If upgrading to YVIBS1B from an existing YVIBS1A configuration, be sure to correct
the GAP12 configuration using ToolboxST. Refer to the sections
and YVIB I/O Upgrade for further details.
Redundant Safety I/O packs mounted on the same terminal board must all be of the
same hardware form, and running the same firmware version.
Do NOT attempt this replacement unless there are enough I/O packs with the newer
hardware form available, including spares.
