Firmware files
A firmware version consists of three modules: An Operating System (AOS) module, an
application module, and a boot monitor (bootmon) module. Each module contains one
or more Cyclical Redundancy Checks (CRCs) to protect its data from corruption during
transfer.
The Operating System (AOS), application, and boot monitor module files used with the
Rack PDU share the same basic format:
dell_hardware-version_type_firmware-version.bin
• dell: Indicates that this is a Dell file.
• hardware-version: hw0x identifies the version of the hardware on which you can
use this binary file.
• type: Identifies whether the file is the Operating System (AOS) module, the
application module, or the boot monitor module for the Rack PDU.
• version: The version number of the file.
• bin: Indicates that this is a binary file.
See About the Rack PDU to check the version number of each
firmware module on a Rack PDU.
