How to Upgrade Firmware

Benefits of upgrading firmware

When you upgrade the firmware on the Network Management Card:

•You obtain the latest bug fixes and performance improvements.

•New features become available for immediate use.

Keeping the firmware versions consistent across your network ensures that all Management Cards support the same features in the same manner.

Firmware files (Network Management Card)

A firmware version consists of three modules: An APC Operating System (AOS) module, an application module, and a boot monitor (bootmon) module. Each module contains one or more Cyclical Redundancy Checks (CRCs) to protect its data from corruption during transfer.

The APC Operating System (AOS), application, and boot monitor module files used with the Management Card share the same basic format:

apc_hardware-version_type_firmware-version.bin

•apc: Indicates that this is an American Power Conversion file.

•hardware-version: hw0x identifies the version of the hardware on which you can use this binary file.

•type: Identifies whether the file is for the APC Operating System (AOS) module, the application module, or the boot monitor module for the Management Card.

•firmware-version:Identifies the version number of the file.

•bin: Indicates that this is a binary file.

Obtain the latest firmware version

Note: In a manual upgrade, you can skip the bootmon installation if there are no updates. With the NMC2 Firmware Upgrade Utility, any bootmon update is automatic.

NMC2 Firmware Upgrade Utility for Microsoft Windows systems. The NMC2 Firmware Upgrade Utility automates the transferring of the firmware modules on any supported Windows operating system. Obtain the latest version of the utility at no cost from www.apcc.com/tools/download. At this Web page, find the latest firmware release for your American Power Conversion product and, included in it, the automated utility. Never use a utility designated for one American Power Conversion product to upgrade the firmware of another American Power Conversion product.

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 Management Cards by using the separate AOS and application firmware modules.

Obtain the individual firmware modules for your firmware upgrade by downloading the automated tool from www.apcc.com/tools/download, then extracting the firmware files from the tool.
