NOTE: 
Switch administrators are strongly advised to maintain Dell Networking 
switches on the latest version of the Dell Networking Operating System (DNOS). 
Dell Networking continually improves the features and functions of DNOS based on 
feedback from you, the customer. For critical infrastructure, prestaging of the new 
release into a noncritical portion of the network is recommended to verify network 
configuration and operation with the new DNOS version.
