NOTE
The software on the I/O modules is not updated during a hitless upgrade, only the software on the MSMs. The I/O
module software is updated when the switch reboots, or when a disabled slot is enabled.
NOTE
If you download an image to the backup MSM, the image passes through the primary MSM before the image is
downloaded to the backup MSM.
