This image version is not allowed on this unit/stack, please refer to the release documentation.

>> Verify the unit is running a newer Power Over Ethernet (PoE) chipset (PD692220), that will be supported in the code 08095h or higher. The New PoE chipset does not support releases older than 8.0.95h or lower patches and 9.0.10d or lower patches, so we cannot downgrade the firmware to older releases if it’s upgraded to or above 8095h and 9.0.10d.

>>RMA’d switches may also come with the new PoE chipset and their minimum required software versions. In that case, if the stack has an older software version, the stack will need to be upgraded to the same software version as the RMA switch before replacement.

Products affected: Ruckus ICX7150, ICX7450
