1U rack firewall with 16-core Atom C3958

The Partaker R6-C3958-8G-128G is a 1U rack-mountable firewall appliance built around an Intel Atom C3958 processor with 16 cores and AES-NI hardware encryption. It includes 8 GB of DDR4 RAM and a 128 GB NVME SSD, supporting RouterOS and open-source platforms such as pfSense and OPNsense. The chassis measures 484 x 252 x 48 mm and weighs 3.2 kgs, designed for data-centre or enterprise deployment with a 25 W TDP.

6 RJ-45 and 4 SFP+ ports with expansion slots

Six Gigabit RJ-45 ports and four 10 GbE SFP+ optical ports provide high-density connectivity for WAN and LAN segmentation. Front-panel I/O adds Console, USB 2.0, USB 3.0 and VGA for local management. Internal expansion includes a Mini PCIE slot, an M.2 3052 USB 3.0 slot with SIM holder and a PCIe x8 slot for additional network or acceleration cards. An ATX power supply is pre-installed for immediate operation.

Suits network teams needing dense 10G uplinks

This appliance fits organisations that require hardware AES acceleration and multiple 10 GbE fibre links in a single 1U form factor. It is less appropriate for buyers who need more than 8 GB of RAM out of the box or who require 2.5 GbE or 25 GbE interfaces not present on this platform. The maximum memory ceiling is 64 GB, so high-concurrency VPN workloads may demand a memory upgrade before deployment.

Questions about this item

How much RAM can I add later if 8 GB becomes a bottleneck?

The board has two SODIMM DDR4 2400 MT/s slots supporting up to 64 GB total, so you can install larger modules when needed.

Which port type will saturate first when pushing sustained multi-gigabit throughput?

The six RJ-45 ports are limited to 1 Gbps each, while the four SFP+ X553 ports run at 10 Gbps, so the copper interfaces hit their ceiling first.

How loud and hot does the unit get when running 24/7 in a rack?

A ball-bearing silent fan cools the 25 W TDP processor; the chassis is rated for continuous operation up to 50 °C ambient with the included ATX power supply.
