Firewall Home Edition on a Shuttle XPC slim DL30N?

Question

Hi, I probably bought a wrong hardware to run Sophos Firewall Home Edition on: A Shuttle Barebone XPC Slim DL30N. 
 I am not sure, whether or not it supports Legacy BIOS, but possibly not :-/ So here are my questions: 
 
 I can install the Firewall with Version 21.0.0_GA-169. When I boot, I see the menu, where I can choose the firewall. Choosing that option nothing happens anymore, just a blinking cursor. Does that match to the situation, when the BIOS is wrong (non-Legacy)? Or could that possibly have another issue? 
 Does anybody know, how to bring Sophos Firewall working on a Shuttle Barebone XPC Small DL30N? 
 If not - which I assume: Any suggestions what Intel hardware to use? I like the idea of a barebone - especially because of its flexibility... -> I do not see on the product sheets an entry whether or not Legacy BIOS is supported... 
 
 Thank you very much for any input and kind regards 
 David

Hi David Wiedemann , 
 you can get a used SG/XG-appliance (no XGS!) and you can install Sophos Home on it. At the moment you will find many used appliances because at the end of march all XG appliances are useless cause of the EOL of the licenses.

Hi, 
 I can see two issues looking att he specifications. 
 1/. UEFI BIOS - not supported by current firmware 
 2/. Intel i226 series NICs - not supported by the current firmware. 
 You could try installing a VM like proxmox and then install the XG firmware.
