8 Switched Rack PDU Installation and Quick-Start Manual
BOOTP. You can use an RFC951-compliant BOOTP server to configure
the TCP/IP settings for the Switched Rack PDU. If the BOOTP server is
properly configured, the Switched Rack PDU’s default setting
(DHCP & BOOTP) for BOOT Mode causes it to discover the BOOTP
server.
1. Enter the Switched 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 Switched Rack PDU reboots, the BOOTP server
provides it with the TCP/IP settings.
– If you specified a bootup file name, the Switched Rack PDU
attempts to transfer that file from the BOOTP server using TFTP
or FTP. The Switched Rack PDU assumes all settings specified
in the bootup file.
– If you did not specify a bootup file name, the Switched 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 10 for
configuration instruction.
If a BOOTP server is unavailable, see “APC Management
Card Wizard” on page 7, “Local access to the control
console” on page 10, or “Remote access to the control
console” on page 10 to configure TCP/IP settings.
Note
For the MAC address, look on the bottom of the PDU or
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.
