    _bolek_ got a reaction from Ithanul in Preparing for 10 GIGABIT Internet! What Could Go Wrong?   
    Looking on this video make me cry an goosebumps. Like @mynameisjuan say, you are done this horrible this time and wrong - almost horror for network admin and engineer. Horror movie
     
    I must point few things:
     
    As i know, you don't need do screw server rack door, you can remove them (read manual),
     
    Star using server KVM like this site  - cheep, less space and more comfortable to use
     
    Stop using different network devices, and believe me when i say if you need then use CISCO for networking (like NEXUS 3000 for 10GbX - YES you can buy refurbished too, for less then 1200$). Reason is simple - VLAN's and other network issue will disapere. About VLAN, on DELL not working that same as on CISCO or other devices compatible with IEEE 802.1q, that same issue you will find in HP, Mikrotik, D-Link and few other especially when using TRUNK.
     
    When you cleaning server you should remove most of the parts like, PCIe card, fans, disk and power supply. As IT technician you should know this ?
     
    Ok. Some other advice:
    First if you upgraded to PFSense and custom hardware then i presume you also considered to run some sort of IDS or IPS in network. I don't think that on this configuration will work smoothly on only 32GB RAM (you should upgrade to 64 if not 128GB especially snort - only IDS you should run on PFSense - will take almost all resource it that configuration). I advice to make some changes in sysctl for kernel like its pointed on this site, you not be disappointed in result (i do this on any FreeBSD/OpenBSD server i administrate). Of corse better choice will be Fortinet (FortiGate) for the price but its your choice. Other thing is if you want to get full 10GbX on WAN and push this to LAN then you should consider replace 10GbX port to 40GbX - only then you will get full 10GbX on WAN.
    As for CARP ... you can do this using BGP, so don't need to have two identical device (i presume you know that if you want take full advantage of fail over the you shoul have two identical devices even if you use CARP - CARP is *BSD [created by OpenBSD] alternative to CISCO HSRP and IETF VRRP  and it working almost identical but using encryption).
     
    Configuration on UBIQUITY EdgeRouter Pro is not compatible with PFSense so you need someone who understand both to migrate configuration
    Is i see your notwork didn't work, and because i we don't know if PC got IP (and right one) then i will try point few things to check:
    - did you configure NAT? dynamic or static?
    - did you configure VLAN on TRUNK properly? TRUNK on LAN interface in router - not WAN?
    - did you configure routing like entering proper GW for WAN?
    - did you configure DHCP properly for each VLAN?
    - did you configure TRUNK on proper port in DELL and VLAN on ports when PC is connected? - remember PC port should not be TRUNK
    This is all i can help with knowledge i get form video
     
    As for servers ...:
    - in modern RAID card, the order of disk don't matter. When you create RAID disk all information about RAID ID and RAID type is stored on DISK - that's why when you move disk to other server with that same card model or that same manufacturer RAID card detect RAID configuration and import it.
    - you should confider to change consumer grade SSD like Kingston to something more reliable like SAMSUNG Enterprise SSD, INTEL DC SSD, Micron or other enterprise and server grade one.
