Caution: When installing a module into slot 1 of a non-operating chassis, it is strongly
recommended that the module have the desired version of firmware. Installation of a
replacement module into slot 1 of a non-operating chassis requires reconfiguration of the
system settings.
Precaución: Para instalar un módulo en la ranura 1 del chasis apagado, lo mejor es que
el módulo corresponda a la versión de firmware solicitada. Para instalar un módulo de
reemplazo en la ranura 1 del chasis apagado será necesario reconfigurar el sistema.
