This is a bit strange. I recall that in 9.3R they removed support for 
old FPCs and they would no longer come up online. I recall we even 
tested that (9.3R2, M20).  But now I can't find any mention of this in 
the release notes and I'm pretty sure it was there. In our case, the 
old non-EFPC seated a I-1OC48-SON-SMIR.  I wonder if JNPR brought the 
support back or something..
