Mini PCIE slot use on XG 125 rev.3

Hello Sniper,

Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community.

The XG 125 uses the 3G/4G module instead of the Wifi Module.

Thank you very much for your clear answer, it took me 15 exchanges on the Sophos Twitter account to finally not get a clear answer.

Suddenly I take advantage of it, I also have an "extension bay" at the back in the form of a hatch screwable with 2 screws.

Is it only used for modules for adding network interfaces? And lastly, my domestic use the exhaust fan is too audible for my taste. These dimensions are 40x40x25 (50db) it seems to me to connect via 4 pin. Can you put a simple Noctua (12db) 40x40x10 4 pin in it, I know the voltage issue will arise.

And if you had a proposal to make this modification in order to switch to a quieter fan. Regards,

Ok, fine with the hardware changes.

On the other hand concerning the "extension bay" it is part of an option of addition as for the slot 3g / 4g.

 Here is :  

The rear of the XG125 I am talking about the hatch screwed on the right. Is it only for an additional Ethernet interface module?

Hello Sniper,

Take a look at this PDF, that is for the 3g/4g expansion module https://www.sophos.com/en-us/medialibrary/PDFs/documentation/sophos-3g-4g-expansion-module-mounting-instructions-rev3.pdf

Uh? emmasophos, that is ultimately not clear.

I asked you 5 days ago what the mini PCIE port was used for next to the M.2 ssd. And you answered me the 3g / 4g module

And you answer the same thing for the hatch which is located behind the XG125.

So ok, in view of the PDF the 3G / 4G module is good for this famous hatch that I sent you in picture.

However, this does not answer the very first question. Since images sometimes speak more than words, I put you inside the sophos XG 125.

We can see here at the top right an SSD on an M2 port then next to a mini PCIE port? what is it used for. You will agree that it is impossible that this is also a port for a 3G / 4G module ....

By hoping to have a concrete answer is precise.
