Initial activation of any package must always be performed for the default set of supported card
types.
If a ROM monitor upgrade is required for the software package, the upgrade must be completed
before the package is activated. For ROM monitor upgrade information and procedures, refer to
Appendix B, "Upgrading and Downgrading ROM Monitor Software."
Although more than one version of a software package can be added to a storage device, only one
version of a package can be active for any card.
The package must be compatible with the card for which it is being activated.
Some packages require the activation or deactivation of other packages.
The package being activated must be compatible with the current active software set.

Package activation is complete when the following message is displayed:
