Note: The number sequence for some of the models has been modified. In the past, the sequence of the numbers
appeared to be 11500, 13500, 14500, and so on. The number sequence has changed to include two additional last digits.
The sequence will appear similar to the following models 11508, 11512, and so on. The last two digits denote the
bandwidth rate limit of the appliance in Gigabits.

5500, 7500, 9500, 10500, and 12500 systems can run into a rare I/O condition on builds 8.1 67.x and earlier.
Upgrade these platforms to 8.1 68.7 or 9.x to avoid the issue.

- NetScaler release 8.x reached End of Maintenance on April 15, 2011 and will reach End of Life on April 15, 2012.
NetScaler 7000 series units have FreeBSD version 4.9 installed from the factory and therefore cannot run release 5.2
due to incompatibility with FreeBSD 4.4.
It is not recommended to upgrade directly from release 6.1 to release 9.x. Instead, upgrade from release 6.1 to release
8.1 and then from release 8.1 to release 9.x.
