Changing the menu or closing the browser before the upgrade is completely done
(before completing step 4) will cancel the whole upgrade process.
Upgrading the firmware of a parallel system configuration requires an upgrade of each
single system. E.g. a parallel configuration of three FPRA systems requires three, one
on each system, firmware upgrades, to upgrade the whole system firmware.
