How to Install Vertiv Liebert Rack Mount Brackets

• Prepare the rack and equipment: Power down the UPS and disconnect any connected devices to ensure safe handling. If your rack has existing brackets or rails, ensure they are compatible with the 2U center-mount design or remove them according to your facility’s procedures.
• Position the brackets: Align the two metal brackets with the sides of the Vertiv Liebert GXT UPS or battery cabinet. The center-mount design should align with the vertical centerline of the 19-inch rack to maintain balanced weight distribution.
• Attach the brackets to the UPS: Secure the brackets to the sides of the UPS unit using the appropriate hardware. If your kit and UPS shipment include mounting screws or spacers, use them as directed by your rack policy and hardware guidelines. Ensure the brackets are firmly tightened but avoid over-tightening to prevent deformation.
• Slide into the rack: With the brackets secured to the UPS, carefully lift and slide the assembled unit into the 19-inch rack rails. Verify that the unit sits evenly in the rack and that cables have sufficient clearance for front panel access and rear cabling.
• Secure and manage cables: Once the UPS is positioned, fasten the brackets to the rack posts if applicable, then route and secure power and data cables. Maintain clean cable management paths to promote airflow, reduce wear, and simplify maintenance tasks.
• Power up and verify: Reconnect all power and communication lines, restore power, and test the UPS startup sequence to confirm proper operation and rack stability. Confirm that the front panel indicators and software interfaces reflect the correct status for efficient monitoring.
