuable for edge and distributed IT environments where workloads fluctuate and demand adaptable resilience without sacrificing efficiency or reliability.

How to install Vertiv Liebert GXT5 Lithium-Ion Online UPS 8000VA/8000W

• Plan the space and mounting: Choose a stable rack location with adequate clearance for airflow, service access, and cable routing. The 3U footprint supports rack-mount installation, but the unit can also operate in a vertical tower position in compatible environments. Ensure the area complies with recommended environmental conditions for temperature and humidity to optimize battery life and performance.
• Position and prepare the UPS: Unpack the unit and verify all shipped components. Mount the UPS securely in the rack or set it on a solid surface if you’re using it as a tower. Level the device and confirm that it’s easily accessible for routine checks and maintenance.
• Connect the input and loads: Connect the UPS input to a dedicated, properly protected AC circuit that matches the 200–240 V specification. Then connect your critical devices—servers, storage, and network gear—to the UPS’s output outlets or power distribution modules as recommended by Vertiv guidelines. Maintain proper separation from non-critical loads to preserve runtime for essential systems.
• Integrate management and power protection tools: Attach any required USB, serial, or network management modules and configure monitoring software. Set alert preferences, notification channels, and shutdown policies to ensure graceful shutdowns during outages. Validate that the UPS reports its status accurately to your monitoring system and test automatic shutdown on simulated power loss.
• Power-on and test: After commissioning, power on the device and allow the battery to reach its stabilized state. Run a basic self-test to verify output quality and fault-free operation. Validate that connected equipment remains powered during simulated outages and that runtime estimates align with load levels. Document the process for future maintenance and audits.
• Document and schedule maintenance: Record serial numbers, firmware or software versions, and warranty coverage. Create a routine maintenance schedule for battery health checks, software updates, and physical inspections of cable connections and cooling airflow. With lithium-ion chemistry, you may experience longer intervals between maintenance cycles, but periodic checks remain essential to maximize uptime.
