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 on your CD or 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).
