Upgrading a Topspin 270 with the Chassis
Manager

For the procedure needed to upgrade a Topspin 270 chassis using the Chassis Manager GUI, refer to the
Chassis Manager User Guide.

Upgrading an Individual Controller Card

When upgrading a single Controller card (for example, when replacing an old fabric Controller card
with a new one), it is recommended that you use the CLI if you need to change the image on the new
card.
You can use the Element Manager or Chassis Manager to upgrade/downgrade one Controller card to
match the image of another. However, the GUIs do not support the ability to reboot the standby
Controller. Therefore, you must physically remove and reinsert the standby Controller card to activate
the image.
