device's Selection Menu.
Note: Manual Path Selection is automatically disabled and replaced by
Automatic Path Selection when one of the following scenarios occurs:
(1) The desired server is accessed while the Selection Menu is sorted by
channel name instead of the channel number.
(2) The path passes through Paragon II products with the firmware
version older than 3E3. You must upgrade their firmware to support this
function. See Firmware Upgrade (on page 167) for more information.

hardware version is older than HW3, it is impossible to support the

HW3 unit has only one stacking port), you can upgrade its firmware to
support this function. See Firmware Upgrade (on page 167) for more
