Unlike storage HDD or SSD firmware, there are no messages indicating that "firmware will now be updated". However, there are three EMS events that are logged in ONTAP 9.1 or later that track completion of the firmware update:

Possible Effect: The nodes in the chassis might not function effectively or redundancy might be lost. Refer to the Hardware specification guide for more information on the position of the field-replaceable unit (FRU) and ways to check or replace it.

After maintenance, such as a replacement of a FRU (NVRAM card, NVRAM battery, RTC battery, DIMM, fan, boot device or PCIe adapter card) on the known-good motherboard, or a replacement of the motherboard itself, you could misinterpret the symptoms as a failed motherboard.
