I've been using AP9617 Net Mngt cards for the past 4 years.
Any new installations are going to be AP9630 Net Mngt Card 2.
Are they drop in compatable or do I have to flash the firmware in my UPSs?

Not sure what the nature of this post is, but the AP9630 is just as easy to set up as the AP9617. Manual TCP/IP setting has a different procedure now, but is just as fast. The web interface is very familiar to those customers who have used the AP9617, and of course the 9630 card is more feature rich.
