Installing Sophos UTM9 on a Cyberoam hardware ?

Question

Hi, 
 I am using a Cyberoam CR25iNG for my home network. Since Sophos bought Cyberoam and the hardware are quite similar, i was wondering if i could install Sophos UTM9 on my CR25iNG. The free UTM home license would bring me much more functionalities. 
 I don't want to buy/build another hardware since i already have a pretty good small form factor dedicated hardware. And this si the only hardware i own with multiple NIC 
 
 Also, i don't exactly know how to proceed as there a few to no documentation on the subject. 
 
 Did someone already success/thought of something similar ? 
 
 Thanks

The recommended path is cyberoam to the new Xg firewall series. The CR series you have is supported under XG firewall.

Hi thanks for your reply. Indeed i could easily install the new XG firewall OS using a usb drive and following this "Getting started" guide : www.sophos.com/.../Sophos-Firewall-Software-Appliance---Getting-Started-Guide.pdf . The XG works great on the CR25iNG. A small performance issue due to the only 1 Go of RAM but i may upgrade it since it is compatible laptop ram.

I don't see why you couldn't install UTM9 on CR25iNG, other than resource consumption. What's the CPU and memory in this CR25iNG? The install process would be to download the software ISO (file name starts with ASG). Burn the ISO to disk. Hook up USB optical drive to the appliance with the disk inserted, then power on the appliance.
