We're on K15 now, so K12 is very old firmware.

There are two different 5400 chassis: V1 & V2.

The latest modules are V2 modules. Older ones are V1.

There are various issues with putting V2 modules in a V1 chassis, or vice-versa.

I have the exact same issue currently.  What are the issues running V2 modules on a V1 chassis?

Any idea what the firmware path is to K.15.xx?

In fact, the chassis itself hasn't changed, it's the firmware that introduced support for V2 modules.

V2 modules won't work in older firmware.

Mixing V1 & V2 modules in newer firmware reduces performance down to the V1s' capability.
