I just had this discussion with Cisco TAC and apparently  the only criteria
which determines this is the connection of the Failover cable as it is
marked Primary and Secondary.

Kostas -
I have the same situation, 2 pixi, one real, and one failover bundle.
I just did a show ver on both, #1 has 256M of RAM and failover is enabled.
#2 has 128M and FO is disabled. From this I think I was shipped the wrong
one for #2 or #1 is the primary.
I am just setting them up this week, so lets share if needed.
