Updating the PX3 Firmware
Firmware files are available on Raritan website's
Support page

).
When performing the firmware upgrade, the PX3 keeps each outlet's
power status unchanged so no server operation is interrupted. During
and after the firmware upgrade, outlets that have been powered on prior
to the firmware upgrade remain powered on and outlets that have been
powered off remain powered off.
You must be the administrator or a user with the Firmware Update
permission to update the PX3 firmware.
Before starting the upgrade, read the release notes downloaded from
the Raritan website's
Support page ( ).
If you have any questions or concerns about the upgrade, contact Raritan
Technical Support BEFORE upgrading.
On a multi-inlet PDU (any model with X2 or X3 suffixes), all inlets must
be connected to power for the PDU to successfully upgrade its firmware.
Note that firmware upgrade via some mobile devices, such as iPad,
requires the use of a file manager app.
Warning: Do NOT perform the firmware upgrade over a wireless
network connection.
Important: If you are upgrading an existing USB-cascading chain
