Showing the Firmware Upgrade Progress

When upgrading the PX3, the firmware upgrade progress will be
displayed as a percentage on the LCD display, similar to the following
diagram.

In the end, a message appears, indicating whether the firmware upgrade
succeeds or fails.

Reset Button

The reset button is located inside the small hole near the display panel
on the PDU.

The PX3 device can be reset to its factory default values using this button
when a serial connection is available. See

Resetting to Factory Defaults

(on page 701, on page 627).

Without the serial connection, pressing this reset button restarts the PX3
device's software without any loss of power to outlets.

The following images illustrate the locations of the reset button on Zero
U models. Port locations may differ on your models.
