PDU Power Distribution Unit
Thinklogical’s™ Power Distribution Unit 4/4 contains up-gradable firmware that controls its operation. Firmware updates are sent to the unit by an application (KM_Download.exe) that can read which product is attached and selects the appropriate file to send.
The PDU’s operation is determined by an onboard processor which is accessible through the FIRMWARE UPGRADE Port located on the unit’s back panel. Typically, it is advisable to upgrade all connected PDUs whenever performing an upgrade.
Firmware Update Preparation: 1 Retrieve the Firmware files/revision numbers and the KM_Download application/instructions and place them in an accessible directory in your CPU. 2 Install the KmDownload application by running setup.exe. 3 Unzip the Firmware.zip file and place the contents in an accessible directory in your CPU. 4 Have a copy of the instructions and latest versions available for comparison after the update is complete.♦
Firmware files and revision numbers are stored in the following: http://ftp.thinklogical.com/ftp/visualization/updates/ Then select Firmware.zip
The KM_Download.exe application and instructions are stored in: http://ftp.thinklogical.com/ftp/visualization/updates/ Then select KmDownloadVxxx.zip (where ‘Vxxx’ is the version number).
After installing the KM_Download tool stored in the KmDownloadVxxx.zip file, perform steps 1-7 below to program the PDU 4/4.

STEP 2: Using a USB A-B cable, connect the ‘A’ end to your Windowsbased PC and the ‘B’ end to the PDU’s FIRMWARE UPGRADE port. NOTE: You may see the operating system initialize the USB port by receiving a “Logical Solutions…” or a “New hardware found” message.

STEP 1: To program the PDU 4/4 plug each of the two AC Power cords into a standard AC source.
♦ One way to verify that a port has been updated or to read the current version is to reset power, then reconnect the USB cable to the FIRMWARE UPGRADE port and select “Identify Product.” Another way is to go to the *SYSTEM MENU and ‘arrow right’ until CTRL REV is shown.
STEP 3: Open the KM_Download application. Select “Identify Product.” You will see the name of the connected device and be instructed which file to use. NOTE: If you see “Logical Device not found,” wait 5 seconds for the device to initialize and try “Identify Product” again.

Firmware Upgrade Procedure
STEP 4: Select “Open File.” Navigate to the proper directory for the product being updated and click on ‘open’ to initiate the file transfer. A progress bar indicates the file is being sent. DO NOT remove the USB cable or power down the unit until the upgrade is complete. STEP 5: When the firmware download is complete, remove the USB cable from the unit and reset the power to complete the update. ♦ NOTE: It is good practice to verify that the port has been properly updated.
