M9506A AXIe Chassis Firmware
When upgrading, do not install this version unless at least one previous version is already installed. Skipping versions during the update may cause the product to fail to power up after installation. Please review all version descriptions and documentation carefully before proceeding. Mixing driver, firmware, or hardware revisions may result in errors.
An update may take up to 60 minutes to complete depending on the type of components requiring an update. During this time, instrument modules installed in the chassis are deactivated to the ATCA service state to reduce power consumption and are unavailable for applications. The chassis fan speed may change during the update as well. Following the update, cycle chassis power to complete the installation.
