Before you begin

CAUTION:

When handling system components, there is a danger to

equipment from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use proper

anti-static protection at all times:

• Keep the component in the ESD bag until needed.

• Wear an ESD wrist strap grounded to an unpainted surface

of the chassis.

• Touch an unpainted surface of the chassis before handling the

component.

• Never touch connector pins.

IMPORTANT:

• Upgrading to a dual I/O module conﬁguration requires a

ﬁrmware update.

• Because a ﬁrmware update requires a restart of the MSA,

perform the update during a scheduled maintenance window.

• Depending on your environment, the ﬁrmware update may
