Update the PDU Metering Unit Firmware (Original PDU)

You can download updates of the PDU metering unit firmware from the Downloads web site.

Caution  -  When updating the firmware, you must update both the metering unit firmware and the HTML interface pages. Failure to update the HTML pages causes certain pages of the interface not to display, which renders the web interface unusable.

   To locate the latest PDU firmware, search the Download Center for the Oracle Rack 1242. Follow the instructions on the web site to download the firmware.

3. Save the downloaded firmware ZIP file to a directory accessible to the PDU over the network.
