Firmware Upgrade
By upgrading the Firmware, you can obtain new features and updates/improvements to existing
functionality. To ensure the firmware is kept up to date, please regularly visit our website to see if there
is any updated firmware version available. There are three methods for upgrading the PDU firmware.
Please follow the instructions below for the method that is appropriate for your application.
There are
two files to update in order to upgrade the firmware version:
* cpsmpdumafw_XXX.bin
* cpsmpdumadata_XXX.bin
Note that the XXX is not part of the file name but is where the version number in the filename is given.
Prior to performing a firmware update, please:
Download the latest firmware from
Extract the downloaded firmware file to your local “C:\” drive
Note
:
1. The FTP service needs to be enabled before attempting to execute a firmware upgrade. Please
refer to 5.7 FTP Service to make sure that FTP is enabled.
2. Please do not turn the PDU off when processing the Firmware upgrade. PDU outlets will remain
powered on while the firmware update takes place. Only the PDU LCD screen will reboot.
3. The PDU LCD screen will reboot during the firmware update process. This DOES NOT cause the
PDU outlets to reboot.
