 Hmm, you'd know the answer to this, I'm sure.

 Mission:
To make our existing 6310 into a 6320 by adding a cpu card from the other
machine.

Problem:
The ROM is the same (4.1) but the s/n etc have to match for it to
be useable as a 2nd cpu.  Will a save of the most recent of the cpu cards
EEPROM data
to the console TK70 and a restore to the other cpu duplicate the serial no?
Or is their some darker art required? 
I think this is just off topic (less than 10 years) but....

We have a 6530 with the same problem. I just ignore the errors and boot the
system anyway. The only drawback is that the system will not autorestart
...
 from a power failure. 
I believe the correct approach is what you outlined above. If necessary I
can dig out the appropriate manual.
