Recover From a Lost Password

To access the control console, you can use a local computer (a computer that connects to the Network Management Card or other device through the serial port).

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

2.Use the configuration cable to connect the selected port to the serial port (J2) on the controller board. The controller board is in the right compartment of the electrical panel.

Electrical Hazard: Potentially dangerous and lethal voltages exist within the electrical cabinet. Do not touch components on the electrical panel other than the serial port.

3.Run a terminal program (such as HyperTerminal®) and configure the selected port as follows:

2400 bps

8 data bits

no parity

1 stop bit

no flow control

4.Press ENTER, repeatedly if necessary, to display the User Name prompt. If you are unable to display the User Name prompt, verify the following:

The serial port is not in use by another application.

The terminal settings are correct as specified in step 3.

The correct cable is being used as specified in step 2.

5.Press the Reset button on the faceplate of the Network Management Card. The Status LED will flash alternately orange and green. Press the Reset button a second time immediately while the LED is flashing to reset the user name and password to their defaults temporarily.

6.Press ENTER as many times as necessary to re-display the User Name prompt, then use the default, apc, for the user name and password. (If you take longer than 30 seconds to log on after the User Name prompt is re-displayed, you must repeat step 5 and log on again.)

7.From the Control Console menu, select System, then User Manager.

8.Select Administrator, and change the User Name and Password settings, both of which are now defined as apc.

9.Press CTRL+C, log off, reconnect any serial cable you disconnected, restart any service you disabled, close all panels, and re-install doors.

Electrical Hazard: Potentially dangerous and lethal voltages exist within the electrical cabinet. Do not touch components on the electrical panel, other than the serial port.

DX, FM specifications

The American Power Conversion (APC) DX,FM series represents a cutting-edge solution designed for critical power management and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) applications. Aimed at businesses and data centers that require robust power protection, this series balances high-performance capabilities with advanced technology features.

One of the key distinguishing features of the DX,FM series is its modular design. This allows users to scale their UPS system according to their needs, making it suitable for a variety of environments. Whether you're managing a small server room or a large data center, the modular architecture ensures that you can add or remove capacity with ease. This flexibility not only optimizes initial investments but also supports future growth seamlessly.

The series employs advanced battery technology, which extends battery life and enhances overall performance. With intelligent battery management systems, the DX,FM ensures that battery health is monitored in real-time, preventing premature failures and unnecessary replacements. This leads to reduced maintenance costs and maximizes uptime.

Additionally, the DX,FM series features innovative cooling solutions that enhance performance in high-density situations. Efficient thermal management reduces the risk of overheating, keeping valuable equipment operating optimally. This is particularly crucial in data centers where heat generated by servers can create potential disruptions.

Another significant characteristic of the DX,FM series is its sophisticated monitoring and management capabilities. Integrated with state-of-the-art software, users can gain remote access to their UPS units, enabling real-time tracking of performance metrics. This remote monitoring capability allows administrators to proactively manage power usage and ensure that systems are operating within safe parameters.

Furthermore, the DX,FM series is designed with a high level of redundancy. This built-in reliability feature ensures that if one unit fails, others can seamlessly take over, maintaining power supply continuity. This is critical for mission-critical environments where power outages could result in substantial financial losses or data loss.

In summary, the American Power Conversion DX,FM series incorporates modularity, advanced battery technology, effective cooling solutions, and sophisticated monitoring features to deliver an ideal power management solution for various organizations. Its design prioritizes flexibility, reliability, and efficiency, making it an essential investment for any business looking to safeguard its operations against power disruptions.
