Apc Switched Rack Pdu Factory Reset

I like to wipe the configuration from equipment prior to disposal.

Apc switched rack pdu factory reset.

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

Fortunately i still had the serial cable required to get into the console. If not let me know. I also had my serial cable for my laptop. Press reset button with paper clip only 2 sec is necessary.

The pdu defaults to dhcp bootp so 192 168 1 202 is from the previous user. 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. Resetting the network interface using the small reset button near the network jack has no effect on the electrical output of the rack pdu or rack ats. The process that worked for me 3 times straight.

Immediately press reset again only 1 2 seconds needed. 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 you forget the password to your apc rack pdu generation 2 starts with part number ap8xxx.
