Summary
Caution: Please do not upgrade to a newer firmware version if the option is available to do so as that newer version has not yet been qualified with our supported releases.

If there is a newer version available than what is posted and your organization has a requirement to move to that release, please open a case with Technical Support and ask to have a ticket created with the Hardware Team to have the newer version of the firmware reviewed and tested.
