Step 3
If necessary, upgrade the Cisco MDS NX-OS software running on your switch (see the
4.1(x) and SAN-OS 3(x) Software Upgrade and Downgrade
Step 4
Issue the dir bootflash: or dir slot0: command to verify that the EPLD software image file corresponding to your Cisco
MDS NX-OS release is present on the active supervisor module. For example, if your switch is running Cisco MDS
SAN-OS Release 2.1(2), you must have m9000-epld-2.1.2.img in bootflash: or slot0: on the active supervisor module.

...
You can find the EPLD images at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/mds-epld
Step 5
If you need to obtain the appropriate EPLD software image file, follow these steps:
1 Download the EPLD software image file from Cisco.com to your FTP server.
2 Verify that you have enough free space available on the active and standby supervisor memory devices that you plan
to use, either bootflash: or slot0:. The download site on Cisco.com shows the size of the EPLD image file in bytes.
The following example shows how to display the available memory for the bootflash: devices on the active and
standby supervisors:
