UPS Vertiv Liebert GXT5 Lithium-Ion 1500VA/1500W 230V Tower/Rack, 8x C13, Li‑Ion battery, 2U

The Vertiv Liebert GXT5 Lithium-Ion 1500VA/1500W is an online double-conversion UPS designed for 230V systems and built to protect critical IT equipment in server rooms, network closets and edge locations. Its compact black metal housing fits as a tower or a 2U rack unit and supplies reliable, continuous power conditioning together with lithium‑ion battery backup. The unit provides eight C13 outlets and balanced output capacity to support servers, switches and other infrastructure devices while reducing maintenance needs through longer‑life battery technology.

Advantages

The GXT5 Li‑Ion combines online double-conversion topology with lithium‑ion batteries to deliver stable, clean power and extended battery lifetime compared with VRLA alternatives. Lithium‑ion cells support more discharge cycles, faster recharge and improved performance at elevated temperatures, which reduces total cost of ownership and lowers the frequency of battery replacements. The compact 2U/tower form factor and 8 C13 outlets simplify deployment in rack or small footprint installations while hot‑swappable, user‑replaceable batteries allow service without shutting down protected equipment.

Suitable for

• Small to medium rack servers and blade servers in 2U or tower layouts
• Network switches, routers and edge networking devices
• Storage arrays, NAS devices and backup appliances
• Point‑of‑sale systems, branch office IT and critical edge computing
• Environments requiring higher temperature resilience and reduced battery maintenance

How to use

Install the UPS either as a tower or mount it in a standard 19" rack using the included 2U mounting hardware. Connect incoming AC mains to the UPS input, then plug your servers, network switches and other critical devices into the eight C13 outlets. Configure the UPS management settings using the front panel or an attached management interface as required by your environment. For optimal protection, ensure the UPS is sized so its rated output power covers the combined load of connected equipment and check that runtime matches your backup requirements. If battery replacement is needed, follow the user manual to hot‑swap the battery pack without interrupting power to connected devices.

Usage recommendations

Place the unit in a well‑ventilated environment within the recommended ambient temperature range and keep clear airflow around the vents. Verify the total connected load does not exceed 1500 W and schedule periodic battery health checks. Use the UPS monitoring tools to receive alerts and perform firmware updates as provided by the manufacturer. For deployments in higher temperature or mission‑critical sites, consider routine maintenance intervals and testing to maximize uptime.
