Purchased the unit for £350, so fingers crossed.

Yes, thank you, I found this document useful for determining power consumption etc. I'd prob choose a XG 210 rev 3 over the 230 rev 2, but it's the 230 that's for sale atm. It would have Sophos XG v19 Home license installed.

Yes as rfcat_vk replied, this for a Home setup to replace a PowerEdge R220 that's drawing circa 30w ish. I've got a number of devices that run firewall appliances, some a bit too weak for Sophos XG and some a bit too juicy on the power. My Atom based system has Untangle.

Didn't follow Mike Scott, but this is a homelab, then?

Hi,

he is replacing his power hungry dell edge server with a more power friendly device.

Hello Mike,

is this a homelab or do you want to use it in a company network?

The reason I ask is licensing options ...

Hi Mike,

The only issue will be the disk and UI suggest you replace it rather than trying to reformat it.

The port numbering will change, so the labels on the box will more than likely be incorrect. During install use the console port for connections.
