Verify 4/256 SAN Director prerequisites

2. Enter the chassisConfig command, and verify that it is in mode 5. If the chassisConfig
mode is 5, this step is complete. If not, enter the chassisConfig 5 command. Changing the
chassisConfig mode requires a reboot, and is disruptive to switch operation.

OS 5.1.x or higher when installing the B-Series MP Router blade. If not, use the
firmwareDownload command to install the proper Fabric OS level.
