2. Check this Firmware Update screen to see that the update file is loaded onto the card. Below the file
path, you might see:
– Status Critical Incompatible with this UPS
Indicates that update file will not work with this UPS because it is designed for a different one.
– Status Critical Unknown format
Indicates that the update file does not appear to be a valid UPS firmware update file. The file
could indeed be invalid, or in a format that the NMC does not yet recognize.
If the update file exists on the card, then the NMC displays the update version. This is listed as
unknown if the NMC does not recognize the format of the update file. Otherwise it lists the version
each UPS component assumes after the update. Greyed out components are not part of this update file.
3. Press the Update UPS button to start the update process.

PowerChute Network Shutdown clients
Path: UPS > Configuration > PowerChute

With outlet groups, you also have to specify which outlet group is supplying power to the PowerChute client.

Path: UPS > Configuration > Sync Control
This option is not available for all UPS devices.
What is a Synchronized Control Group (SCG)? With an SCG you can apply actions simultaneously to
each UPS in the group. If you apply an action to an SCG, enabled members of the group behave as follows:
• Each UPS receives the command regardless of its output status (e.g., even if on a low battery).
• The action uses the delay periods (such as Shutdown Delay and Return Delay) configured for the
initiating UPS. (See “Shutdown on Configuration menu”).
• When the action begins, a UPS that is unable to participate retains its present output status while the
other UPS devices perform the action. So, if a UPS is already in an output state that the action requires
