I was going through our spare parts to put together a 1756 rack of I/O to replace an old 1771 rack. About 5-6 of my spare digital cards are firmware V2.x. I understand from TechConnect ID494609 that because of ASIC differences, V2.x firmware cannot be flashed up to v3.x and vice versa.
That said, is there any issue with reusing these v2.x cards in my rack? My main concern is having to change the module definition if one of these cards ever breaks because it's a bear to take this system offline to download the program.
Thanks in advance.
