Starting in April 2018, the SNAP PAC products listed in the Applies To section began to include new flash components. The units are shipped with PAC firmware R9.5g (or higher) and should not be downgraded to a lower firmware version, because PAC firmware versions R9.5f and lower are not compatible with the new flash component.
The newer controllers and brains also ship with a new bootloader (which the new flash component needs):
R6.2c (R-series controllers only)
R6.1c (S-series controllers only)
R1.3b (EB- and SB-series brains only)
