Message
AP Blade type 24 is inserted. Please use slotshow to find out which slot it is in and remove it
Probable Cause and Recommended Action
The firmware download operation was attempting to download Fabric OS 5.0.0 with one or more B-Series
MP Router port blades (blade ID 24) in the system. B-Series MP Router port blades are not supported on
firmware 5.0.0 or lower, so the firmware download operation is aborted.
Use the slotShow command to display which slot the B-Series MP Router port blade is in, and physically
remove the blade(s) from the chassis Retry the firmware download operation.
