Upgrading AlterPath PM IPDU Software
146 AlterPath OnBoard Administrator’s Guide
Note: Daisy-chaining only works if all daisy-chained IPDUs are running the
same version of the PM software. The OnBoard administrator must ensure
that all connected AlterPath PM IPDUs have the most recent version of the
PM software.
Clicking “Refresh” has effects shown in Figure 5-4, but only if both the
following are true:
•A /tmp/pmfirmware file exists on the OnBoard
• The file contains a more recent version of the PM software than the one
currently installed:
As shown in Figure 5-4, the following appear on the screen if the two
prerequisites in the previous list are true:
• The “Latest software version available” value changes to match the
version in /tmp/pmfirmware.
• An “Upgrade” button appears.

the selected AlterPath PM IPDU is being upgraded, and the remaining text in
