Importing the APC firmware update catalog

[EcoStruxureIT]

You can download a copy of the APC firmware updates catalog (for SNMP devices and NetBotz Appliances) to your client, and then import that catalog to the server when that server does not have internet access to the APC updates server.

Data Center Expert users who have active support contracts for all monitored nodes can download the latest firmware update catalog that includes the IEC-certified NMC3 firmware 3.x from the EcoStruxure IT Entitlements portal. 

The DCE device firmware update catalog available on apc.com (SFSWCDFCF) does not include IEC-certified NMC 3.x firmware.

This procedure assumes your client has internet access to the APC updates server. If not, you will need to download the updates catalog to a machine that does have access, and transfer the file to your client.

Note: Be sure your firewall settings allow you to download the catalog.

1. Download the DCE device firmware update catalog.
2. Once the updates catalog is downloaded, select Apply Firmware Updates in the Updates menu in the client.
3. In the "Select Device Updates" display, click Import.
4. In the "Open" display, browse to the downloaded APC updates catalog, and click Open.
5. Go to step 4 of Performing a firmware update to update devices using the imported APC updates catalog.
