Hello everyone,

Applicable to AP9630, AP9631, or AP9635 UPS Network Management Card 2 users - or any users with a UPS/other device that contains an embedded version of these cards, such as Smart-UPS Online that begin with SRT in their SKU.

APC Operating System (AOS) v6.5.0 is now available for the following firmware applications:

• Smart-UPS (single and three phase, incluing SUVT/Galaxy 3500) - 'sumx' application
• Symmetra single phase (Symmetra LX, Symmetra RM, Symmetra Power Array) - 'sy' application
• Galaxy 300 - 'g300'
• Symmetra 3 phase, specifically Symmetra PX 20/40/48/80/96/100/160 kVA (two applications: 'sy3p' for AP9630/31/35 and 'px2' for 0G-9354A embedded NMC/brain)
  • Modbus TCP/serial now available with these app releases*. AP9622 Modbus/BMS card no longer needed.

*Modbus serial requires AP9635. Modbus TCP supported in all configurations.

Other v6.5.0 (or higher) applications coming soon: Rack PDU 2G/AP7XXXB models ('rpdu2g'), NetBotz 250 ('nb250'), Galaxy VM ('gvmsa' - only available via technical support/Field Service).

Additional general AOS v6.5.0 release enhancements include:
