SD-WAN UTM network-applicance Atom x6000EAAEON did not mention any operating system but provides Linux LAN drivers, and most customers will likely run a Linux distribution on the network appliance. The company states the system is fanless, but I think I can see a fan in the photo just above, and the user manual explains how to configure the “System FAN Setting” in the BIOS.
