Upgrading The Power Manager's Firmware - Black Box PS568A User Manual

7. Upgrading the Power Manager's
When new, improved versions of the power manager's firmware become available,
the upgrade firmware function can be used to update the power manager. Updates
can be installed via the network port or the COM/RS-232 port.
The upgrade procedure can only be performed via the text interface.
All other network ports will be disabled during the firmware upgrade
procedure.
When the upgrade procedure is complete, all parameters will be set to
their default states. Therefore, we recommend that you save the power
manager's configuration parameters to an ASCII file (as described in
Chapter 6) before beginning this upgrade procedure.
1. Download the update file onto your local or remote PC. Firmware
modifications can be downloaded from the Black Box Web site
(www.blackbox.com).
2. Access the power manager's command mode via the text interface. When the
password prompt is displayed, type in the system level password.
3. When the command prompt appears, type /U and press Enter. The power
manager will display a screen that offers the following options:
1. Upgrade Sector 0
2. Upgrade Sectors 1–4
3. Upgrade Sectors 5–7
4. Abort Upgrade
Instructions regarding the proper sector option will be supplied when
upgrades become available.
Select the sector option indicated for the upgrade and press Enter, or type 4
and press Enter to abort the upgrade procedure.
