Maybe I misunderstood you original question if so then you have your answer if not... Yes, it is a completely different box connected through the failover cable to the primary PIX. It should be the same version of software as if you are running a fairly complex config you will probably have some commands not supported on an older software version. Also to be truly redundant, they should be on separate power circuits, etc.. If you have any other questions let me know.
