Hi Barry Patterson,
Is there documentation available on each FW release regarding requirements and any known issues.
Tip: if you click on the new firmware version in the Apply Firmware Updates window, you can read a brief but very useful Update Description about the key changes or fixes in this firmware version, for example:
As for me: it allows you to be aware of the changes and do not spend a lot of time looking for official releases of firmware 😀.
Has anyone had issues applying the following FW releases for these PDUs.
Firmware 3.9.2 is already old and is the latest version for APC devices of the first generation (which are usually already EOL). I also have a lot of such devices in operation with this firmware and I did not notice any problems.
Firmware 6.4.4 is the recommended version for APC or Schneider Electric second generation devices. Soon there should be a release of the new version of firmware 6.5.0, which is currently being tested and so far only available for the UPS NMC2. I also have a lot of such devices in operation with this firmware and I did not notice any problems.
With respect.
