Susan,
You don't have to do anything to the old one. You might want to purge it,
just to avoid using it. Just hook up the new one like you did the last
time. In this case, there is no problem having more than one front end
linked up, because the 2 versions are pretty much the same. There can be
good reasons at times for having more that one front end connected, but we
don't have to get into that here.
