VERTIV Startup Service | Warranty inspection check sheet to establish your equipment warranty

Ensure your equipment begins its life cycle with confidence by choosing the VERTIV Startup Service. This warranty inspection service is designed to verify that your unit is installed correctly, powered up safely, and operating at peak performance from day one. By performing a thorough on-site system check and startup conducted by a VERTIV-certified professional, you gain objective validation that your installation meets spec, supports warranty eligibility, and lays a solid foundation for long-term reliability. The startup service is backed by a detailed, customer-facing check sheet that documents prerequisites, exclusions, and all steps taken to maximize product life and minimize downtime.

• Comprehensive installation verification: Our trained technicians review critical installation parameters to confirm proper mounting, alignment, electrical connections, venting, and sensor placement. This ensures there are no hidden setup issues that could compromise performance or void the warranty later on. A meticulous check of device cleanness, secure fastenings, and proper cabling is performed to prevent vibration, overheating, or misreadings during operation.
• Rigorous startup and functional testing: After confirming correct installation, on-site startup is executed with real-time diagnostics. System fans, cooling circuits, power supplies, alarms, and control panels are tested to validate safe, stable operation. The service includes calibration checks and parameter verifications so that the unit reaches its stated specifications immediately after startup.
• Warranty readiness and documentation: The startup service provides a formal check sheet that records installation conditions, readiness milestones, and startup results. This documentation helps establish clear warranty eligibility and provides a defendable record should questions arise during the warranty term. It also reduces ambiguity by detailing prerequisites and exclusions up front.
• Preventive maintenance groundwork: By catching potential issues early—such as minor electrical variations, sensor drift, or airflow restrictions—the service helps prevent unexpected downtime. The proactive approach supports longer equipment life and steadier performance, giving you a reliable foundation for mission-critical operations.
• Customized prerequisites and customer collaboration: The service emphasizes collaboration with the customer. You’ll be asked to provide necessary mounting hardware as required and confirm that all preparatory activities (civil works) have been completed. This collaborative model ensures the startup process is tailored to your site while preserving warranty validity.
