Vertiv Liebert Rack Mount Brackets - 18"-32" Vertiv GXT5 UPS Shelf Support

The Vertiv Liebert Rack Mount Brackets are the essential mounting solution that keeps your Vertiv GXT5 UPS and battery cabinet secure, organized, and operating at peak efficiency within a rack environment. Engineered to accommodate a wide range of rack depths from 18" to 32", these brackets deliver dependable support while preserving the integrity of your cooling airflow and cable management. If you’re upgrading a data center, server room, or office IT closet, these brackets help you maximize space, minimize vibration, and simplify service access, so your critical power system stays online when it matters most.

• Optimal compatibility with Vertiv Liebert GXT5 UPS systems and related battery cabinets, designed to deliver a precise fit in racks that cap at 18"–32" in depth. This compatibility ensures secure seating, proper weight distribution, and stable performance under normal operating conditions, reducing the risk of shifting or misalignment during maintenance or in transport.
• Durable construction built for the rigors of a live data environment. Made from heavy-duty steel with a robust powder-coated finish, the brackets resist corrosion, withstand daily wear, and maintain a professional appearance even after years of rack cycling and frequent cable reconfigurations. The sturdy build helps protect your UPS shelf from flex, vibration, and accidental bumps that can occur in dense rack rows.
• Enhanced airflow and cable management support that helps maintain optimal cooling for the GXT5 UPS. The designed geometry provides clearance for front-to-back airflow, reducing hotspots around the UPS and battery cabinet. This improves energy efficiency and prolongs the life of your critical power components while keeping cabling neat and out of the way of vents and fans.
• Effortless installation with included mounting hardware and clearly defined anchor points. The brackets are designed for quick, tool-efficient mounting to standard rack rails and the UPS shelf itself, minimizing downtime during deployment or relocation. A straightforward installation process helps IT staff, facilities teams, and service vendors align brackets with precise tolerances for dependable long-term performance.
• Versatile benefits beyond mounting—these brackets support organizational clarity and maintenance convenience. By securely anchoring the GXT5 UPS shelf, they simplify routine inspections, battery replacements, and firmware updates. The result is a cleaner, safer rack environment with improved serviceability and reduced risk of stray components affecting power delivery.

How to install Vertiv Liebert Rack Mount Brackets

Installing these brackets correctly is crucial to ensure the safety, performance, and serviceability of your Vertiv Liebert GXT5 UPS setup. Follow these steps to achieve a secure and professional rack installation:

• Prepare the rack and verify that the mounting rails are clean, aligned, and free of obstructions before beginning installation. Confirm the rack depth falls within the 18"–32" specification to ensure compatibility with the brackets and the UPS shelf.
• Position the brackets on the rack rails and align the bracket holes with the rail mounting points. Use a level to confirm that the brackets sit squarely and evenly to prevent any tilt or misalignment that could affect UPS performance or cable routing.
• Attach the brackets to the rack rails using the included hardware. Tighten mounting screws securely, but avoid overtightening to prevent stripping the threads or distorting the rails. Double-check that both brackets are parallel and firmly anchored.
• Mount the GXT5 UPS shelf onto the installed brackets. Align the shelf mounting points with the bracket assemblies and secure them with the appropriate bolts or fasteners provided. Ensure the shelf sits evenly and that there is sufficient clearance for ventilation and cabling.
• Route power and communication cables with care, ensuring that cables do not press against vents or obstruct the shelf’s movement. Re-check the stability of the entire assembly after wiring and perform a light load test to confirm proper seating and electrical grounding.
