How to install Vertiv Liebert PSA5 UPS

• Choose a stable, well-ventilated location near the devices you want to protect and close to a standard 120V outlet.
• Place the PSA5 on a desk, shelf, or floor space that allows easy access to outlets and the battery compartment for maintenance if needed.
• Connect your critical devices (such as a computer, monitor, router, and network storage) to the UPS’s battery-backed outlets to ensure they remain powered during an outage.
• Plug the UPS into a mains outlet and allow the battery to charge fully before relying on it for extended protection; this initial charge helps maximize runtime and reliability.
• If included, install any compatible monitoring software to configure alerts, shutdown settings, and notifications; otherwise, use the built-in LEDs and audible alarms to monitor status and respond to events.
• Test the system by simulating a power interruption to verify proper shutdown procedures and to confirm that connected equipment remains protected during a real outage.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What devices can I protect with the PSA5 UPS?
  A: The PSA5 is designed to protect essential electronics such as desktop computers, displays, networking gear (routers, switches), NAS devices, external hard drives, and other small business or home-office equipment that require stable power and backup during outages.
• Q: What does Line-Interactive AVR mean for my gear?
  A: Line-Interactive AVR continually regulates voltage to maintain a steady output even when mains quality fluctuates, reducing the risk of damage from brownouts and surges while conserving battery life for actual outages.
• Q: How long will the PSA5 keep my devices running?
  A: Runtime depends on the load and the battery’s condition. The PSA5 is designed to provide sufficient backup for essential devices during short outages, but exact minutes of runtime vary with how much power your connected equipment consumes and the battery’s age.
• Q: How should I maintain the PSA5 UPS?
  A: Keep the unit in a cool, ventilated area away from direct heat or moisture. Periodically check the status LEDs, listen for alarms, and exercise the UPS by performing a test shutdown to ensure proper operation of backup and shutdown features.
• Q: Can I expand or upgrade the PSA5 with additional peripherals?
  A: The PSA5 is designed as a self-contained protection solution for a defined load. If you need to protect more devices, evaluate additional UPS units or a larger UPS model depending on your total power requirements and network protection needs.
