Obtain the latest firmware version

To determine if updated firmware is available to download, go to the “Software Downloads” page, www.apc.com/tools/download, on the APC Web site.

The firmware upgrade consists of the two modules: An APC Operating System (AOS) module and an application module.

See Firmware files (Battery Management System).

U

To upgrade the firmware module of an APC device on a Microsoft platform, use the firmware upgrade tool, a self-extracting executable file available on the APC Battery Management System Utility CD or available at no cost from the support section of the APC Web site (www.apc.com/support).

Each upgrade tool is specific to an APC product type. Do not use the tool from one product CD to upgrade firmware of a different APC product. If you use a version of the tool from the APC Web site, make sure that you use the upgrade tool that corresponds with your APC product type.
