The support model for Spectra Logic firmware is implemented as follows:
ƒ Current Shipping Release – Any issues found in the current release of 
firmware are resolved either with a patch or a new release, depending 
on the types of changes needed. The current release is completely 
supported.
ƒ One Release Prior to the Current Release – Support strongly 
recommends that customers using the previous release of firmware 
upgrade to the current release. If the customer is unwilling or unable to 
do this, Spectra Logic provides patches to the previous release.
ƒ Two Releases Prior to the Current Release – Customers are asked to 
upgrade to the current release. There must be an extremely compelling 
reason to avoid upgrading. Patches to firmware that is two releases 
prior to the current release are extremely rare.
