Switched Rack PDU

Firmware file transfer methods
To upgrade the firmware of a Switched Rack PDU:
• From a networked computer running a Microsoft Windows operating system, you can
use the automated firmware upgrade tool downloaded from the APC Web site.
• From a networked computer on any supported operating system, you can use FTP or
SCP to transfer the individual AOS and application firmware modules.
• For a Switched Rack PDU that is not on your network, you can use XMODEM
through a serial connection to transfer the individual AOS and application firmware
modules from your computer to the Switched Rack PDU.
When you transfer individual firmware modules and do not use the
automated firmware upgrade tool to upgrade the firmware for a
Rack PDU, you must transfer the APC Operating System (AOS)
module to the Rack PDU before you transfer the application
module.
For more information about the firmware modules, see Firmware
files (Switched Rack PDU).
