     removed immediately after a "Reboot UPS" process is completed.

 Known Issues

Module Compatibility:
========================

Compatible with Power Module (PM) firmware PMA 5.0

 What to expect when installing a PM with PMA 1.3 (included in system package UPS 10.8):
  If the UPS output is ON,
    the PM will automatically connect to the output (solid green LED).
  If the UPS output is OFF,
    the PM will stay disconnected from the output (pulsing green LED).
  After 5 minutes, the system will display a warning (Unknown UPS internal error [1511-00XX]).
  The warning means the PM firmware is not the same as the version included in the system package.
  If the output is ON,
    the PM will NOT auto update!
  If the output is OFF,
    the PM will auto update to PMA 3.3 in 2 minutes and the warning will clear.

 What to expect when installing a PM with PMA 3.3 (included in system package UPS 13.2/UPS 13.3):
  If the UPS output is ON,
    the PM will stay disconnected from the output (pulsing green LED)).
  If the UPS output is OFF,
    the PM will stay disconnected from the output (pulsing green LED)).
  After 5 minutes, the system will display a warning (Unknown UPS internal error [1511-00XX]).
  The warning means the PM firmware is not the same as the version included in the system package.
  The PM will auto update to PMA 3.3 in 2 minutes and the warning will clear.
  If the UPS output is ON after the auto update is complete,
    the power module will connect to the output (solid green LED).

Compatible with Intelligence Module (IM) firmware UPS 17.0 / IMA 10.0

 What to expect when installing an IM with UPS 10.8 FW in the empty IM slot:
  If the output is OFF,
    After 15 minutes, the system will display a warning (Unknown UPS internal error [1502-00XX]).
    The warning means the new IM firmware is not same as the firmware of the IM in control.
  If the output is ON,
    the system will display no warning message.
  The new IM will NOT auto-update to UPS 13.2.
  To get the new IM to the latest firmware, the UPS firmware upgrade process must be performed
  with the UPS 10.8 IM acting as MIM.

 What to expect when installing an IM with UPS 13.2 or later in the empty IM slot:
  After 15 minutes, the system will display a warning (Unknown UPS internal error [1502-00XX]).
  The warning means the new IM firmware is not the same as the firmware of the IM in control.
  The new IM will auto update to UPS 16.0 firmware in ~1 hour and the warning will clear.
  A failure to auto update results in a warning (Unknown UPS internal error [1504-00XX]).
  In the event of an auto update failure, to get the new IM to the latest firmware, the UPS firmware
  upgrade process must be performed while the IM with older firmware is acting MIM (preferably
  alone in the system with output off).

Compatible with Battery Module (BM) firmware 8.49

  If a BM with firmware other than 8.49 is installed, the main intelligence module will update
  the BM firmware to 8.49.
  There is no notification that there is mismatched firmware.
  Battery module FW update is done in the background and can take several hours to complete.
