Compact 1U firewall appliance

The Partaker R13-C3958-16G-256G is a 1U rackmount firewall appliance built around an Intel Atom C3958 processor with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 256 GB NVME SSD. It provides ten RJ-45 LAN ports (six 1 GbE and four 2.5 GbE) plus four SFP+ optical interfaces for high-speed uplinks. The platform targets network administrators and small-to-medium businesses that need a dedicated security gateway running open-source firmware such as OPNsense or pfSense.

Silent 25 W cooling with wide voltage input

The unit draws a maximum of 25 W TDP and operates from a 100-240 V AC supply rated at 1.0 A, with an internal 12 V 6.25 A rail. A dedicated ball-bearing silent fan keeps the processor cool while producing minimal noise, making the appliance suitable for quiet office racks or wall-mounted locations. Operating temperature ranges from 0 to 50 °C with commercial storage or -20 to 50 °C with industrial SSD, and humidity tolerance spans 5 to 90 % non-condensing.

Rackmount chassis with expansion slots

The 19-inch cabinet measures 484 x 252 x 48 mm and includes mounting ears, wall-hanging brackets and foot pads for flexible deployment. Expansion is provided by one Mini PCIe slot, one M.2 3052 USB 3.0 slot with SIM holder, and one PCIe x8 slot for additional NICs or accelerator cards. Console, USB 2.0, USB 3.0 and VGA ports are available on the front for local management. The appliance is not suited for builders who need more than 64 GB of RAM or who require 10 GbE copper ports beyond the four SFP+ cages.

Questions about this item

How do I install the R13-C3958-16G-256G in a 19 inch rack and what step is often missed?

Attach the included mounting bracket ears to the 1U chassis, slide the unit into the 19 inch cabinet, and secure it with rack screws; the step often missed is connecting the console cable before powering on for initial configuration.

What maintenance or replacement will the R13-C3958-16G-256G need later?

The ball silent cooling fan is the primary moving part and may require replacement after extended operation; the 256G NVME SSD and 2.5 inch SATA drive can also be swapped if capacity or endurance limits are reached.

What limit shows up first on the R13-C3958-16G-256G under sustained load?

The 25 W TDP and passive airflow design mean the processor thermal ceiling is reached before the 64 GB DDR4 memory limit or the 10 GbE and SFP+ X553 network throughput saturate.
