Upgrading a Single Stack Unit
Upgrading a single stacked switch is necessary when the unit was disabled due to an incorrect FTOS

corresponding partition in the master unit.
To upgrade an individual stack unit with a new FTOS version, follow these steps:
Figure 31-22 shows an example of how to upgrade an individual stack unit.
