What's the difference between the IGX UVM Model Types A, B, C, D, E

[hboltz]

Is there any source for information about the different model types of the UVM cards. We have model E built in our IGX network and our partner want's to replace one with a model type A. Are these models interoperable or will we have problems when we mix this model types?

The model Types for UVM is in B and also check the link http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/74/157.html

A specifies the card type

Model Types:

B specifies the model designator, which specifies much of the capabilities a card has. For example, UVM model C (rev. A) has firmware DCA, while UVM model D (rev. A) has firmware DDA. Model C was the first UVM model that supported G.729 compression (among other new features). Model D supports everything that is supported by model C and adds Idle Code Compression (and other features) to the supported features.

C specifies the version level, which typically indicates the bug-fix level. The latest UVM firmware level used for this example is release E or DDE indicating UVM model D version E.
