CAUTION:
Install application blades like the HP StorageWorks 4/48 SAN Director Blade
(FC4–48), only after upgrading to Fabric OS 5.2.0a or later.
HP does not support upgrading from more than two previous releases. For examp le,
upgrading from Fabric OS 5.0.x to 5.2.0b is supported, but upgrading from Fabric OS
4.4.0 or a previous release directly to 5.2.0b is not.
Upgrading a switch from Fabric OS 4.4.0 or a previous release to 5.2.0b requires a
two-step process: first upgrade to Fabric OS 5.0.x or 5.1.x and then upgrade to 5.2.0b.
