Switched Rack PDU

110

Use FTP or SCP to upgrade multiple Rack PDUs. To upgrade multiple Switched

Rack PDUs using an FTP client or using SCP, write a script which automatically

performs the procedure. For FTP, use the steps in Use FTP or SCP to upgrade one

Rack PDU.

Use XMODEM to upgrade one Rack PDU

To use XMODEM to upgrade the firmware for a single Switched Rack PDU that is not

on the network:

1. Obtain the individual firmware modules (the AOS module and the application

module) from the support section of the APC Web site www.apc.com/tools/

download.

2. Select a serial port at the local computer and disable any service that uses the port.

3. Connect the advanced signaling cable that came with the Rack PDU to the selected

port and to the serial port at the Rack PDU.

4. Run a terminal program such as HyperTerminal, and configure the selected port for

9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control, and save the changes.

5. Press

ENTER to display the User Name prompt.

6. Enter your Administrator user name and password (apc by default for both).

7. From the Control Console menu, select System, then Tools, then File Transfer,

then XMODEM; and type Yes at the prompt to continue.

8. Select a baud rate, change the terminal program’s baud rate to match your

selection, and press

ENTER. A higher baud rate causes faster upgrades.

9. From the terminal program’s menu, select the binary AOS file to transfer using

XMODEM-CRC. After the XMODEM transfer is complete, set the baud rate to 9600.

The Rack PDU automatically restarts.

10.Repeat step 4 through step 9 to install the application module. In step 9, substitute

the application module file name for the AOS module file name.
