Vertiv Liebert GXT5 TAA UPS - 2000VA/1800W 120V Online 2U Rack/Tower UPS
The Vertiv Liebert GXT5 TAA-compliant online UPS delivers reliable, professional-grade power protection for critical IT infrastructure in both centralized data centers and edge environments. With a robust online, double-conversion topology, it converts incoming utility power into clean, continuous output power, shielding servers, storage devices, networking gear, and other rack-mounted equipment from voltage sags, surges, outages, and other power disturbances. Designed for compact spaces, this 2U unit blends rack-mount and tower versatility with compact form, making it a versatile backbone for modern IT rooms and edge deployments where uptime is non-negotiable. The GXT5’s TAA compliance ensures it meets procurement standards for government and enterprise customers, while its efficient operation helps you manage power usage without compromising performance. Whether your workload is latency-sensitive databases, virtualization hosts, or industrial control systems, the Liebert GXT5 is engineered to deliver steady, quality power that keeps your systems online and your data secure.
- Online double-conversion protection ensures continuous, clean sine-wave power regardless of input anomalies. This topology isolates connected equipment from utility glitches, maintaining uptime for servers, storage arrays, and network devices even during utility outages or fluctuations.
- 2U rack/tower form factor provides flexible deployment in data centers, workloads, and edge sites. Its compact footprint fits standard 19"-rack enclosures while offering the option to stand as a tower for non-rack environments, maximizing space efficiency without sacrificing performance.
- 2000VA / 1800W capacity at 120V balances power needs for a broad range of mid-size IT gear. This rating supports critical workloads, virtualization hosts, and essential networking equipment, helping maintain high availability during power events.
- TAA-compliant for government and enterprise sourcing enables straightforward procurement in regions that require Trade Agreements Act compliance, extending the same reliable protection to public-sector deployments and global offices.
- Flexible battery options and monitoring with user-friendly interfaces and management tools. The Liebert GXT5 supports efficient battery management, easy battery maintenance, and monitoring capabilities (local LCD display and remote management) to optimize runtime and protect critical assets.

How to install Vertiv Liebert GXT5
Installing the Liebert GXT5 is designed to be straightforward for IT staff, facilities teams, and integrators. Start by selecting the deployment mode that best fits your environment: rack-mount in a standard 19" rack or stand-alone tower configuration for locations without rack access. Ensure proper ventilation and sufficient clearance around the unit for heat dissipation and service access. Prepare the required power input connection, loads, and any network or management cables before you begin fastening or wiring. Follow these general steps to install the unit safely and efficiently:
- Unpack and inspect the UPS for any shipping damage. Confirm that you have the correct model and battery configuration for your needs.
- Mount in a standard 19" rack using the included rails or place the unit on a stable, vibration-free surface if using it as a tower. Maintain clear airflow around the enclosure and keep away from heat sources or damp environments.
- Connect the input power cable to a dedicated 120V circuit with appropriate overcurrent protection. Do not use extension cords or daisy-chains for primary power.
- Connect critical loads to the UPS’s output receptacles according to your equipment layout. Avoid overloading the UPS beyond its 1800W rating to preserve reserve runtime and protection.
- Attach management cables (USB/serial) or configure network management interfaces if available. Enable SNMP or web monitoring if your environment requires centralized power management and alerting.
- Insert or connect the battery pack(s) if the configuration supports hot-swappable batteries, following the manufacturer’s safety instructions. Verify battery state and perform a self-test to confirm proper operation.
- Power on the UPS and verify the LCD status display or software console shows normal operation. Configure alarm thresholds, auto-shutdown policies, and runtime options to align with your organization’s policies.
- Conduct a controlled outage test to confirm that connected equipment gracefully remains protected during a simulated power loss. Review alert logs and refine the setup as needed.
After installation, establish a routine maintenance and monitoring plan. Regularly inspect battery health, firmware updates, and alert configurations. A well-maintained Liebert GXT5 helps you maximize runtime during outages while minimizing unnecessary maintenance interruptions. For edge deployments or multi-rack environments, consider grouping UPS units under a centralized monitoring solution to simplify alerting, asset management, and battery health tracking across locations.
