Overview
All HedgeHog 4 consoles manufactured in January 2015 or later that have the motherboard back plane exposed on the rear of the console are built using the exact same internal and external hardware. Therefore, the platform (or model) of the desk is not determined by the physical components of the desk but rather by an encrypted software certificate installed on the console. This allows any HedgeHog 4 console manufactured in January 2015 or later that has its motherboard back plane exposed on the rear of the console to be upgraded/downgraded to any one of the platforms listed in the table below without the need for new hardware or physical changes to the desk.
