NOTE: The master controller, its redundant master controller, and all of its local controllers must run on the same ArubaOS
version. Once you upgrade your network and install the W-6000M3 Controller Module into your network, verify that the software
version on your W-6000M3 Controller Module matches the rest of the network. If the code shipped on the module is prior to the
version that you upgraded your network to, you must upgrade the code on the W-6000M3 Controller Module to match the rest of
the network.
NOTE: Inform your supplier if there are any incorrect, missing, or damaged parts. If possible, retain the carton, including the
original packing materials. Use these materials to repack and return the unit to the supplier if needed.
NOTE: Optional accessories, such SFP and XFP modules, are available for use with the W-6000M3 and are sold separately.
