1U Firewall Appliance with C3958

The Partaker R13-C3958-16G-128G is a 1U rack-mount firewall appliance built around an Intel Atom C3958 processor. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 128 GB NVME SSD. Ten RJ-45 LAN ports and four SFP+ optical interfaces provide wired connectivity for small-to-medium networks. The platform supports OPNsense, pfSense, RouterOS and other open-source firewall distributions.

Sustained Load Behaviour

A 25 W TDP and ball-bearing silent fan keep the chassis cool during continuous packet processing. AES-NI acceleration offloads VPN encryption without spiking CPU utilisation. UEFI-only boot and hardware auto power-on enable unattended recovery after power loss. The 12 V 6.25 A power input delivers stable current for 24/7 operation in commercial temperature ranges.

Pre-Installation Checks

Verify that your rack provides 19-inch mounting depth for the 484 mm chassis and that airflow meets the 0–50 °C operating window. Confirm the SFP+ transceivers you plan to use match the X553 controller specification. Ensure the single PCIe x8 slot and Mini PCIE or M.2 3052 expansion bays satisfy any add-on card requirements before ordering.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power does the C3958 with its 25 W TDP and ball-bearing silent fan produce during 24/7 operation?

The appliance is rated at 25 W TDP and uses a ball-bearing silent cooling fan designed for continuous long-term operation with minimal heat output.

Which cables and modules do I need to use the 10 RJ-45 LAN ports and 4 SFP+ optical ports on this unit?

You must supply Ethernet cables for the 10 RJ-45 ports and compatible SFP+ transceivers with fibre patch cables for the 4 SFP+ optical ports.

Will my existing 1 GbE and 2.5 GbE switches and routers work with the I211, I350 and I225-V controllers in this appliance?

Yes, the 2 x I211 and 4 x I350 provide standard 1 GbE links and the 4 x I225-V provide 2.5 GbE links, all backward-compatible with older 1 GbE and 100 Mbps equipment.
