NMC Version with same model?

[CHOCHO]

Hi,

I'm using @AP7921B - rack pdu with switch.

It seems that I have 2 versions of network management card os: v1.5.1.2(NMC1) and v6.4.6(NMC2)

and upgrade from NMC1 to NMC2 is impossible. (it's hardware is different)

from my experience v6.4.6 is more stable whereas when using v1.5.1.2 connection is closed frequently.

1. How can I know what version of NMC it contains?

I have multiple product with same model name but NMC version is different.
probably if higher NMC is contained more stable the product would be, so I want to buy higher version.

2. Can I change it's NMC for already purchased product?

for example is it possible to change only NMC from my pdu?

1. This information can be obtained from the NMC About tab. Via SSH or from your NMS application.

2. There specific models of APC RPDU that the NMC can be replaced. I don’t believe this specific model can be. You can reach out to APC Technical Support to confirm the same and report back the final answer.

Hi, thanks for the answer.

-> you mean I can check it after buying them?

If you purchase a new unit it will have a NMC 3. Unless you’re really unlucky and happen to buy a NOS (New Old Stock) than it would be NMC 2.

NMC 1 should be long gone from any major reseller!
