6.0 INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION
This section includes instructions on how to install, configure and perform initial electrical checks of
your UPS installation.
DO NOT attempt to start the UPS, turn on any circuit breaker or energize the input power until
instructed to do so in 7.0 - Initial Startup and Electrical Checks.
Visually inspect the UPS for freight damage. Report damage to the carrier and your local dealer or
Liebert representative.
Install the UPS indoors in a controlled environment, where it cannot be accidentally turned off. Place
it in an area of unrestricted airflow around the unit, away from water, flammable liquids, gases, cor-
rosives and other conductive contaminants. Maintain a minimum clearance of 4" (100mm) in the front
and rear of the UPS. Maintain an ambient temperature range of 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C).
6.1 Install the Main Cabinet
The GXT2-6000RT208 may be installed either as a tower unit or in a rack, depending on available
space and use considerations. Determine the type of installation and follow the appropriate instruc-
tions in either 6.1.1 - Tower UPS Installation or 6.1.2 - Installing the Adjustable Rack-Mount
Kit—Sold Separately.
6.1.1 Tower UPS Installation
When using the GXT2-6000RT208 in a tower configuration, use the included support base (shown
below, left) to stabilize the UPS.
If any external battery cabinets are added, they will include spacers to accommodate the additional
cabinets (shown below, right).

Attach Bezels to Top
When used as a tower, the GXT2-6000RT208 requires bezels attached to the top. To connect the
bezels:
1. Position the UPS so that the battery compartment is on the bottom.
2. Attach the top bezels by placing them on the mounting holes and sliding them toward the rear of
the UPS.
!
CAUTION
The UPS is heavy (see 14.0 - Specifications). Take proper precautions when lifting or
moving it.
NOTE
UPS operation in sustained temperatures above 77°F (25°C) reduces battery life.
