ZOTAC ZBOX Nano CI547

Question

Hi All, 
 I have just bought the new ZOTAC CI547 with the new i5 Kaby Lake processor, and i put in 32GB Ram and a 256GB SSD HDD in it, so i will be extra fit to run the Sophos UTM for the next years to come. I could prior to my purchase not find any detailed specs on the Ethernets hardware, and was hoping it was INTEL. But it unfortunately happened to be Realtek. :-( 
 And now that i am installing the Sophos appliance, it only detects 1 Ethernet port and not both. I have already updated the firmware to the latest. 
 Any of you have any suggestions to what i need to do before the system detects both NIC's? 
 
 Cheers

Hi Eddie, 
 I had the same problem with a Shuttle DS68U with Intel i211 and i219 NICs. I can confirm that neither UTM 9.4 nor XG 16.05 installers were working with the i219 NIC. 
 Now I'm using the Linux Distribution Proxmox with its nice web-based management UI (no Windows and no fat client needed :-)) and it works really great with KVM and the virtio drivers. (I used the software installers and not the preinstalled VM containers available) 
 With the virtualization under the hood you will have the benefit of real easy backups/restores AND the possibility to run both, the UTM and and the new XG in parallel to try out the new XG or perform a manual migration without additional hardware.

another important Info from Zotac Support: 
 - All boxes which supports Intel AMT are having an intel LAN Chipset on Board (it is needed to support AMT). 
 i have checked and CI 547 and CI 549 have AMT support so an Intel Chipset on Board.... 
 Lower modells like CI327 dont support AMT so Realtek on board which is directly usable with UTM installer.
