The results window includes the unit name, type and when the version information
retrieval began.
The Appliance Version field will contain the main firmware version; if a unit did not
or cannot report a firmware version, dashes are displayed.
The Boot Version field contains the boot firmware version. If a unit does not support a
boot version but has an appliance version, N/A will be displayed. Dashes will be
displayed if a unit does not support either appliance or boot firmware.
The Status field indicates the result of the display (for example, Show Versions
complete or Show Versions not supported).
