came with your Rack PDU.
You cannot upgrade the AOS firmware module of any APC device
directly from firmware version 1.x.x to 2.1.0 or later. The upgrade
attempt will fail.
To upgrade the AOS firmware module of an APC device from
version 1.x.x to 2.1.0 or later, first upgrade the module to the latest
available version 2.0.x AOS firmware module. Then upgrade it
again, this time from version 2.0.x to the 2.x.x version you want.
If your APC device is running a 2.0.x of the AOS firmware module
already, you can upgrade directly to version 2.1.0 or a later
version.
