Metered Rack PDU

Use FTP or SCP to upgrade one Rack PDU

FTP. For you to use FTP to upgrade one Rack PDU over the network:

• The Rack PDU 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 PDU.

To transfer the files:

1. Open a command prompt window of a computer on the network. 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_hw03_aos_xxx.bin

– apc_hw03_application_xxx.bin

2. Open an FTP client session:

C:\apc>ftp

3. Type open and the Rack PDU’s IP address, 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_hw03_aos_xxx.bin

6. When FTP confirms the transfer, type quit to close the session.

7. After 20 seconds, repeat step 2 through step 5. In step 5, use the application

module file name.
