Industrial barebone with quad-core i5
The Partaker PA-3046 is a fanless mini PC built around an Intel Core i5 8th generation processor with four cores. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 memory and a 1 TB SATA SSD installed. The aluminium chassis measures 280 by 143 by 40 mm and weighs 1.5 kg. Passive cooling keeps operation silent while the 9 to 36 V DC input accepts a wide voltage range.
Replaces noisy desktop towers in tight spaces
This unit substitutes a conventional tower where silence, dust resistance or mounting flexibility matter. The jump is worth it when you need four Intel I211-AT gigabit LAN ports, four COM ports with RS232, RS422 and RS485 options, plus VGA and HDMI video outputs. A 15 W TDP and fanless design remove moving parts, while the operating range spans minus 20 to 60 °C with an industrial SSD.
Suits automation, networking and edge deployments
Integrators who require TPM 2.0, watchdog timers, wake-on-LAN, PXE boot and scheduled power-on will find the feature set complete. The single SO-DIMM slot is already populated at the 32 GB maximum, so buyers who want more memory must look elsewhere. Only one M.2 2280 SATA slot and one 2.5 inch SATA bay are provided, limiting storage expansion beyond RAID 0 or 1. No discrete graphics or higher-wattage CPU options are available.

Questions about this item
What are the exact mounting hole patterns and dimensions for the VESA and wall-mount brackets on the PA-3046?
The PA-3046 measures 280 x 143 x 40 mm and weighs 1.5 kg. It ships with mounting ears and is compatible with standard VESA and wall-mount patterns, plus DIN-rail and desktop placement.
How do I install the 32 GB DDR4 module and the 1 TB M.2 2280 SATA SSD, and which step is most often missed?
Open the chassis, insert the SO-DIMM at an angle until it clicks, then secure the M.2 2280 SATA drive with the provided screw. The step most often missed is enabling the M.2 slot in BIOS before the OS install.
When will the CMOS battery or the fanless thermal pads need replacement on this unit?
The fanless design uses passive aluminium cooling with no moving parts, so there are no thermal pads to replace. The onboard CMOS battery typically lasts several years; replace it when the system loses date and time settings.
