SCP. To use Secure CoPy (SCP) to upgrade firmware for a Rack PDU:

1. Identify and locate the firmware modules described in the preceding instructions for

FTP.

2. Use an SCP command line to transfer the AOS firmware module to the Rack PDU.

The following example uses xxx to represent the version number of the AOS

module:

scp apc_hw03_aos_xxx.bin apc@158.205.6.185:apc_hw03_aos_xxx.bin

3. Use a similar SCP command line, with the name of the application module, to

transfer the second firmware module to the Rack PDU.

How to upgrade multiple Rack PDUs

Export configuration settings. You can create batch files and use an APC utility to

retrieve configuration settings from multiple Rack PDUs and export them to other Rack

PDUs.

Use FTP or SCP to upgrade multiple Rack PDUs. To upgrade multiple Rack PDUs

using an FTP client or using SCP, write a script which automatically performs the

procedure.

Use XMODEM to upgrade one Rack PDU

To upgrade the firmware for a Rack PDU that is not on the network:

2. Select a serial port at the local computer and disable any service that uses the port.

3. Connect the provided serial cable (APC part number 940-0144) to the selected port
