Vertiv™ Liebert® GXT5 Safety Guidelines

UPS SAFETY NOTES

The UPS contains no user-serviceable parts except the battery pack. Do not remove the cover. Removing the cover may
result in electric shock and will invalidate any implied warranty. The UPS has an internal battery, so the output receptacles
of the UPS may carry live voltage even if the UPS is not connected to mains input power.

Before moving or rewiring the UPS, disconnect mains input power and the battery and make sure that the UPS is
completely shut down. Otherwise, the output terminal may carry live voltage, presenting an electric shock hazard. To ensure
human safety and normal UPS operation, the UPS must be properly grounded before use. When the UPS is connected to an
IT power distribution system, the short-circuit protection device must be installed on the neutral line. Install and use the
UPS in the following environments:

• Temperature: 32°F - 122°F (0°C - 50°C); relative humidity: 0% to 95%

• Out of direct sunlight
• Away from heat source
• Stable surface, not subject to vibrations or shocks
• Away from dust and other particulates
• Away from corrosive substances, salts and flammable gases

Keep the air inlet and outlet of the UPS unobstructed. Poor ventilation will increase the UPS internal temperature and can
shorten the life of the UPS and its batteries. Keep liquid and other foreign objects away from the UPS. In case of fire, use a
dry chemical fire extinguisher to put out the fire. Using a fluid fire extinguisher may cause electric shock. This UPS is not
intended for use with life support and other designated critical devices. Maximum load must not exceed that shown on the
UPS rating label. This UPS is designed for data processing equipment. If uncertain, consult your local dealer or company
representative.

NOTE: Proper ventilation needs to be ensured.

Electromagnetic Compatibility

This UPS complies with the limits for a Class A digital device. Operating this device in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference that users must correct at their own expense. This UPS complies with the requirements of EMC
Directive 2014/30/ EU and the published technical standards. Continued compliance requires installation in accordance
with these instructions anduse of accessories approved by Vertiv™.

 Vertiv™| VRC-S User Manual

2 Introduction
The Vertiv™ VRC-S product line is an IT rack-cooling solution equipped with a network-enabled rPDU and is designed for
critical equipment in small server rooms, network closets and edge computing spaces.

The Vertiv VRC-S is available in these series with either 120 V, 208 V, or 230 V:

• VRCS3350: 42U 800 x 1200

• VRCS3300: 42U 600 x 1200
• VRCS3307: 48U 600 x 1200
• VRCS3357: 48U 800 x 1200

The Vertiv VRC-S is based on the Vertiv™ VR rack. The cabinet is equipped with a Vertiv™ VRC 3.5 kW cooling unit, a
Vertiv™ Geist™ rPDU, optional with Liebert® GXT5™ UPS and sensors, as well as venting to convey heat from the cabinet
into an adjacent space or out of the area. SNMP and Modbus-RTU connectivity permit connection to a building
management system for remote monitoring. See Specifications on page 41 for more information.

A backup fan on the rear door is actuated when the temperature at the top front of the cabinet exceeds 32°C (86°F). The fan
shuts off when the temperature sensor, installed at the top front of the cabinet, senses that the temperature has dropped
below 32°C (86°F).

2.1 Environmental Conditions

The Vertiv VRC-S must be installed and operated indoors, within a temperature range of 18°C-30°C (64.4°F-86°F),
condensing and less than 80% relative humidity (non-condensing).

Operating the Vertiv VRC-S in extreme environments may cause condensation inside the cabinet. The VRC-S is not
environmental neutral. The user is encouraged to try to correct this condition by these measures:

• Increasing the supply air operating temperature of the Vertiv™ VRC module. Refer to Operation on page 31 for
details.
• Reducing the relative humidity in the operating environment. This can be accomplished through passive
means by adding louvers to doors or walls for more ventilation; or by cooling the room through the building's
cooling system.

2.2 Integrated Rack Characteristics

The cabinet is a Vertiv™ VR rack designed to promote separation of cool supply air from the heat rejected by the IT loads
within the rack.

• solid, sheet-metal sides

• solid top and bottom panels
• air baffles to promote cooling air circulation

For the Vertiv™ VRC-S, the rack also has a factory-installed backup fan on the rear door. The backup fan is connected to the
Geist™ rPDU for backup power and network connectivity. A sensor at the front of the cabinet automatically senses any rise
in cabinet temperature and, in emergency situations, signals the fan to exhaust the warmer air from the rack. The backup fan
is actuated when the temperature at the top front of the rack exceeds 32°C (86°F). It switches Off when the temperature
drops below that threshold.

2 Introduction 7
Vertiv™ VRC-S User Manual

The Vertiv VRC-S, painted RAL 7021 as are its main components, may be controlled through the Geist rPDU, which is
network-enabled and permits remote monitoring and management over a network. A display that may be installed on the
rack's back door, provides local monitoring and control of the Vertiv™ VRC.

The Vertiv™ VRC-S easily accepts either the Vertiv™ Liebert® PSI5 or Vertiv™ Liebert® GXT5 UPS and the Geist rPDU
family of products to provide conditioned and backup power to the rack equipment.

IMPORTANT! If a UPS is installed, it should be installed immediately above the Vertiv VRC. Installing
the UPS higher in the rack could result in a tipping hazard.

2.3 Vertiv VRC Characteristics

The Vertiv VRC cooling unit may be either 120 V, 208 V or 230 V. Each unit will deliver up to 3.5 kW of cooling/heat removal
to the rack-mounted equipment.

The Vertiv™ VRC-S must be installed indoors in an environment with a temperature range of 18°C-30°C (64.4°F-86°F) and
less than 80% relative humidity (non-condensing).

For VRC-S with VRC split the outdoor temperature range is -15°C (5°F) to 45°C (113°F).

