USER’S GUIDE

Switched Rack PDU

Recover From a Lost Password

You can use a local computer, a computer that connects to the Rack PDU or other

device through the serial port, to access the control console.

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

port.

2. Connect the serial cable (APC part number 940-0144A) to the selected port on the

computer and to the configuration port at the Rack PDU.

3. Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal

) and configure the selected port

for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.

4. Press

ENTER, repeatedly if necessary, to display the User Name prompt. If you are

unable to display the User Name prompt, verify the following:

– The serial port is not in use by another application.

– The terminal settings are correct as specified in step 3.

– The correct cable is being used as specified in step 2.

5. Press the Reset button. The Status LED will flash alternately orange and green.

Press the Reset button a second time immediately while the LED is flashing to reset

the user name and password to their defaults temporarily.

6. Press

ENTER as many times as necessary to redisplay the User Name prompt, then

use the default, apc, for the user name and password. (If you take longer than 30

seconds to log on after the User Name prompt is redisplayed, you must repeat step

5 and log on again.)

To set User Name and Password values for Administrator, Device

User, and Read-Only Users accounts, see Setting user access

(Administration>Security>Local Users>options).

You must use the Web interface to configure values for the

Read-Only User and Outlet User.
