Product Details
Power Source AC-powered
What IT environments is the GXT5-1500LVRT2UXL best suited for?
This UPS is designed for small to medium enterprise server rooms, network closets, and edge computing sites requiring 1350W of protected power. The 2U rack/tower design fits standard 19-inch equipment racks or operates as a freestanding tower unit. Online double conversion topology makes it ideal for environments with unstable utility power, generator backup systems, or equipment sensitive to voltage fluctuations.
How does the 1500VA GXT5 model compare to the 3000VA model in the same series?
The 1500VA model provides 1350W output versus 2700W in the 3000VA unit, making it suitable for lighter server loads or smaller equipment configurations. Both share the same 2U form factor, online double conversion topology, and hot-swappable battery design. Choose the 1500VA for single server protection or small network equipment clusters where power requirements stay below 1350W.
Is the 1500VA capacity worth the investment compared to line-interactive UPS models?
Online double conversion topology provides zero transfer time and continuous power conditioning that line-interactive units cannot match, making it essential for critical servers and networking equipment. The higher efficiency (95% online, 98% ECO mode) and programmable outlets justify the investment for organizations requiring maximum uptime. The hot-swappable batteries and external battery cabinet compatibility also reduce long-term maintenance costs.
What equipment and management systems work with this UPS?
The unit connects to any 120VAC equipment using standard NEMA 5-15R outlets and supports loads up to 1350W total. USB and serial ports enable communication with Windows, Linux, and VMware systems running Vertiv Power Insight software. The optional IntelliSlot RDU120 card adds SNMP network management for integration with enterprise monitoring platforms. The 10-foot attached input cord connects to standard NEMA 5-15 wall outlets or PDUs.
How long does the internal battery provide backup power?
Internal sealed lead-acid batteries deliver 6.7 minutes at full 1350W load or 18.8 minutes at 675W half load. Adding the GXT5-EBC48VRT2U external battery cabinet extends runtime to 32.4 minutes at full load or 79.7 minutes at half load. The UPS recharges batteries to 90% capacity within three hours after discharge.
Can the batteries be replaced without shutting down connected equipment?
Yes, the GXT5-1500LVRT2UXL features hot-swappable batteries that allow replacement during operation without transferring connected equipment to utility power. Use the GXT5-48VBATKIT replacement battery kit for internal battery maintenance. The user-replaceable design eliminates the need for service technician visits for routine battery changes.
What mounting hardware is required for rack installation?
The included 4-post rack mounting kit (RMKIT18-32) provides all hardware needed for standard 19-inch equipment racks with adjustable depth rails. The unit installs in 2U of rack space and supports front flush or center mounting. For 2-post racks, the optional 2POSTRMKIT enables front flush or center mount installation, while the 2UTELECOMRKIT fits 19-inch telecom racks with center mount only.
How does the programmable outlet feature work?
Four of the six NEMA 5-15R outlets are programmable through the LCD interface or management software for load shedding and power sequencing. Program these outlets to shut down non-critical equipment during extended outages to preserve battery runtime for essential systems. The two non-programmable outlets remain energized as long as battery power is available, ensuring critical equipment stays protected.
