How to Download Firmware Updates
The InfraStruXure ATS with Power Distribution requires multiple files to be downloaded to update
the firmware. Be sure to select all relevant files from the APC website for download, and repeat this
procedure for each of the firmware files.
From a local computer
1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any service that uses that port.
2. Use the configuration cable to connect the selected port to the console port on the ATS
monitoring unit.
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. Save the changes.
4. Press
ENTER twice to display the User Name prompt.
5. Enter your User Name and Password (apc is the default administrator user name and
password) and press the
ENTER key.
6. From the Control Console menu, select System, then Tools, then File Transfer, then
XMODEM.
7. The system will prompt you with
Perform transfer with XMODEM -CRC? Type Yes and
press
ENTER.
8. The system will then prompt you to choose a transfer rate and to change your terminal settings
to match the transfer rate. Press
ENTER to set the ATS to accept the download.
9. In the terminal program, send the file using the XMODEM protocol. Upon completion of the
transfer, the console will prompt you to restore the baud rate to normal.
The ATS network management interface will reboot when the download is complete.
