I don't think its advisable to separate the boards in the field..
I remember when we were going to do a field replaceable upgrade some
time
Back, TAC also warned the if we did it wrong, it could cause severe
issues...

Subject: can you turn a 6500 sup1a-pfc into a sup1a-2ge
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
