As reported previosly by others make sure you have a good warranty as
the chipset will fail randomly. I still have 4 of those but all of them
have been replaced at least once or twice under the warranty.

I have two SYS-5018D-FN4T. One of them works flawlessly. However one of
them needs cold boot to work properly as the one of two 10Gigabit
interfaces shuts down due to the "overheating issue" as I reported by me
