During this manual procedure, the upgrade is prepared, you remove a node from the system, 
upgrade the code on the node, and return the node to the system. You repeat this process for 
the remaining nodes until the last node is removed from the system. Every node must be 
upgraded to the same code level. You cannot interrupt the upgrade and switch to installing a 
different level. When the last node is returned to the system, the system completes the 
upgrade and starts running the new level of code. 

Concurrent code update of all components is supported through the standard Ethernet 
management interfaces.
