**IMPORTANT** As a consequence of the firmware upgrade that is
about to take place, it is very possible that the customized values
in the configuration variables will revert to their *default
values* upon the next system power-cycle or soft-reset. If this
happens, it could have a significant effect on the behavior of the
system after the power-cycle or soft-reset.
Following is a list of the system's NVRAM configuration variables
which have been customized (i.e. they are different than the
default values).
You may wish to write down the values of the indicated
configuration variables so that they may be restored (if necessary)
after the next power-cycle or soft-reset.
