| step | what to do | status A | status B |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | put old primary into slot B | green flash | red flash |
if step 1 is not done then:
| step | what to do | status A | status B |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | put old primary into slot B | green | green |
| 6 | pull old primary and reinsert with power on | green flash | red flash |
