Disable the Cisco WLC 802.11a/n and 802.11b/g/n networks for Firmware Upgrade

I am upgrading a 2504 WLC from 8.3.132.0 to 8.3.141.0.  I am following the directions that are listed here:  https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn83mr4.html

 

Step 4 mentions this:

Step 4   (Optional) Disable the Cisco WLC 802.11a/n and 802.11b/g/n networks.
Note   

For busy networks, Cisco WLCs on high utilization, and small Cisco WLC platforms, we recommend that you disable the 802.11a/n and 802.11b/g/n networks as a precautionary measure.

 

Is it suggesting turning off the radios for the duration of the install, or shutting down the networks in the menus at "Wireless -> 802.11a/n/ac -> 802.11a Network Status" in the GUI?  What is this precautionary measure preventing?

You've got a tiny 2504 controller. This step is purely optional.
