File Transfers
Introduction
Overview
The Switched Rack PDU automatically recognizes binary firmware files.
Each of these files contains a header and one or more Cyclical
Redundancy Checks (CRCs) to ensure that the data contained in the file is
not corrupted before or during the transfer operation.
When new firmware is transmitted to the Rack PDU, the program code is
updated and new features become available.
This chapter describes how to transfer firmware files to Switched Rack
PDUs.
To transfer a firmware file to a Rack PDU, see Upgrading
Firmware: Methods and Tools.
To verify a file transfer, see Verifying Upgrades and Updates.
