Important Information for CPU Upgrade from 8/16/32/64 to 100 Series

32/64 CPUs and 100 Series CPUs have different functions.
CPU upgrade status will not show on the control panel unless the control panel has been upgraded prior to the
CPU upgrade (see page 260).
Epica DGX SC Optical Boards are not supported within the 100 Series platform; therefore, these boards must be
removed prior to using the new CPU.
