To prevent issues from a corrupted download, always run a Message Digest 5 (MD5) hash validation against the file on your local bootflash before setting it to boot.
Ensure your Supervisor engine has sufficient DRAM and Flash memory. This universal image is significantly larger than older "LAN Base" versions.
