For Cisco NX-OS Release 6.2(10) and later releases it is recommended to perform EPLD upgrade with the current image (version matching the NX-OS release you are upgrading to) before upgrading to Cisco NX-OS Release 8.3(1). You need to trigger EPLD upgrade manually after you upgrade (ISSU) to the target NX-OS release version. When you upgrade from one version to another version, FPGA is not upgraded automatically. If you decide to upgrade EPLD anyway, or it is determined necessary in your environment, then the following guidelines should be followed. Hence n7000-s2-epld.8.3.1.img is not posted to. Note - There are no updates in Nexus 7000 Sup2 EPLD images.
