xvi Upgrade Paths 
Upgrade Paths
Table 1 correlates each upgrade to an associated chapter number.
NOTE:
The oldest load that can be directly upgraded to R6 is V2 4.5. If the existing 
load is older than that, it must first be upgraded to V2 4.5. This can be done 
with Remediation 687DR. Also, the existing load must be V1 8.0 or later to 
update to V2 4.5. If it is not, it can be upgraded to 8.0 with Remediation 
645DR.
