Vertiv Liebert GXT5 UPS - 15kVA/15kW Online Rack/Tower, 208/120 VAC, Energy Star

The Vertiv Liebert GXT5 UPS delivers enterprise-grade protection for servers, storage, networking gear, and edge devices. This 15 kVA / 15 kW online double-conversion uninterruptible power supply provides continuous power conditioning that isolates critical equipment from the widest range of power disturbances—sags, surges, spikes, and outages—while maintaining pristine voltage and stable frequency. Built for centralized data centers and distributed edge deployments, the GXT5 combines reliability with flexibility, supporting both rack and tower configurations to optimize space planning in IT rooms, telecom closets, and remote sites. With a unity power factor (1.0), it uses watts efficiently and helps you maximize usable load capacity without oversizing. Energy Star certification underscores its focus on reducing operating costs and energy waste over the system’s life, making it a smart choice for organizations aiming to protect uptime while lowering total cost of ownership.

• Online double-conversion topology delivers pristine, uninterrupted power with continuous conditioning, protecting sensitive IT loads from all mains irregularities and providing ultra-fast transition to battery during disturbances.
• Unity power factor of 1.0 means the UPS supplies full kW capacity, enabling you to power more equipment with the same kVA rating and optimize rack space and load planning.
• Flexible form factor for rack-mount and tower installations, allowing seamless integration in data centers, server rooms, and edge environments without redesigning the space.
• Voltage versatility for modern IT: output configured for 208 VAC or 120 VAC to match your critical equipment and reduce the need for additional power conditioning, with scalable runtime when you need longer outages or maintenance windows.
• Built-in management and monitoring capabilities that support remote visibility, alerting, and health checks, helping IT teams anticipate failures, accelerate responses, and simplify lifecycle management.

How to install Vertiv Liebert GXT5 UPS-15kVA/15kW/208 and 120VAC|Online Rack/Tower Energy Star

• Choose a location with adequate rack space or a stable surface for tower deployment, ensuring sufficient ventilation, clearance for cable routing, and adherence to clearance specifications in the installation guide.
• If rack-mounted, install the unit into a compatible rack with the appropriate mounting kit; for tower setups, place the UPS on a level surface and secure it to prevent movement during operation.
• Connect the input power to a dedicated electrical circuit that matches the UPS input specifications, with proper grounding and overcurrent protection as required by electrical codes.
• Connect your critical loads to the UPS output. Plan for load segmentation where appropriate to ensure essential devices stay powered during disturbances and outages.
• Install any optional battery modules or external runtimes as needed; allow batteries to acclimate and perform a system self-test after connection to verify battery health and overall readiness.
• Connect management interfaces (USB, serial, network management card if applicable) and install the vendor-provided software on a management workstation to enable monitoring, alerts, and graceful shutdown automation.
• Power up the UPS and run the built-in self-test. Verify that notifications, status indicators, and software dashboards reflect normal operation, and configure runtime settings and alert thresholds based on your service levels.
