Mini PCIE slot use on XG 125 rev.3

sniper0891 
Hello everybody,

I would need more details regarding the mini pcie port present next to the M.2 port in the Sophos XG 125 (rev.3).

The port is identical to the MSATA format but it is in the PCIE format therefore not compatible with the BUS level (except for the format).
From what I have read, it could be used for mini cards. But no documentation on the Sophos site allowed me to see the real products and technologies supported by this port.

As long as I do, I would also like to know what the "foxconn" port can be used for on the motherboard, behind a trap that can be unscrewed with two screws.

On the XG 135 this would serve as a Wi-FI module but on the XG125 apparently it is not compatible.

I would be grateful to have a clear answer :)

Cordially.

    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,

    Hello Sniper,

    Thank you for the follow-up. 

    Questions related to modifications on the Hardware product are outside of the scope of the Support.

    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?

    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.
