You can upgrade or downgrade to any version, if you have upgraded Dell EMC Networking OS using the upgrade system
command, instead of the ONIE install option.
The systems shipped with OS 9.14(2.9) and above might contain one of the following chipsets:
● BCM56960_B1 chipset with part number F6N2R or 6N1J1.
● BCM56960_B0 chipset with part number KPX54 or H68CJ.
You can check the part number using the show inventory command
In a system using BCM56960_B1 chipset, you cannot downgrade from Dell EMC Networking OS 9.14(2.9) to OS versions earlier
than 9.10(0.2), due to NPU compatibility issues.
In a system using BCM56960_B1 chipset, if you try to downgrade from OS 9.14(2.9) to OS versions earlier than 9.10(0.2) using
BMP or the upgrade command, the system displays the following error message:

You can upgrade or downgrade the OS to any version in systems using BCM56960_B0 chipset.
Follow these steps carefully to upgrade your S6100-ON systems:

external media prior to upgrading the system.
