APC AP89XX Manuel D’Utilisation

To use Secure CoPy (SCP) to upgrade firmware for the 

Rack PDU, 

follow these steps (this procedure 

assumes bootmon does not need upgrading, it is always necessary to upgrade the other two though):

1. Locate the firmware modules, see “Using the Utility for manual upgrades, primarily on Linux.” .

2. Use an SCP command line to transfer the AOS firmware module to the 

Rack PDU

. The following 

example uses nnn to represent the version number of the AOS module:

scp apc_hw05_aos_

.bin apc@158.205.6.185:apc_hw05_aos_

.bin

3. Use a similar SCP command line, with the name of the application module, to transfer the application 

firmware module to the 

Rack PDU

. (Always upgrade the AOS before the application module).

To use XMODEM to upgrade one 

Rack PDU

 that is not on the network, you must extract the firmware files 

To transfer the files (this procedure assumes bootmon does not need upgrading, it is always necessary to 
upgrade the other two though):

1. Select a serial port at the local computer and disable any service that uses the port.

2. Connect the provided serial configuration cable (part number 940-0144) to the selected port and to the 

RJ-12 style serial port at the 

Rack PDU

.

3. Run a terminal program such as HyperTerminal, and configure the selected port for 57600 bps, 8 data 

bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.

4. Press the 

 button on the 

Rack PDU

, then immediately press the 

 key twice, or until the Boot 

Monitor prompt displays: 

BM>

5. Type 

XMODEM

, then press 

E

NTER

.

6. From the terminal program’s menu,

 

select XMODEM, then select the binary AOS firmware file to 

transfer using XMODEM. After the XMODEM transfer is complete, the Boot Monitor prompt returns.

(Always upgrade the AOS before the application module).

7. To install the application module, repeat step 5 and step 6. In step 6, use the application module file 

name.

8. Type 

reset

 or press the 

 button to restart the 

Rack PDU

.
