How to install Vertiv Liebert GXT5 UPS
Installing the Liebert GXT5 is straightforward and designed to minimize disruption to your IT environment. Begin by selecting a location with ample ventilation and clearance for hot-air exhaust and for maintenance access. If you’re mounting in a rack, use the appropriate rack-mount kit and secure the unit to prevent movement. For floor placement, ensure the surface is stable and level to prevent vibration. Position the UPS away from direct sunlight, moisture, and dust-rich areas to preserve battery life and overall performance.
Next, connect the UPS to a dedicated 120V power source using the supplied input power cord. Do not daisy-chain power from other equipment into the UPS—proper isolation helps protect the unit and the devices connected to it. After securing the power feed, connect your protected IT equipment to the UPS output receptacles, prioritizing critical devices such as servers and network infrastructure. If you require network-based monitoring, connect the USB and/or RS-232 management ports to a computer or console, and install compatible monitoring software as needed.
Power on the UPS and verify that the status indicators show normal operation. If the unit includes any battery packs, allow a brief charge period before placing the protected devices under load. Finally, configure your shutdown policies and alert thresholds through the management interface. Set up automatic shutdown for prolonged outages, establish alert emails or SNMP traps if applicable, and test the graceful shutdown procedure to confirm your servers will shut down safely in the event of a long-term power event.
For ongoing reliability, document the UPS placement in your facility’s power plan, keep a replacement battery strategy in place, and perform regular maintenance checks as recommended by Vertiv. Periodic tests of battery health, firmware updates, and environmental monitoring help sustain peak performance and prolong the life of the Liebert GXT5.
