You're right, DeskStation designed that board and all knowledge about
ARCS disappeared with them. Getting the ARCS Specs might be the only

AFAIK some Linuxguys tried to get some help from former DeskStation=20

What about exchanging the Board? The CPU resides on a Riserboard and
could this work on a UX? They are sometimes available at eBay.
