How to Install Vertiv Liebert GXT5 UPS

• Choose the installation location: Select a cool, well-ventilated area with adequate clearance for airflow and maintenance access. Ensure the space can support the weight of the unit in both rack and floor configurations.
• Prepare the mounting: If mounting in a rack, install the appropriate rails and hardware according to the rack manufacturer’s instructions. For floor-standing use, position the unit on a stable surface with vibration-free support.
• Connect the input power: Route the 208V input from the building electrical system to the UPS input, using the correct circuit protection and wiring per local electrical codes. Ensure the input cable length is minimized to reduce losses and that the outlet or distribution panel can handle the load.
• Connect protected equipment: Plug servers, networking gear, storage devices, and other critical loads into the UPS output receptacles. Maintain a balanced load across outlets to optimize performance and runtime margins.
• Configure management and monitoring: Attach any required network management options or control panels. Set up notifications, automatic self-tests, and runtime expectations. Verify that the UPS communicates with your monitoring system and that alerts are routed to IT staff.
• Power on and test: Turn on the unit and run a self-test to verify proper operation. Check for any fault indicators and confirm that the UPS maintains output during simulated and real outages. Document the test results for compliance and audits.
