Important Considerations Before Upgrading to this Version Please note the following information that may affect you if you are upgrading to Software version 5.4.3 from an earlier version: ■ Software version 5.4.3 does not support x600 series switches. ■ Software version 5.4.3 does not support mixed-mode stacking between x610 series switches and x600 series switches, because all switches in the stack must run the same software version.