For VRC-S with VRC split lee temp the outdoor temperature range is -34°C (-29.2°F) to 45°C (113°F).

4 Installation
NOTE: EMEA version: all parts are factory installed.

Assemble the Vertiv™ VRC-S as detailed in documentation for the Vertiv™ VR solution and Vertiv™ VRC. This
documentation shipped inside the rack. However, assembly will be eased by performing these steps before sliding the
cooling unit into the rack:

• Attach the condensate pump and the transition piece to the Vertiv VRC (perform Section 4.3 in the Vertiv VRC
manual before Section 4.1). The pump installation includes attaching the 25-foot (7.5 m) drain tubing if the
shorter, factory-attached piece is not adequate. The drain tube used should be checked for kinks before
attachment. After attaching the tubing, push about half an inch through the outlet hole in the pump shroud.

IMPORTANT! When installing the brass condensate fitting, do not use a wrench. Using a wrench may
cause overtightening and damage internal components. Hand-tighten the fitting only. The tube is a
gravity drain only and is not pressurized.

• For Vertiv VRC Self-Containted, attach the transition piece to the cooling unit (perform Section 4.2 in the Vertiv
VRC manual before Section 4.1). The transition piece is attached to the rear of the cooling unit with six screws.
The lower screws will be easier to manipulate before the cooling unit is inside the rack.
• Attach the condensate pump and bracket (perform Section 4.3 in the Vertiv VRC manual before Section 4.1).
• Install the filter in the Vertiv VRC. The cooling unit has a filter on the top rear that collects particulates from the
return air going back into the Vertiv VRC. The brackets holding the filter in place may need to be loosened
before the filter can be inserted. This is done more easily before the Vertiv VRC is inserted into the cabinet.
Note that the filter has an arrow to indicate the airflow direction.

NOTE: Do not discard the handles removed from the Vertiv VRC cooling unit after sliding it into the
Vertiv VR. Retain the handles and the bolts for use in handling the cooling unit should it need to be
removed from the cabinet.

4.1 Prepare the Rack to Receive the Rack Cooling Unit

(Vertiv™ VRC-S Self-Contained)
Inserting cage nuts into the proper slots in the rack's rails before sliding the Vertiv VRC into the rack will also ease
assembly. The cage nuts may be inserted after the cooling unit is in the rack, but tighter quarters with the cooling unit
inside the rack means there will be less room to manipulate the cage nuts.

The cage nuts are used to attach the rack cooling unit to the rack's rails and to attach air baffles in the front of the rack even
with the top of the Vertiv VRC. Cage nuts are supplied with the rack. They may be found in the bag attached with the
manuals inside the rack.

Install cage nuts at these positions, except the 10U positions, on each of the cabinet's four rails. Insert cage nuts at the 10U
positions, 6U for split in the front rails only.

4.2 Install the Vertiv™ VRC (Vertiv™ VRC-S with Vertiv VRC
Self-Contained)
Prepare the rack to receive the Rack Cooling Unit (self contained) and install the Vertiv VRC in the rack as described in the
unit's manual, which shipped with the Vertiv™ VRC-S. For the M6x12 T30 screws, used to secure the Vertiv VRC to the EIA-
rails, use 5.6 Nm (4.13 ft-lb.) tightening torque.

4.3 Attach Air Baffles (Vertiv VRC-S with VRC self-

contained)
Two air baffles are supplied to help cooling air circulate efficiently inside the rack equipment section of Vertiv VRC-S. Cage
nuts should have been attached to the rails before the Vertiv VRC was inserted into the cabinet.

Air barrier placement on the Vertiv VRC-S uprights varies according to the size of your rack. Depending on the cabinet
model, there is a tab on the air barrier that is bent up (600 mm (23.62 in.) cabinet) or bent down (800 mm (31.5 in.) cabinet).

cables' connections.

To route the cables for the local display and the fan:

1. Open the rear door of the Vertiv™ VRC-S.

2. Route the local display and fan cables around the outside edge of the fan housing and up to the top of the door.
3. Use a factory-supplied cable tie to bundle the two cables as shown in Figure 4.7 on the next page and as
detailed below.
a. Place the cables against the pad on the cable tie.

IMPORTANT! The cables must be properly placed in the cable tie so they can be positioned under the
lip of the door for protection against pinching.

b. Slip the longer end around the cables and through the ratcheted end of the cable tie.
c. Pull the cable tie until it is snug around the cables.
d. Snip off the excess cable to ease attachment to the door.
4. Leaving adequate slack in the cables, press the clip onto the top inner edge of the rear door as shown in Figure
4.7 on the next page . The cables should be under the door's lip to prevent pinching.
5. Repeat 3 to attach at least one more cable tied bundle near the hinged edge of the door.
6. Leaving adequate slack in the cables for the door to open, secure the cables to the rack rail near the Geist™
rPDU.
7. Secure the cables to the rack rail as needed for good cable management.

Contained)
Depending on the site's cooling requirements, warm air from the Vertiv™ VRC-S may be exhausted into the room. There it
may be handled by room cooling units or absorbed by the ambient air.

The Vertiv VRC-S includes a flexible duct and two ceiling tiles, one to move warm air from the Vertiv VRC-C into the ceiling
or and adjacent area through the duct. The second tile is for make-up air to deliver enough fresh air to the room.

WARNING! The two air traces (warm air and make-up air) must be separated.

The factory-supplied ducting attaches to the transition piece on the rear of the Vertiv VRC with a large hose clamp (factory-
supplied) that tightens around the two pieces. The ceiling grille may be used where a conventional dropped ceiling with
frames is used. The flexible ducting connects to the ceiling tile with the second hose clamp supplied by the factory.
