Rack Power Filter: File Transfers96
Using FTP or SCP to upgrade one Rack Power Filter
FTP. To use FTP to upgrade one Rack Power Filter over the network:
• The Rack Power Filter must be connected to the network, and its system IP, subnet mask, and
default gateway must be configured.
• The FTP server must be enabled at the Rack Power Filter.
• The firmware files must be extracted from the firmware upgrade tool (see “To extract the
firmware files:” on page 94).
To transfer the files:
1. At a computer on the network, open a command prompt window. Go to the directory that
contains the firmware files, and list the files:
C:\>cd\apc
C:\apc>dir
For the listed files, xxx represents the firmware version number:
–
apc_hw05_aos_xxx.bin
–
apc_hw05_application_xxx.bin
2. Open an FTP client session:
C:\apc>ftp
3. Type open and the IP address of the Rack Power Filter, and press ENTER. If the port setting for
the FTP Server has changed from its default of 21, you must use the non-default value in the FTP
command.
– For Windows FTP clients, separate a non-default port number from the IP address by a space.
For example:
ftp> open 150.250.6.10 21000
– Some FTP clients require a colon instead before the port number.
4. Log on as Administrator; apc is the default user name and password.
5. Upgrade the AOS. (In the example, xxx is the firmware version number):
ftp> bin
ftp> put apc_hw05_aos_
xxx.bin
6. When FTP confirms the transfer, type quit to close the session.
7. After 20 seconds, repeat step 2 through step 6. In step 5, use the application module file name.
