Chapter 5: Bulk Configuration Methods 

If you have to set up multiple PDUs, you can use one of the following configuration methods to save time. 

 

Use a bulk configuration file: 

•

 

Requirement: All PDUs to configure are of the same model and firmware. 

•

 

Procedure: First finish configuring one PDU. Then save the bulk configuration file from it and copy this file to all of the 
other PDUs. 

Refer to 

Bulk Configuration

 in the  PDU With RackLink User Manual at 

www.middleatlantic.com/resources/power-downloads.aspx

. 

 

Use a TFTP server: 

•

 

Requirement: DHCP is enabled in your network and a TFTP server is available. 

•

 

Procedure: Prepare special configuration files, which must include 

fwupdate.cfg

, and copy them to the root directory of 

the TFTP server. Re-boot all PDUs after connecting them to the network. 

See 

Bulk Configuration or Firmware Upgrade via DHCP/TFTP

 (on page 134). 

 

Use a USB flash drive: 

•

 

Requirement: A FAT32- or superfloppy-formatted USB flash drive containing special configuration files is required. 

•

 

Procedure: Plug the USB drive into the PDU. When a happy smiley is shown on the front panel display, press and hold 
one of the control buttons on the front panel until the display turns blank. 

•

 

See 

Configuration or Firmware Upgrade with a USB Drive

 (on page 136).

 

 

Bulk Configuration or Firmware Upgrade via DHCP/TFTP 

If a TFTP server is available, you can use it and appropriate configuration files to perform any or all of the following tasks 
for a large number of PDUs in the same network. 

•

 

Initial deployment 

•

 

Configuration changes 

•

 

Firmware upgrade 

•

 

Downloading diagnostic data 

This feature is extremely useful if you have hundreds or even thousands of PDUs to configure or upgrade.
