UCS Blades - General Question

[Quintin.Mayo]

We have a couple UCS B200 M2 blades that we would like to add to another 5108 Chassis. The Chassis is currently running 3.1 (2b), the existing blades (B200 M3/M4) are running 3.1(22a) and the Fabric Interconnects (UCS 6296UP) are running 5.0(3)N2(3.12b). Is it possible to add the M2 Blades?  

Any assistance would be appreciated!

Also keep in mind the B200-M2 blade needs a vic1280 to run on 3.1+ firmware.
