Preinstallation messages
The messages in this section are displayed if an exception case is encountered during firmware download
from Fabric OS 5.2.0. The example earlier shows feature-related messages that you may see if you were
downgrading from 5.2.0 to 5.1.0:
The following items need to be addressed before downloading the specified
firmware:
Port mirror connections detected. Please use portmirror --delete to remove these
mirror connections.
AD feature is in use. Please clear it using the ad --clear command.
Port configuration with EX ports enabled along with trunking for port(s) 58, use
the portcfgexport, portcfgvexport, and/or portcfgtrunkport commands to disable
the port configuration. Verify that the blade is ENABLED. (error 3)

Message
AP Blade type 24 is inserted. Please use slotshow to find out which slot it is in
and remove it.
Probable cause and recommended action
The firmware download operation was attempting to download Fabric OS 5.0.0 with one or more FR4-18i
port blades (blade ID 24) in the system. FR4-18i port blades are not supported on firmware 5.0.0 or
earlier, so the firmware download operation is aborted.
Use the slotShow command to display which slot the FR4-18i port blade is in, and physically remove the
blade(s) from the chassis. Retry the firmware download operation.
Message
AP Blade type 31 is inserted. Please use slotshow to find out which slot it is in
and remove it.
Probable cause and recommended action
The firmware download operation was attempting to downgrade a system to Fabric OS 5.1.0 or earlier
with one or more FC4-16IP port blades (blade ID 31) in the system. FC4-16IP port blades are not supported
on firmware 5.1.0 or earlier, so the firmware download operation failed.
