With a compact footprint that fits both tower and rack installations, the Liebert GXT5 Lithium-Ion N protects against outages, voltage sags, surges, and harmonic distortions, giving your IT infrastructure the breathing room it needs to stay up and running even during power disturbances.

• Online double-conversion topology with pure sine wave output: The Liebert GXT5 Li-Ion N continuously converts incoming power to DC and back to AC, delivering a clean, stable output that is independent of fluctuating mains. This results in near-zero transfer times and ultralow voltage distortion, safeguarding sensitive servers, storage, and networking gear from harmful power irregularities. Ideal for data centers, edge computing nodes, and critical workloads that demand consistent performance and data integrity.
• Lithium-Ion battery technology for longer life and lighter weight: Transitioning to lithium-ion batteries, the GXT5 N offers extended battery life and reduced maintenance compared to traditional lead-acid systems. The lighter battery packs improve portability during installation and service, while delivering consistent performance across a longer design life. This means fewer battery replacements, lower total cost of ownership, and a smaller environmental footprint for facilities managers.
• Flexible form factor: Tower or Rack-mount, 1000 VA / 1000 W capacity: The GXT5 Lithium-Ion N is engineered for adaptable deployment in diverse environments. It supports both tower and rack configurations, enabling seamless integration into existing IT furniture and cabinets. With a 1000 VA / 1000 W rating, it provides solid backing for essential equipment workloads, offering dedicated DC-to-AC power conversion and clean energy delivery that helps maintain uptime during disturbances.
• High efficiency and scalable runtime options: Built to help companies optimize energy use, the GXT5 Li-Ion N emphasizes efficient operation under load while keeping heat generation and noise to a minimum. For longer runtime during extended outages, it supports scalable expansion with additional battery modules, allowing facilities to tailor the backup duration to their operational needs without overhauling the installation.
• Comprehensive remote monitoring and management: Integrated management capabilities include local display interfaces and remote monitoring via USB, serial, and network options. This enables real-time status reporting, event logging, automatic alerts, and graceful shutdowns for protected equipment. With compatible software and management tools, IT teams can proactively monitor health, power quality, and runtime to prevent downtime and maintain service levels.

How to install Vertiv Liebert GXT5 Lithium-Ion N UPS

• Plan the installation location to maximize airflow, minimize heat, and keep the unit within reach of power and data connections. Decide whether to mount the UPS in a rack or place it as a tower, ensuring stability and adequate clearance for ventilation.
• Power down and unplug all equipment that will be connected to the UPS during installation. Inspect the UPS and battery modules for any transit damage and verify all components are present according to the packing list.
• Mount the UPS in the chosen configuration (rack rails or freestanding tower). Secure all hardware according to the manufacturer’s guidelines to prevent movement during operation or service.
• Connect the UPS input to a properly grounded 120 V AC outlet. Do not connect high-draw devices directly to the UPS input without ensuring the load stays within the rated capacity.
• Connect protected equipment to the UPS output outlets. Separate critical devices from non-critical devices if desired to optimize battery usage and load distribution.
• Attach the management interface (USB/Serial) and configure the network options if available. Use the LCD panel or compatible software to set voltage thresholds, alarm notifications, auto-shutdown policies, and notification recipients.
• Power on the UPS and run a battery test to verify the system responds correctly to load. Check for proper communication with connected devices and confirm that the UPS provides clean power to the protected equipment.
• Document the installation, including load distribution, expected runtime, and maintenance schedule. Establish a routine to monitor the unit’s health and replace batteries or modules as recommended by Vertiv.
