NOTE: Upgrading your DSMC to v5.3 also upgrades the DSMC Side Handle. During the upgrade, you will be
instructed to shut down the DSMC twice so that the firmware upgrades successfully. Any DSMC Side Handle
that is upgraded to v5.3 can only be used with DSMCs running v5.2 or later. To use a DSMC Side Handle with
v5.1 after you've upgraded it to v5.3, first downgrade to v5.2, and then downgrade to v5.1.
