NOTE
If the new CP blade does not have the same firmware as the active CP blade, the new blade must be upgraded
to the same firmware version. You can determine the firmware version on the replacement blade and perform a
firmware upgrade if necessary after inserting the blade in the chassis, but you must disable high availability (HA)
before inserting the new blade. If the new CP blade is severely down-level, a very specific procedure must be
followed to bring the blade up to the correct firmware version.
