I recommend that you take a look at the settings (eg, console redirection, serial comms, etc) but don't be tempted to start changing things en masse.
As you said, both machines were working, you worked on the hardware, and now both have the same problem. Logic says that it's something you've done. This hardware has interlocks to protect the hardware (eg, it knows if a fan isn't running) so leaving one tiny cable unplugged could do something like this.
Are the processors properly seated and locked down? Stuff like that.
All too often an IT fault is responded to by reinstalling the O/S, reinstalling the app that errored, completely restoring a filesystem, and other too drastic responses like that turning the one original problem into a multitude of problems that then take ages to fix. My advice is don't be tempted but retrace your steps.

LIEBERT(8) NUT Manual LIEBERT(8)
NAME
liebert - Driver for Liebert contact-closure UPS equipment
NOTE
This man page only documents the hardware-specific features of the liebert driver. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8).
SUPPORTED HARDWARE
This driver supports some Liebert UPS equipment with a contact-closure interface. This includes the UPStation GXT2 with their
contact-closure cable. The smart mode ("Multilink") cable is not supported by this driver.
EXTRA ARGUMENTS
This driver does not support any extra settings in the ups.conf(5).
BUGS
This driver does not yet support shutdowns by raising DTR. Be aware that shutdowns are not possible with the stock contact-closure cable.
You may have to build another cable with DTR connected through to the UPS for it to work.
There is no way for this driver to detect the hardware or cable. It will start up successfully even if no UPS is present. This is a
fundamental limitation of any contact-closure driver.
SEE ALSO
