Figure 3.2: Sending Firmware using Minicom
If you use a different terminal emulator, please refer to the documentation provided by the
manufacturer on how to transfer files using the xmodem protocol.
If the file transfer is successful, the Cyclades PM IPDU console displays the login prompt. At this
point, the upgrade process of the unit is complete; you may log into the Cyclades PM IPDU and
perform actions as usual.
If the file transfer fails, an error message appears on the PM IPDU console, and the boot loader
menu is displayed again so you may redo the firmware upgrade process.
The screen would be similar to the one shown below:
Erasing firmware...done.
Downloading image. Please send file in 10
seconds. error.
