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.

Regards,

Jean
