Dears , 

    I did it successfully tonight , the code on the new Sup was SXJ4 however 
the code on the running Sup is SXI8a . I just insert the new SUP and it come up 
with RPR mode so I copy the SXI8 from Sup-bootdisk to the Slavesub-bootdisck 
and reconfigured the boot to make the path change on the new Sup then reset it 
and it come to SSO. 
    
    The only strange thinks I encounter is that the slot 6 where I inserted the 
new Sup was disabled but this didn't prevent the Sup to come up with RPR:

TSA3-PACOSWB9004(config)#no power enable module 6 
%FRU Absent. Power admin state updated

While your mileage may vary I have has great success in doing this exact thing. 
RMA sups don't necessarily come with the same code as what you are running. Put 
the new sup in (same hardware, right?) and it should boot up into RPR standby 
cold due to the mid matched code. At this point copy the code from the flash of 
one sup to the other 'wr mem', check 'show red' to ensure config reg and boot 
var are correct and a 'redundancy reload peer' should do the trick.

Out of curiosity, what code are you running on this?

Also is your box configured for SSO mode currently and is running in simplex, 
or is it configured for RPR. If the latter, I think it may require a reload to 
change modes, but I don't recall.

Good luck.
