The sup1a-pfc is just a sup1a-2ge with a pfc daughter board factory installed (I believe). Is it possible to remove the PFC daughter board to turn the sup1a-pfc back into a sup1a-2ge?
 
Has anyone done this?
 
Are there any risks?
 
The data sheets say that the sup1a-2ge is NOT field upgradable so I'm concerned there may be some reason this can't be done (ie if you can't field install maybe you can't field un-install).
 
The reason I want to do this is to have redundant sup1a-2ge's and I already have the sup1a-pfc so it would be cheaper to remove the PFC. Alternatively, can the sup1a-pfc be a redundant supervisor for the sup1a-2ge with the PFC still installed?
 
Any advice appreciated.
 
           Thanks, Darren
