Apc Switched Rack Pdu Factory Reset

The process that worked for me 3 times straight.

Apc switched rack pdu factory reset.

I have three apc pdu ap7900 and i m about to dispose of one of them. Apc switched rack power distribution units pdus enable advanced user customizable power control and active monitoring. Then you can recover it by connecting to the pdu via the ser. I also had my serial cable for my laptop.

Fortunately i still had the serial cable required to get into the console. This procedure simply reboots the embedded network management card which will render the network port inaccessible for a short period of time while it reboots. I could not recall the login details for any of my three pdus. I just had to reset an apc pdu and go thru this hassle.

You are not able to reset the unit to the factory settings on this model without gaining access via the serial console cable which is outlined in those instructions above. If not let me know. Can you get the cable. If you forget the password to your apc rack pdu generation 2 starts with part number ap8xxx.

Press reset button with paper clip only 2 sec is necessary. Rack pdu switched 1u 20a 120v 8 5 20 switched rack power distribution units rack pdu provide advanced load management plus on off control at the outlet level for power cycling delayed power sequencing and outlet use management. Immediately press reset again only 1 2 seconds needed. The pdu defaults to dhcp bootp so 192 168 1 202 is from the previous user.

Remote outlet level controls allow power on off functionality for power recycling to remotely reboot equipment and restrict unauthorized use of individual outlets.
