How to Install Vertiv Liebert GXT5 UPS

• Plan your deployment in a well-ventilated area with adequate clearance for airflow and battery access. Decide whether to mount in a rack or place in tower configuration based on your equipment and space constraints.
• Power down all connected devices and ensure the power distribution area is free from moisture and dust before installation.
• Mount the UPS in the chosen orientation: securely bolt the unit into the rack rails or position it on a stable stand or shelf, ensuring it remains level and unobstructed for cooling and service access.
• Connect the UPS input plug to a dedicated, properly grounded 120V circuit. Avoid loading the circuit beyond the specified limits to prevent nuisance tripping and ensure stable input power.
• Connect protected equipment to the UPS output receptacles. Distribute critical devices on prioritized outlets to maximize uptime during a power event.
• Attach communication cables (USB and, if available, serial) to a management workstation. If you’re using an optional network management card, install it according to the manufacturer’s guidance and connect to your monitoring network.
• Power on the UPS and perform an initial self-test. Use the LCD/LED indicators or management software to verify that the UPS recognizes the load and battery health. Configure alerting thresholds, shutdown policies, and runtime expectations to suit your environment.
• Schedule routine battery tests and firmware updates as part of your ongoing maintenance plan to ensure peak reliability and extend the life of the unit.
