NOTICE - RBE970 / RBE971 Firmware Version 12.1.8.7 Released - NA REGION ONLY
NA REGION ONLY
NG is pulling this version from publication and use. Was not intended to be released at this time frame.
ALL users please do not load this version. NG will be releasing this at a later date.
If anyone is having issues with there system after the update, please send me a PM. Need to get your system back to v9 FW.
For those users not experiencing any issues with v12 FW that was loaded, you can keep it loaded. Should anything go wrong or the system starts to not work correctly, we may need to get your system downgraded back to v9.
Applogize for the confusion.
Please be patient.

Checking with NG now as I see this has been posted again on the download site.
FW version is same and last one.
Please avoid installing until we get more information regarding this.
Thank you for your patience.
