Manual upgrades, primarily for Linux systems. If computers on your network are running Linux,
you must upgrade the firmware of the cooling units manually by using the separate APC firmware
modules (AOS module and application module).
You can obtain the individual firmware modules you need for a manual firmware upgrade by extracting
them from the automated tool.
To extract the firmware files:
1. Run the tool.
2. At the prompts, click Next>, and then specify the directory location to which the files will be
extracted.
3. When the Extraction Complete message displays, close the dialog box.
Firmware file transfer methods
Use one of these methods to upgrade the firmware of the cooling unit:
• 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 the cooling unit 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 cooling unit.
If you have a networked computer running a supported Microsoft Windows operating system
on your network, you can use the tool described in “Automated upgrade tool for Microsoft
Windows systems” on page 66 to upgrade the firmware of the cooling unit automatically over
the network. This tool automates the entire upgrade process.
Note: When you transfer individual firmware modules you must transfer the AOS
module to the cooling unit before you transfer the application module.
