That works on my T2x, with the special problem that when using the same  
SSD via Ultrabay it needs the jumper.

That doesn't work on my T43.

The T43 needs the "master" jumper for recognizing the SSD, see (p.e.)  
Setup/Startup/Boot

(If I remember correct the jumper blocks inserting the SSD on my T2x).

But it doesn't boot from SSD - I've just tried it once more.

What works (but that's really silly): Booting via "smart boot manager"  
over PXE.

(Yes - there is an "active" partition ...)

Viele Gruesse!
