If the active and standby control cards have different software versions, the transfer can take up to 30 minutes.
Software transfers occur when different software versions exist on the two cards. After the transfer completes,
the active control card reboots and goes into standby mode after approximately three minutes.
No action is necessary. Wait for the transfer or the software download to complete.
