Upgrading Mbridge Fpga On The Management Module - Brocade Communications Systems PowerConnect B-RX Release Note

Upgrading MBRIDGE FPGA on the management module

BigIron RX management modules contain an upgradable FPGA images called MBRIDGE and
SBRIDGE. The MBRIDGE and SBRIDGE image installed must be compatible with the software version
you are running on the BigIron RX.
The following table describes the MBRIDGE FPGA versions required for the 02.8.00a version.
