Dirk....The table can be misleading.
51D's & E's have yet to transition to the unrepairable state which is when
they would be considered unavailable.
Until a piece of hardware turns blue in the table it is still available for
Modular Exchange Repair ( if you have a contract). That date is yet to be
determined for the D's and E's and as you can see with older hardware types
in the table, years can pass by between the LifeTime and Unrepairable Phase.

Subject: [foxboro] Lifecycle AW51D/E
Are there any owners of AW51 D & E boxes out there running 6.x?
We recently reviewed the Inv. Lifecycle report and found that the AW51 D & E
boxes are no longer available from jan 2007 on. Invensys advises to change
to G boxes and upgrade to version 7.0.
I hate to imagine what would happen if our host box (E) would fail
(motherboard or sun Proccessor) and we can't get a replacement within a
couple of days....
I probably can't convince management to replace and upgrade a perfectly good
system, only because of the end of lifetime issue....So we'll probably try
to obtain a spare E box.
I would be interested in knowing the strategies on this of the other I/A
users.
Thanks & Rgds,
