Vertiv Liebert GXT5 UPS - 10kVA/10kW/208 and 120V | Online Rack Tower Energy Star
The Vertiv Liebert GXT5 UPS is a premium power protection solution designed to shield critical equipment from outages, transients, and a broad spectrum of power disturbances. With a robust 10kVA/10kW online double-conversion design, it delivers clean, continuous power to servers, networking gear, storage systems, and other sensitive devices. This Energy Star-rated UPS supports both 208V and 120V outputs, making it adaptable for data centers, edge computing installations, and telecom closets that demand reliable, consistent performance. Its compact rack/tower form factor offers flexible deployment options for IT rooms of all sizes, while advanced battery management and remote monitoring help minimize downtime and operational costs.
- True online protection for mission-critical loads: The GXT5 uses double-conversion online topology to continuously convert incoming AC power to DC and back to a pristine AC output. This delivers a consistent, pure sine-wave output with zero transfer time, ensuring that sensitive equipment instantly recovers from any disturbance—mitigating data corruption, equipment wear, and unexpected downtime.
- Flexible form factor with scalable runtime: Engineered as a rack/tower convertible system, the Liebert GXT5 fits a wide range of spaces and configurations. Its modular design allows you to add or replace battery modules in the field, enabling you to scale runtime to match available floor space and evolving load requirements without replacing the entire unit.
- Energy efficiency and trusted reliability: The Liebert GXT5 is Energy Star-rated, combining high-efficiency operation with low heat dissipation and reduced energy costs. In addition to preventing outages, it helps organizations maintain green data center operations. The system is engineered for long service life, delivering dependable uptime in demanding environments and enabling predictable total cost of ownership.
- Comprehensive management and remote visibility: Stay in control with multiple communication ports and management options. Integrated USB, RS-232, and Ethernet provide local and networked access, while compatibility with Modbus/TCP and Liebert NView enables seamless integration with DCIM and IT monitoring ecosystems. Remote monitoring and graceful shutdowns empower IT staff to manage loads, batteries, and events from anywhere.
- Protective features you can trust: Beyond clean power, the GXT5 includes automatic voltage regulation (AVR), surge and short-circuit protection, and intelligent battery management. Its design supports safe battery replacement, hot-swapping capabilities in many configurations, and robust protection against disturbances that threaten uptime and equipment integrity.

How to Install Vertiv Liebert GXT5 UPS
- Plan your installation: Assess load requirements, confirm space for rack mounting or standalone placement, and ensure adequate ventilation. Verify that the available electrical circuit and main distribution panel can support the UPS input requirements and that room ambient conditions fall within the recommended ranges for optimal performance.
- Choose the mounting option: Install the GXT5 in a suitable rack or position it as a tower. Securely mount using the provided rails or feet, ensuring stability and proper clearance for cooling and service access.
- Connect input power and outlets: Connect the UPS input to the appropriate AC supply with correct breakers and wiring in compliance with local electrical codes. Plug critical equipment into the UPS output outlets, prioritizing essential devices and leaving noncritical gear on separate power sources if needed.
- Configure management interfaces: Attach USB, Ethernet, or RS-232 interfaces as required. Set up basic shutdown policies, event logging, and alert thresholds through the LCD panel or compatible software, such as Liebert NView, to enable proactive monitoring and rapid response to faults.
- Power up, test, and validate: Energize the system and run a self-test to verify battery status, inverter operation, and protection features. Confirm that alarms, runtime estimates, and communication links are functioning correctly. Establish a maintenance schedule for battery health checks and firmware updates as part of routine data-center hygiene.
