Maintenance and Troubleshooting 6. When the firmware upgrade ends, review the status display to confirm that the update completed successfully (see Figure 86). You exit the Firmware Upgrade mode when the Network Management Card restarts automatically and returns Network Management Card operation to the state represented by the DIP switches. Figure 86. End Upgrade Status Display Eaton Advanced ePDU User’s Guide P-164000042—Rev 2 www.eaton.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting Restart the Network Management Card If you initiated the Network Management Card firmware upgrade using either the Web interface or the Serial interface, the Network Management Card restarts automatically to the existing state according to the configuration of the DIP switches. If you forced the Network Management Card Firmware Upgrade mode by the hardware setting of the DIP switches, a two-step procedure is required to restart the Network Management Card.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting Self-correcting conditions: Sometimes, the alarm automatically clears when the condition resolves. For example, if a load over current alarm is generated, the alarm is cleared when the current drops 0.25A below the level (alarm hysteresis). NOTE The screensaver turns off when an alarm is generated. Types of Alarms The ePDU is designed for durable, automatic operation. If a potential operating problem occurs, the ePDU issues an alarm to alert you.
