      3. It is highly recommended to upgrade all the networking switches (MX9116n and MX5108n) in the MSM Chassis group to 10.5.0.5. During the upgrade process, it is not recommended to make any configuration changes in the chassis-group.
      4. For upgrading the networking switch from 10.4.0E (R3S or R4S), refer to the Upgrade and Downgrade section in the existing SmartFabric Release Notes for additional instructions.

      5. For upgrading the networking switches from 10.5.0.x to 10.5.0.5, it is recommended to upgrade via CLI, detailed in the "Networking Switch CLI upgrade procedure" section.

      6. Power cycle the MX7000 chassis after updating all applicable solution components.
   2. Networking I/O Module CLI Upgrade Procedure
      1. The master Networking I/O Module should be upgraded only after all the members in the chassis-group have completed the upgrade.
      2. If the chassis-group has a mix of MX5108n and MX9116n, complete the upgrade of the MX5108n Networking I/O Modules first (non-Master) and then upgrade the MX9116n Networking I/O Modules.
      3. If multiple Networking I/O Modules are to be upgraded, ensure not more than two Networking I/O Modules are upgraded concurrently (and each Networking I/O Module needs to be part of different fabrics).
      4. Perform the following steps to upgrade the Networking I/O Module:
         1. (Optional) Backup the current running configuration to the startup configuration in EXEC mode.
