I'm sorry, but this does not make sense on multiple levels. The processor has most likely a serial and JTAG insterface, however the hardware guys did not put a RS232 console or JTAG connector on the back. With the cost and leadtime of industrial design, the decision to add a hole in the plastic for the USB connector and a USB connector on the motherboard was not a trivial one, definitely not an afterthought. What also does not make sense is that after deciding to put the USB on the back, there was still plenty of time to upgrade the memory chip for larger one, it's not like the software had no experience about the server requirements. So, there may be some truth that the HW and SW team were quite uncoordinated on that feature.
