Not unless things have changed recently.

V-series and FAS prior to the FAS80x0 series are "different" hardware.

Shane is 100% correct, the V-Series has a different motherboard than the FAS-Series and is a different product number but that has changed with the FAS-8xxx series where now it's a license key.
