SCP command example:
scp pdu-px2-030000-41270.bin
admin@192.168.87.50:/fwupdate
Tip: The PSCP works in a similar way to the SCP so the PSCP syntax
for firmware update is the same as SCP. That is:
pscp <firmware file> <user name>@<device ip>:/fwupdate
A Note about Firmware Upgrade Time
The PDU firmware upgrade time varies from unit to unit, depending on
various external and internal factors.
External factors include, but are not limited to: network throughput,
firmware file size, and speed at which the firmware is retrieved from the
storage location. Internal factors include: the necessity of upgrading the
firmware on the microcontroller and the number of microcontrollers that
require upgrade (which depends on the number of outlets). The
microcontroller is upgraded only when required. Therefore, the length of
firmware upgrade time ranges from approximately 3 minutes (without any
microcontroller updated) to almost 7 minutes (with all microcontrollers for
48 outlets updated). Take the above factors into account when
estimating the PDU's firmware upgrade time.
The time indicated in this note is for PXE web-interface-based upgrades.
Upgrades through other management systems, such as Raritan's Power
IQ, may take additional time beyond the control of the PDU itself. This
note does not address the upgrades using other management systems.
Viewing Firmware Update History
The firmware upgrade history, if available, is permanently stored on the
PXE device.
This history indicates when a firmware upgrade event occurred, the prior
and new versions associated with the firmware upgrade event, and the
upgrade result.
To view the firmware update history:
1. Choose Maintenance > View Firmware Update History. The
Firmware Update History dialog appears, with the following
information displayed.
Date and time of the firmware upgrade event
Previous firmware version
