- As always, customers should ensure the updated software meets their requirements in a test environment prior to deploying in a production environment.
- Power should not be removed during the firmware update process or the device may need to be returned to the factory.
- If you are upgrading from a release prior to 4.5.264, you must review the release notes for 4.5.264_Patch 2. There are several important considerations when upgrading from pre-4.5.264 releases to 4.5 patch 2 or 4.5 patch 3. This especially impacts the NIM2 firmware when upgrading from older releases.
- IMPORTANT NOTE: Because this patch changes the NIM-2 operating system there are additional actions that must be performed when compared to a standard firmware update. As such, the process to update the first firmware upgrade from a version prior to 4.5.264(Patch 2) or 4.5.265(Patch 3) on the NIM2 can take up to 10 minutes. The status LED can be steady or flashing green, amber and/or RED during that time. The board must not be removed from the node or power cycled during that time. Failure to follow this guideline will likely result in a nonfunctional board. This additional time for the firmware update is only needed for NIM-2 modules.
