Sophos XG230 Rev2 CPU upgrade
-
Has anyone upgraded the CPU on the XG230 Rev2 units, mine runs pfsense nicely, but looking to get a Xeon E3-1240L-V5 chip into it. However unsure re the support.
I've done an export of the hardware from the command line.
At the top it implies E3-1200 support, but also references H110 chipset.
This is the export from BSD, so looks like a H110, but references E3-1200 chip at the top and E3-1500

I have a SG210 and I upgraded the cpu to Xeon E3-1225v3, and 16Gb of RAM. Then I install proxmox and allocated 4Gb of RAM to a VM for pfsense, with dedicated network ports and even the serial port to the LCDproc. It is happily running for the last 12 months. I have other stuff running such as Unifi controller, pi-hole and ngnix as LCX and it worked fine. Pfsense is very efficient and it allows the SG/XG to run a lot more stuff.
