OS Image Installation
If this is the initial installation, re-image the Base with the latest OS Image. This is required for initial
installations only, not for software upgrades such as ISW or firmware. However, re-imaging a Base
to the latest version may be necessary to enable additional ISW features. Consult technical support
to determine site specific necessity.
