Notes:
1. When management firmware is updated, the management module will automatically
reboot. In redundant configuration, the active management module reboots first,
and the standby management module becomes active. When the management
module startup is complete, another management module reboots. Then, the
originally active management module returns to be active.
2. Make sure to read through
