hello there guys. im looking to use my intel i225 dual 2.5gb pcie nic with zima os i have running on a normal i7 4770k with some drives if some one could plz help it would be appreciated. i swapped from casa os so the fell is pretty similar but the understanding is a little different.
Thank you for trying ZimaOS and giving detailed feedback.
You can find a lot of learning materials about ZimaOS on our YouTube channel and official docs.
I am not sure whether the i225 dual-port 2.5Gb NIC will work on ZimaOS, but when you buy the models the same as ZimaBoard and ZimaCube, it will work. And you can also buy many compatible modes from our official store.
You can also join our Discord to discuss more about NAS, Media Server, and ZimaOS.
I hope this information is helpful to you and that you can have a better experience with ZimaOS.
I’ve carefully read your question, but there are a few points I’d like to clarify:
- Have you already installed ZimaOS, or are you still in the planning stage?
- After installation, did you find that your i225 NIC isn’t working—or are you checking compatibility before installing?
Just so you know, ZimaOS is primarily built for the ZimaCube (which comes with an i226 NIC). However, the i225 and i226 use the same driver, so if you haven’t installed ZimaOS yet, you likely don’t need to worry about driver compatibility.
Let me know if you need further help!
