Quick Configuration
Switched Rack PDU Installation and Quick Start 9
BOOTP. You can use an RFC951-compliant BOOTP server to configure
the TCP/IP settings for the Rack PDU. If the BOOTP server is properly
configured, the Rack PDU’s default setting (DHCP & BOOTP) for
BOOT Mode causes it to discover the BOOTP server.
1. Enter the Rack PDU’s MAC and IP addresses, the subnet mask and
default gateway settings, and an optional bootup file name in the
BOOTPTAB file of the BOOTP server.
2. When the Rack PDU reboots, the BOOTP server provides it with
the TCP/IP settings.
– If you specified a bootup file name, the Rack PDU attempts to
transfer that file from the BOOTP server using TFTP or FTP.
The Rack PDU assumes all settings specified in the bootup file.
– If you did not specify a bootup file name, the Rack PDU can be
configured remotely by using Telnet or by using the Web
interface: user name and password are both apc, by default. See
“Remote access to the control console” on page 11 for
configuration instructions.
If a BOOTP server is unavailable, see “APC Management
Card Wizard” on page 8, “Local access to the control
console” on page 11, or “Remote access to the control
console” on page 11 to configure TCP/IP settings.
Note
The MAC address is on the bottom of the Rack PDU and
on the Quality Assurance slip included in the package.

You must use the APC Management Card Wizard to
create the bootup file. To create a bootup file, see the
BOOTP section in the Addendum.
