Although the typical upgrade process is all that is necessary in most cases,
upgrading from (or reverting to) some versions of Lenovo Enterprise Network
Operating System requires special steps prior to or after the software
installation process. Please be sure to follow all applicable instructions in the
release notes document for the specific software release to ensure that your
switch continues to operate as expected after installing new software.
