critical to make sure that both controllers are restarted and upgraded simultaneously.
e.
Simultaneously press and hold the reset button on both controllers, and insert
a new program card into each controller.

g. Install a program card ESD cover on each controller.
11. After the controllers restart, restore the CACHE_FLUSH_TIMER to the value
recorded in step 6 using the following commands:
HSGB> SET THIS_CONTROLLER CACHE_FLUSH_TIMER=n
HSGB> SET OTHER_CONTROLLER CACHE_FLUSH_TIMER=n
