How to Download Firmware Upgrades

Upgrading the PDU monitor processor

You can download available PDU monitor processor upgrades through the PDU display interface. The most obvious indication that a firmware upgrade is necessary occurs when the Network Management Card and the monitor processor stop communicating. This lack of communication causes the PDU’s data to no longer be accessible through the display interface and a SysData Mismatch alarm to occur. When this aslarm occurs, perform the following steps to upgrade the PDU monitor processor firmware:

1. Upgrade the PDU Network Management Card.

For instructions on how to upgrade the PDU’s Network Management Card, refer to the online Network Management User’s Guide on the Utility CD

See also provided with your InfraStruXure PDU.

2.At the PDU display interface, select Config, and then Firmware Updates. You will receive the following message:

Press any key to download the upgrade.

 

If you do not receive the SysData Mismatch alarm, but want to check for

 

available firmware upgrades, you can do so by performing step 2 in the

Note

procedure above.

 

Downloading firmware upgrades from a local computer

To download a firmware upgrade and transfer it to your PDU, see “File Transfers” in the InfraStruXure PDU’s online Network Management User’s Guide on the Utility CD.
