3.7.2 Devices
You can access the Devices window in the System tab navigation tree to view a read-only window about the rack PDU and
the RPC2 communications module. Available information includes the System Name (user specified), system location,
system description, contact personnel names, rack PDU manufacturer, the RPC2 serial number and firmware label and the
rack PDU model, serial number and firmware version. You can also print the summary table via the
icon at the top of
the window.
3.7.3 Device change
Access the
Device Change
link in the System tab navigation tree to view device changes, such as a rack PDU array being
added or removed, a rack PDU being added to an array, sensors being added or removed or a module added to a Liebert
MPX. This window displays the module serial number and type and shows when modules are added and removed. You can
use the
Acknowledge
icon to acknowledge changes and remove them from the window.
NOTE: A notepad icon appears in the upper left corner when a device change is not acknowledged by the user. This
occurs at initial startup, when the RPC2 communications module is installed for the first time, when a sensor is added
or removed, when an MPXBRM is added or removed and after a reset to factory defaults is executed. After an event or
change is acknowledged, the event may take a few seconds to clear and the icon changes to Normal. If an alarm
condition is present, the Alarm icon appears.
3.7.4 Firmware update
Firmware updates can be downloaded from the Downloads section of the Vertiv™ web site
(www.VertivCo.com/MPH2Downloads).
Once downloaded, the firmware update file is transferred to the RPC2 module's memory. The RPC2 module manages the
firmware update process for any connected devices and then for itself.
The RPC2 communications module permits unattended firmware updates. The browser being used can be closed after the
progress bar is displayed.
To update the module's firmware:
1.
Click the
System
tab, then click
Support - Firmware Update
from the side navigation tree.
2.
Select whether to update from the web (http), FTP or TFTP.
3.
Click the
Browse
button to find and open the downloaded .epm file on the host PC or network. The selected file
name is displayed in a text box.
4. Click the Start Firmware Update icon to begin updating.
-or-
Click the Cancel icon to clear the filename and begin again.
5.
The firmware update progress is shown in the status. Once the process is finished, the system automatically
restarts and resumes displaying rack PDU information.
NOTE: The firmware update may take up to 15 minutes. If the update fails, try updating again. The previous working
firmware is recoverable as the RPC2 module maintains the firmware image in its memory.
3.7.5 Settings
With permissions, you can access the
Settings
link in the System tab’s navigation tree to configure the settings for the RPC2
communications module. Use the icons at the top of the window to save or cancel the changes. The Settings window also
permits resetting the RPC2 communications module to factory defaults, rebooting the system and opening a command line
interface session.
To manage RPC2 communications module settings:
1.
From the
System
tab, click
Settings
in the side navigation tree.
2.
Enter a system name and description for the RPC2 communications module.
3.
Enter a contact name and location.
