Announcing the Netgate 4200 with pfSense Plus Software

@LarryFahnoe Thanks for the info, Larry! Out of curiosity, when did you place the order for them? I'm trying to gauge where I might be in the queue.

LarryFahnoe

@gweempose I ordered them on Jan 24.

Thanks! That's the same day I placed my order, so hopefully mine should be shipping any day now.

I am curious as to what are the 4 slots behind the screw plate on the front? They appear to be either MicroSD slots, or, more likely, 4x nano-SIM slots. Future upgrade perhaps??

Also, whom should I contact to get the faulty "figure-8" cord replaced? It's not the power brick, it's the 2-bade to 2-post plastic cord that is defective. While I'm making due with a black cord for now, it really doesn't match the rest of the decor, and I don't want to lose yet another of these cords. It's mine, and it goes to something specific. I probably sound petty, I just resent being everyone's de facto source of free cords.

The 4 slots behind the cover on the front panel are SIM slots.

Will this fit the https://shop.netgate.com/collections/mount-kits/products/4100-6100-1u-rack-mount-kit

stephenw10

No it's not compatible with the 4100/6100 rack mount kit.

CreationGuy

@stephenw10 No plans for a 1U option that's more compatible with different models?

stephenw10

Not at this time. As far as I know at least.

SteveITS

@CreationGuy There are generic/plain 1U rack shelves. (Assuming it’s less than 1U high, didn’t look)

CreationGuy

@SteveITS
I know that. I was inquiring on just the "official" rack/shelf/mount.

It's a little taller than that, so you'd need a 2U shelf, or at least 2U worth of space.

Is there possibility to add more RAM?

stephenw10

No, there are no DIMM slots on the 4200. The memory is all on-board.

I am NOT the poster but I did see this post that claims "perfectly aligned mounting holes" and thought of this thread:

YMMV. :)
