Updating the Firmware on an Adapter
Do not remove the hardware that contains the endpoint or perform any maintenance on it until the update
process has completed. If the hardware is removed or otherwise unavailable due to maintenance, the
firmware update fails. This failure may corrupt the backup partition. You cannot update the firmware on
an endpoint with a corrupted backup partition.
