How to Install Vertiv Liebert POD PD2

• Plan the installation by confirming the POD PD2 outlet configuration matches your load requirements and that it is compatible with your GXT4 8-10kVA UPS system.
• Power down for initial safety if required by your facility’s maintenance procedures, then verify that the UPS is prepared for maintenance access with the ability to engage the bypass function.
• Position the POD PD2 in a suitable location near the UPS and within reach of the loads it will serve. Ensure adequate space for ventilation and cable management to maintain airflow and organization.
• Connect the POD PD2’s input wiring to the corresponding UPS output circuits, and route each load to the appropriate outlets (NEMA 5-20R, L6-30R, L6-20R) according to your load plan and labeling standards.
• Engage the built-in maintenance bypass when performing UPS service or replacement, following the manufacturer’s safety procedures to transfer power from the UPS to the bypass path as required.
• Test the configuration by energizing the loads and verifying that power flows normally through the POD PD2 during standard operation and that the maintenance bypass permits safe UPS maintenance without impacting connected equipment.
