Anyone done an RA3000 Second Controller Option Upgrade ?

I've got to do one, but the darn Installation Manual
isn't thorough. By procedure, it has me save my configuration
and then upgrade the firmware while the system is up and
running ( I'm shutting down my ASE service that uses the HSZ22
first anyway).
The upgrade kit comes with a new SWCC CD labeled "For Second Controller
Option"
The Installation doesn't mention the CD at all. It's still V1.0 as is the
current SWCC. The book that comes with the kit is V2.0.

Do I install the kit's "For Second Controller Option" SWCC software first
thing ?
Do I need to do anything AdVFS-wise (flush?) before I replace the 4 SIMMS ?
( I'm going to 64MB on both controllers ).
Are there any other "gotchas" ?

I'm afraid I'm not RA3000 trained and rely solely on the books and Compaq's
slow callback time ( I've been waiting now, and decided to try the FAST list
).
It's too bad the Installation Guide doesn't mention the CD.

Thanks,
