30. Type the following command to quit the FTP session:
>quit
31. Go to the “Restarting the eNMC Module and Resetting the ePDU”procedure that follows.
32. Make sure the eNMC module is powered ON. Connect the USB flash drive to the ePDU with the new
eNMC.
33. When the LCD interface pop-up confirms that the USB flash drive is detected, click OK, then press Enter
to return to the Main Menu. (If not confirmed within 10 seconds, the pop-up goes away by itself.)
34. From the LCD Settings menu, select USB Flash Mode. Press Enter, select yes to confirm, and then press
Enter again. The module restarts. (If there is no action within one minute, the eNMC module exits USB
Flash Mode. Remove and reinsert the USB flash drive to access this menu again.)
35. Select Load eNMC file, then click OK to upload the ePDU hardware configuration file to the eNMC.
36. When the file is successfully loaded, click OK to confirm.
37. Remove the USB flash drive and select Exit.
38. Go to the “Restarting the eNMC Module and Resetting the ePDU”procedure that follows.
Restarting the eNMC Module and Resetting the ePDU
1.
Restart the eNMC module using either the reset button on the LCD front panel (see “Restarting the ePDU
Network Management and Control (eNMC) module” on page 40), or using a serial or network connection
to a terminal emulator or Web interface.
2.
Reset the ePDU to factory default settings using one of the following:
l
Web interface “Configure ePDU Network Management and Control Module” on page 102
(
System > Network Management Card Configuration panel > Restore Factory default settings >
Yes
)
l
LCD menu “Factory Submenu” on page 66
(
Settings > Factory > Return to Factory Settings > Yes > OK
)
After the ePDU hardware configuration file is uploaded and eNMC module is rebooted and reset to factory
defaults, the ePDU settings return to default settings and the energy counter restarts from 0. Only the serial
number is recovered.
Firmware Upgrade
The firmware upgrade process allows you to maintain the most current firmware by updating the ePDU
Network Management and Control (eNMC) module with new or enhanced features and applying periodic bug
fixes.
The upgrade file is named
Image<
xxx>
.bin
. (The <
xxx
> values will vary for each upgrade.) During the upgrade,
the firmware and the Web page are both upgraded to avoid incompatibility between the firmware version and
the Web site. Additional validation checks are performed as well.
The new firmware files can be uploaded using either Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), File Transfer Protocol
(FTP), or USB. With all methods, the basic steps are the same:
NOTE
Step 1 and Step 2 must be performed or the new configuration will not be properly
accepted by the eNMC module. If something doesn't look right afterward, perform
Step 2 (reset to defaults) a second time.
