As enhancements are made to the switch, you may need to update the software, or
microcode, that is contained in the switch. This chapter describes how to upgrade

Caution:
After downloading the new software, you must reset the switch. The
switch is not operational while it is resetting. Before starting this procedure, make
sure the network will not be effected.
