[rescue] SPARC T4-1 Replaced SAS backplane firmware issues

Hey all,

A colleague and I have repaired a T4-1 we got for $2 (what a steal!), 
that turned out to have been dropped and destroyed the connectors on the 
SAS backplane and PDB.

My colleague managed to find a replacement backplane and PDR on ebay, 
and while it now works, the iLOM complains about a firmware mismatch on 
the backplane.

Would a firmware update remedy this issue, or are the parts keyed in 
some fashion?

And does anyone have a version of the T4-1 firmware they would be 
willing to share? I didn't write down the version it's on currently, but 
it's one from 2013, so pretty early.

Cheers,
Ethan
