how to install Vertiv Liebert GXT5 UPS

• Choose a stable, well-ventilated location with adequate clearance for cooling and service access. Ensure the floor can support the weight of the UPS and any connected equipment, and plan cable routes that minimize tension on power cables and allow easy maintenance access.
• Decide between rack-mount or standalone tower configuration. For rack mounting, install appropriate rails and fasteners according to your space constraints and ensure the unit is level and securely anchored. For a tower setup, position the unit on a solid surface with clearance around the intake and exhaust openings.
• Connect the UPS to the building power supply and to the protected loads. Use appropriate circuit breakers and power distribution hardware to ensure balanced loading. Verify that input power meets the specified voltage requirements (208V or 120V, as configured) and that protection devices are compatible with the UPS.
• Attach management interfaces for monitoring and control. Plug in the USB/Serial cable to a maintenance workstation and install any required drivers or shutdown software. If you’re using an optional Network Management Card, install it in the dedicated slot and configure network settings for remote access.
• Power up the system and run a self-test. Confirm normal operation by checking the status indicators and logging any fault messages. Configure alert thresholds, notification methods, and shutdown policies for connected servers to ensure graceful recovery during outages.
