Note 1:

Do not mix AC and DC power supplies.

Note 2:

E-Series ExaScale systems and FTOS Release 8.1.1.0 requires SFM version 752-00265-03 Rev

01 or higher. Use the

show sfm

command to determine if your SFMs need to be upgraded.

Do not mix SFMs. All the SFMs in the chassis must run the required minimum software version.

"Loading the manual" means you need to wait until the file loads and becomes available for online reading. Some manuals are very large, and the time they take to appear depends on your internet speed.
