How to Install [product]

Installing the Vertiv Liebert hot-swap internal 48V, 5 Ah battery is a straightforward process designed to minimize downtime and keep your Liebert GXT4 UPS running smoothly. Follow these general steps to ensure a safe and effective swap, while always referencing your specific Liebert GXT4 service manual for model-specific instructions.

1. Prepare the workspace. Ensure you are standing on a clean, dry surface and that the area is free from liquids or conductive materials. Have a static-safe workspace and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) on hand. Although the hot-swap design is intended to minimize downtime, always follow facility safety policies.

2. Power considerations. If your organization uses a hot-swap-enabled maintenance procedure, you may swap without fully powering down the UPS. If not, follow standard shutdown procedures for your Liebert GXT4 and connected equipment before beginning the battery replacement. Confirm that the UPS is in a safe state for battery removal or replacement per your local policy.

3. Access the battery compartment. Locate the battery access panel on the Liebert GXT4 unit and remove any securing screws or latches as required by your model. Carefully open the compartment to expose the internal battery module.

4. Disconnect the existing battery module. Gently disconnect the battery plug or fastenings from the UPS interface, taking care not to disturb any surrounding wiring. Note the orientation and connectors to ensure correct reassembly with the new battery.

5. Install the new battery module. Align the hot-swap internal 48V, 5 Ah battery with the designated slot and connectors inside the compartment. Reconnect the battery interface exactly as the previous module was connected, secure the module in place, and close the access panel.

6. Power-on and verify. If the installation procedure requires the UPS to be powered back on, follow standard startup steps for the Liebert GXT4. Check for normal LED indicators, ensure the unit recognizes the new battery, and run a brief self-test as prescribed by the manufacturer to confirm proper operation.

7. Test runtime and ensure readiness. After installation, monitor the UPS status and, if feasible, perform a controlled load test to confirm the new battery provides the expected backup runtime. Maintain documentation of the battery replacement for future maintenance planning.

Note: Always refer to the Liebert GXT4 user and service manuals for model-specific instructions and safety guidance. If you are unsure about hot-swapping procedures or life safety considerations, contact a trained technician or Vertiv support to perform the installation.
