is this VSS or single supervisor, 

if this is single supervisor - what is current IOS, what is target IOS you looking to upgrade

1. take the backup config out of the box.

2. download latest version and read the release notes and any ROMMON Upgrade,

3. Copy into sup card.

4. follow boot config change.

5. In maintenance window -reload and test it.

If you get the chance also connect the console cable and capture information (in case anything go wrong you have logs to analyze the issue)

Read the Release Notes very, very carefully because starting from 15.5(5)SY4, there is a manual FPGA upgrade. 

The information about the manual FPGA upgrade is HIDDEN and the FPGA Upgrade command is also HIDDEN.  

Make sure to have console access to the VSS to "catch" the log message about the need to perform the manual FPGA upgrade:

         Please refer Software release documentation for more information.

The error message appeared when I upgraded two stand-alone 6807 to 15.5(1)SY9.  

IMPORTANT:  The above error message can only be seen with a console cable.  

If the message above appears, the line card will not boot up (will appear as "Other") until the FPGA Upgrade is performed.  Depending on the line card, it will take between two to four minutes before the line card boots start working.

I have already documented the complete steps to the manual FPGA upgrade (HERE).

Hola 

Te comparto un enlace que te ayudara, encontraras la manera de hacerlo cuando tienes VSS y cuando es Standalone.
