Vertiv Liebert GXT5 TAA UPS - 1500VA/1350W 120V Online 2U Rack/Tower UPS

The Vertiv Liebert GXT5 TAA UPS is a high-availability power protection solution engineered for both centralized data centers and edge deployments. With a robust 1500VA/1350W capacity and a versatile 2U form factor that can be mounted in a rack or configured as a tower, this online UPS delivers clean, continuous power to critical IT infrastructure. Designed to meet Trade Agreements Act (TAA) requirements, the GXT5 TAA combines reliability, ease of deployment, and scalable runtime to protect servers, storage devices, virtualization platforms, and networking gear against outages, brownouts, and power surges.

Engineered for demanding environments, the GXT5 TAA uses online double-conversion topology to ensure a constant, pure sine wave output regardless of input conditions. This means instantaneous transfer in the event of a disturbance, minimal voltage and frequency variation, and superior protection for sensitive electronics. Whether you’re running a small on-premises data closet, a distributed edge site, or a compact data center, the Liebert GXT5 TAA provides the right balance of performance, flexibility, and efficiency to keep applications online and data safe.

• Online double-conversion protection: Delivers a continuous, clean DC-to-AC power supply with a pure sine wave, guaranteeing stable voltage and frequency to sensitive servers, storage, and network equipment even during utility disturbances.
• 2U rack/tower versatility: A compact, convertible design lets you deploy in a standard 19-inch rack or place the unit as a tower at edge sites, offices, or small data rooms without sacrificing protection or performance.
• Scalable runtime with EBMs: Extend uptime by adding external battery modules (EBMs) that are hot-swappable, enabling longer maintenance windows, graceful shutdowns, or extended operations during outages without rebooting protected gear.
• Comprehensive management options: Built-in USB and RS-232 interfaces with optional network management card support for SNMP and remote monitoring; real-time status indicators and an intuitive display streamline setup and ongoing maintenance.
• Reliability and efficiency: AVR (automatic voltage regulation) protects against voltage sags and surges without drawing on battery power, while efficient energy conversion and quiet operation help reduce total cost of ownership in busy IT environments.

The Liebert GXT5 TAA is designed to be a dependable backbone for your IT environment. It delivers stable, safeguarded power to prevent data corruption, abrupt system shutdowns, and hardware damage that can occur during power events. The unit’s online topology ensures that even during events like brownouts or short outages, your critical workloads continue running on clean power. This is especially important for virtualization hosts, databases, file servers, and network appliances that require predictable power to maintain performance, data integrity, and business continuity.

Edge deployments and small data centers often face unique space and cooling constraints. The GXT5 TAA’s 2U footprint and rack/tower configurability make it an ideal fit for these environments, where space is at a premium but uptime is non-negotiable. The UPS is designed to integrate with existing IT ecosystems, supporting standard management workflows and monitoring tools to keep administrators informed and in control. With TAA compliance, it’s a procurement-ready option for a wide range of government and regulated industry projects, enabling organizations to maintain compliance while benefiting from modern power protection technology.

Beyond protection, the GXT5 TAA emphasizes ease of maintenance and operational efficiency. Hot-swappable batteries keep maintenance downtime to a minimum, and EBMs allow organizations to scale runtime to match evolving workloads. The unit’s fault-tolerant design and robust battery management system monitor health and provide proactive alerts to help prevent unexpected outages. When paired with compatible software and network management modules, administrators gain granular visibility into UPS status, event history, and battery health, supporting preemptive maintenance and well-planned upgrades.

For organizations prioritizing reliability, the Liebert GXT5 TAA also supports seamless integration into virtualization and cloud-connected environments. Its clean output, precise voltage regulation, and fast transfer times help ensure consistent performance for virtual machines and hosted workloads. This makes the GXT5 an excellent choice for small-to-mid-size data centers, branch offices needing dependable power protection, and edge computing sites that require robust protection with flexible deployment options. The combination of a strong VA rating, scalable runtime, and comprehensive management capabilities positions the GXT5 TAA as a versatile, future-ready solution for a wide range of IT power protection needs.

In short, the Liebert GXT5 TAA UPS offers the right mix of power protection, scalability, and manageability—delivering confident uptime for mission-critical equipment while providing the flexibility to adapt as your IT footprint grows. It’s a durable, efficient, and procurement-friendly choice for enterprises and government projects alike, designed to safeguard data, preserve service levels, and enable rapid recovery when power events occur.

How to install Vertiv Liebert GXT5 TAA UPS

• Choose a location with adequate airflow and cooling; allocate a dedicated 120V circuit with appropriate protection and clearance around the unit for service and battery access.
• Mount the UPS in a standard 19-inch rack if rack installation is preferred, or configure as a tower using the supplied bottom-to-top mounting kit for edge deployments.
• On initial setup, connect the unit to the protected load via the designated outlet bank, and connect the input power from a dedicated outlet to the UPS input. Verify that the UPS is within its specified operating temperature range and that the circuit can handle the anticipated load.
• Connect management interfaces: attach USB and/or RS-232 cables to a local administration station; if you use a Network Management Card, install it according to the card’s instructions to enable SNMP or other remote monitoring protocols.
• Power on the unit and perform a self-test: review the LCD/status indicators, confirm that the output voltage is 120V, and verify that the UPS passes a basic self-test to validate battery health and inverter operation. Calibrate or configure voltage transfer settings, alert thresholds, and shutdown software as needed.
• Plan for battery maintenance: if external battery modules are used, connect them per the installation guide and allow time for battery conditioning. Schedule regular health checks and battery replacements to maintain peak protection capability.
• Configure notifications and integration with your IT management stack: ensure that event logs, notifications, and health dashboards are enabled so you receive timely alerts about any UPS or battery issues.
