Hi Dudley,

For this type of issue, I suggest you contact your local support office ideally. I suspect you may have a hardware issue on the UPS that the local team can check with you in detail.

I don't think it will solve the issue ( it could improve the logging/information detail you are seeing)... but there are firmware updates available for your UPS and the on board management interface.

For the network management card, AOS/sumx 6.4.6 is available (you have 6.0.7) and for the UPS, you have 01.4 and 04.4 is available. You may want to contact support first as I am not sure if this is worthwhile to do, especially for the UPS, because I think it requires a power down. Upgrading the management card inside the UPS does not.

Here are some instructions/knowledge base articles to check if you want to proceed or just at least review:

http://www.apc.com/us/en/faqs/FA281753 - upgrading your SRT using the onboard network management card interface
