The firmware is downloaded to one CP blade at a time, beginning with the standby CP blade. During
the process, the active CP blade is failed over. After the firmware is downloaded, a firmware commit
starts on both CP blades. The entire firmware download and commit process takes approximately 35
minutes.
If there is an AP blade present: At the point of the failover an
autoleveling is triggered when the active CP detects a blade that contains a different version of the
firmware, regardless of which version is older. Autoleveling downloads firmware to the AP blade,
swaps partitions, reboots the blade, and copies the new firmware from the primary partition to the
secondary partition. If you have multiple AP blades, they are updated simultaneously; however, the
downloads can occur at different rates.

Enter the name or IP address of the FTP server where the firmware file is
stored; for example, 192.1.2.3. You can enter a server name if DNS is
enabled.
Enter the user name of your account on the server; for example, "JohnDoe".
Fabric OS 5.2.x or higher: Specify the full path name of the firmware
directory, for example, /pub/v5.2.x.
Fabric OS 5.1.x or lower: Specify the full path name of the firmware
directory, appended by release.plist; for example,
/pub/v5.1.x/release.plist.
Note: For v4.x and v5.x switches only, do not attempt to locate the
release.plist file in the top level directory; there is a release.plist file for
each platform, and the correct one is automatically selected.
Enter your account password for the server. Note that this is a required
field even if you are logged in as an anonymous user; in such cases, the
value may be ignored by the FTP service.
