Description
This article explains individual FIM/FPM firmware upgrade.
1) Manual FIM02 firmware upgrade/downgrade via GUI.
2) Manual FPM04 firmware upgrade/downgrade via GUI.
7k chassis running on 7000-FortiOS v6.0.4 is used.
For some reason, replace FIM/FPM module in the FortiGate 7040E is needed.

New received FIM/FPM blade arrived with different code version on it (e.g. 7000-FortiOS v6.0.9).
To bring the chassis up and running, be sure that all the blades are running under same firmware version.
Upgrade/downgrade the new received FIM/FPM module.
FortiGate-7040E chassis is used as an example.
FortiGate-7040E has 2 FIM modules and 2 FPM modules.

After physical replacement new installed blade will be in Slave status.
Accordingly, upgrade/downgrade steps will be identical for FIM01/FIM02 and FPM03/FPM04.
FIM01 and FPM03 are master blades in this case and non-master FIM02 and FPM04 will be upgraded.
Scope
For version 6.0.4.
Solution
Manual FIM02 firmware upgrade/downgrade via GUI.
After physically plugging in new FIM02 blade our current setup looks like this:
Also on the back plane it will be out-of-sync.
Check it via CLI commands.
2) In Global VDOM go to System -> Firmware, select 'Browse' and select firmware file. Select 'Backup config and upgrade' and select 'Continue'.
After physically plugging in new FPM04 blade our current setup looks like this:

Solution
Manual FIM02 firmware upgrade/downgrade via GUI.
After physically plugging in new FIM02 blade our current setup looks like this:
---------FPM03-6.0.4---------After logging in to GUI, it will be possible to see FIM02 blade in the list inside Security Fabric Widget, but by hovering mouse courser will show the current (v6.0.9) firmware version.
----------FIM01-6.0.4---------
----------FIM02-6.0.9---------
---------FPM04-6.0.4---------
Also on the back plane it will be out-of-sync.
Check it via CLI commands.
