Thank you!, that's a very good thing to check. Unfortunately I could find not find a bios setting that looked applicable. It's not a big issue, I plan to stick on my own labels anyway, I just spend way to much time to figure out that I needed to connect to "LAN5" to access the web-interface after my first install 

The layout of my (i5) board is very similar but not identical, for example the buzzer is moved. It does have the same "LAN1" printed on the board, as in your photo's.

In the Bios settings, under "chipset" -> "PCH-IO" -> "PCI Express" -> there is "PCIE Port assignment to LAN  [Disabled]" but that setting is black instead of blue and can't be changed.

Under "advanced" there is an option to blink the LED of a network port, and they are numbered "Bus:Device:Function 01:00:00", also can't be changed, and the MAC address is listed there too.
I think the led-blinking only works if a network is connected to that port.

(Preferably use the "delete" key to enter the bios, since F2 is used inside the bios to (after confirmation) reset to previous values.)

I'm migrating to the "Core i5 4200U" version, also named "HUNSN RM02".
First post and first time OPNsense user (was running "vuurmuur"), but I'll mention what I have found so far:

- build looks solid. My unit also included the 2 rubber plugs to close the holes for wi-fi anetnna's.
- No issues so far installing the OPNsense 21.1.4 (USB) image.
- No BIOS setting for the advertised boot-on-power-restore, so I opened it up. The PWRON jumper towards the right side indeed works. If the unit was off during power-loss, it still turns on at power-restore.
- I read a complaint that the DC plug had no way to lock it in place. I can report that it is a very solid plug and takes quite a bit of effort to pull out. It won't fall out even when mounted vertically.
- (amazon.nl lists the price as: including BTW (VAT) but seller refuses to list tax on invoice...)
- Next week I have a kWh meter that is supposed to be accurate for small loads. I plan to compare this to the DC load, to see the efficiency of the included power supply, and see how the "Core i5" compares to the i3.

- The main thing I would like to mention now is that the network ports are numbered igb0..igb5 in the OS and labeled LAN1..LAN6 on the enclose, but as far as I can see now, the order is REVERSED!, so igb0 is the right-most port, LAN6. (I expect this is the same for the "core i3" version?)
