2.3 Preparation for Installation
2.3.1
Installation Environment
Install the Liebert GXT4 indoors in a controlled environment, where it cannot be accidentally turned Off.
Place it where air flows unrestricted around the unit. The installation location must be free of water,
flammable liquids, gases, corrosives and conductive contaminants. Maintain an ambient temperature
range of 0 to 32 - 104°F (0 – 40°C).
NOTE
UPS operation in sustained temperatures outside the range of 59° – 77°F (15 – 25°C)
reduces battery life.
Installation Clearances
Maintain a clearance of at least 100 mm (4 inches) in the front and rear of the Liebert GXT4. Do not
obstruct the air inlets on the front panel or rear panel of the UPS—blocking the air inlets reduces ventilation
and heat dissipation, shortening the service life of the Liebert GXT4.
2.4 Install the Main Cabinet
The Liebert GXT4 may be installed in either a tower configuration or in a rack, depending on available
space and use considerations. Determine the type of installation and follow the appropriate instructions in
either 2.4.1 - Tower UPS Installation or 2.4.2 - Rack Installation.
2.4.1
Tower UPS Installation
To install the Liebert GXT4 as a tower:
1. Take the support bases out of the accessories bag (see Figure 2-1).
Figure 2-1 Support bases
2. If optional Liebert external battery cabinets will be connected to the Liebert GXT4, take out the spacers
shipped with the battery cabinet.
3. Connect the spacers and the support bases as shown in Figure 2-1. Each Liebert GXT4 needs two
assembled support bases, one in the front and one in the rear.
