How to install Vertiv Liebert GXT5 UPS

• Plan your installation area by selecting a well-ventilated, level surface with adequate clearance for airflow, service access, and cable routing. Confirm the floor can support the UPS weight and that the location is within reach of the main input power and critical load circuits.
• Choose between rack-mount or tower placement based on your enclosure strategy. If rack-mounting, use the manufacturer-approved mounting kit and secure the unit to ensure stable operation and safe maintenance access.
• Commission the input power connection to a dedicated distribution circuit that matches the 230 V input specification. Verify circuit protection and ensure the installed wiring meets local electrical codes and the UPS’s grounding requirements.
• Install or connect the battery subsystem. If you’re using external batteries, connect them according to the user manual, verify proper battery polarity, and allow any required battery initialization or charge time before first use.
• Position critical loads on the UPS output outlets or via a managed outlet strip as recommended. Separate essential IT equipment from non-critical devices to maximize uptime for the most important systems.
• Power on the system and perform an initial self-test to verify normal operation. Use the built-in controls or the network-management interface to configure basic settings, alarm thresholds, and notification preferences.
• Configure power management software or a compatible remote monitoring solution to receive real-time status, automatic shutdown commands, energy usage data, and alerts. Schedule periodic self-tests and battery health checks to maintain peak readiness.
