Help with a Chinese OPNsense Box

[Thagor]

Hey IDK if this is the correct sub category, but I got one of these N100 Chinese OPNsense Boxes with 4 2.5Gbit Ethernet ports.

I bought it bare bone and added a 1 TB Crucial P5 Plus and one 32 GB of Crucial DDR5-4800 CL40 SO-DIMM Module (CT32G48C40S5) and I can’t get it to post. I tried all the video outs it has, the only indicator I’m seeing is a Green “light” LED, and a red DISK LED light up when this thing boots. See pic:

Does anybody have experience with these. I don’t really have the Material to test other ram modules, but the one I have should be in spec, at least clock and total amount wise (though I’m unsure if the N100 supports 32 GB in one Module)

(though I’m unsure if the N100 supports 32 GB in one Module)

This is my thought as well. I think the lower end CPUs will have a hard time controlling a higher end RAM.

32 GB of Crucial DDR5-4800 CL40 SO-DIMM Module (CT32G48C40S5)

I think @regulareel has the right idea. What CPU does this box have? I do not think it supports 32GB at all. I have one just like it with a Celeron processor and it does not support more than 8GB of memory.

Intel officially only supports 16Gbyte memory size (and likely modules)

I did not realize N100 is model name, but yes, that processor probably won’t ever be running more then 16GB of memory.

ah shit I misread the ark entry … thanks!
