73UPS Network Management Card 2 User’s Guide
For information about the format used for firmware modules, see “Firmware module files (Network
Management Card 2)”.
Use a USB drive to transfer and upgrade the files (AP9631 only)
Before starting the transfer, make sure the USB drive is formatted in FAT32.
1. Download the firmware upgrade files and unzip them.
2. Create a folder named apcfirm on the USB flash drive.
3. Place the extracted module files in the apcfirm directory.
4. Use a text editor to create a file named upload.rcf. (The file extension must be .rcf, not .txt for
example.)
5. In upload.rcf, add a line for each firmware module that you want to upgrade. For example, to upgrade
to bootmon version 1.0.2, AOS v5.1.5 and Smart-UPS application version v5.1.4, type:
BM=apc_hw05_bootmon_102.bin
AOS=apc_hw05_aos_515.bin
APP=apc_hw05_sumx_514.bin
6. Place upload.rcf in the apcfirm folder on the flash drive.
7. Insert the flash drive into a USB port on your NMC, see “Front Panel (AP9631)”.
8. Reset the NMC and wait for the card to reboot fully.
9. Check that the upgrade was completed successfully using the procedures in “Verifying Upgrades”.
Upgrading the firmware on multiple Network Management Cards
Use one of these three methods:
NMC2 Firmware Upgrade Utility on Windows. See “Using the Firmware Upgrade Utility for
multiple upgrades on Windows”.
Use FTP or SCP. To upgrade multiple
NMCs using an FTP client or using SCP, write a script which
automatically performs the procedure.
Export configuration settings. You can create batch files and use a utility to retrieve configuration
settings from multiple
NMCs and export them to other NMCs.
See Release Notes: ini File Utility, available on the Network Management Card Utility CD
and in the KBase, http://www.apc.com/site/support/index.cfm/faq/index.cfm.
Using the Firmware Upgrade Utility for multiple upgrades on Windows. After downloading the
Upgrade Utility from the NMC downloads page on the www.apc.com website, double click on the exe file to
run the utility (which ONLY works with IPv4) and follow these steps to upgrade your
NMC firmware:
1. In the utility dialog, type in an IP address, a user name, and a password, and choose the Ping button if
you need to verify the IP address.
2. Choose the Device List button to open the
iplist.txt file. Here you should type all UPS devices to
upgrade with the necessary information: IP, user name, and password.
For example,
SystemIP=192.168.0.1
SystemUserName=apc
SystemPassword=apc
