you can only replace previous versions with a CP 5623 / CP 5624 if ther
e is a free PCI
Express slot available in the PG/PC.
Note
No configuration changes necessary
You can adopt the configuration of the previous CP. To do this, you simply need to re
load
the configuration.
Procedure for replacement
