Switched Rack PDU Installation and Quick-Start Manual 7

APC Management Card

Wizard

You can use the APC Management Card Wizard at a Windows

98,

Windows NT

4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP computer to

configure a PDU.

1. Insert the APC Switched Rack PDU Utility CD into a computer on

your network.

2. Launch the Wizard, when prompted, or, if prompted to restart the

computer, access the Wizard from the Start menu after the

computer has restarted.

3. Wait for the Wizard to discover the unconfigured PDU, then follow

the on-screen instructions.

BOOTP & DHCP

configuration

The Boot Mode setting, a TCP/IP option in the Switched Rack PDU’s

Network menu, identifies how TCP/IP settings will be defined. The

possible settings are Manual, DHCP only, BOOTP only, and DHCP &

BOOTP (the default setting).

With Boot Mode set to DHCP & BOOTP, the Switched Rack PDU

attempts to discover a properly configured server. It first searches for a

BOOTP server, and then a DHCP server. It repeats this pattern until it

discovers a BOOTP or DHCP server.

Note

If you leave the Start a Web browser when finished

option enabled, you can use apc for both the user name

and password to access the Switched Rack PDU through

your browser.

Note

The DHCP & BOOTP setting assumes that a properly

configured DHCP or BOOTP server is available to provide

TCP/IP settings to the APC Switched Rack PDU. If these

servers are unavailable, see “APC Management Card

Wizard” on page 7, “Local access to the control console” on

page 10, or “Remote access to the control console” on

page 10 to configure the TCP/IP settings.

For more information, see “BOOTP” on page 8 or “DHCP”

on page 9.
