Firmware file transfer methods
To upgrade the firmware of a Switched Rack PDU:
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 a Switched Rack PDU 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 Switched
Rack PDU.
When you transfer individual firmware modules and do not
use the automated firmware upgrade tool to upgrade the
firmware for a Rack PDU, you must transfer the APC
Operating System (AOS) module to the Rack PDU before you
transfer the application module.
For more information about the firmware modules, see
Firmware files (Switched Rack PDU).
