Won the AX42 server in auction only. Price cheap itself. Delivery fast only. Then discovered the SATA backplane is GLUED to one generation only. Newer drives not recognized kindly. Older drives recognized but at reduced speed only. Contacted support, they said « use what is tested only ». The backplane part number is some custom variant, not standard. Has anyone found workaround for this issue? Kindly advise, dear/madam. The server is good otherwise but storage flexibility is zero only.

What does glued backplane mean?? Can you not just swap the cable or something?? Thanks!!

Actually the BackplaneGlue is the Physical connector plus the Firmware revision plus the Power delivery circuit. Actually Hetzner did the SameThing with their AuctionLine. Actually the PartNumber reveals Everything. Actually post the Number oder?

one small ping for man...
