Obtain the latest firmware version
Automated upgrade tool for Microsoft Windows systems. An upgrade tool
automates the transferring of the firmware modules on any supported Windows
operating system. Obtain the latest version of the tool at no cost from www.apc.com/
tools/download. At this Web page, find the latest firmware release for your APC
product (in this case, your Rack PDU) and download the automated tool. Never use the
tool for one APC product to upgrade firmware of another.
Manual upgrades, primarily for Linux systems. If no computer on your network is
running a Microsoft Windows operating system, you must upgrade the firmware of your
Rack PDUs by using the separate AOS and application firmware modules.
Obtain the individual firmware modules for your firmware upgrade from
www.apcc.com/tools/download.
Firmware File Transfer Methods
To upgrade the firmware of a Rack PDU, use one of these methods:
• From a networked computer running a Microsoft Windows operating system, use the
firmware upgrade tool downloaded from the APC Web site.
• From a networked computer on any supported operating system, use FTP or SCP to
transfer the individual AOS and application firmware modules.
• For a Rack PDU that is not on your network, use XMODEM through a serial
connection to transfer the individual firmware modules from your computer to the
Rack PDU.
Note
When you transfer individual firmware modules, you must transfer the APC
Operating System (AOS) module to the Rack PDU before you transfer the
application module.
