Note: The utility only works with a Management Card that has an IPv4 address.
•From a networked computer on any supported operating system, use FTP or SCP to transfer the individual AOS and application firmware modules.
•For a Network Management Card that is not on your network, use XMODEM through a serial connection to transfer the individual firmware modules from your computer to the Management Card.
Warning: When you transfer individual firmware modules, you must transfer the APC Operating System (AOS) module to the Management Card before you transfer the application module.
