Industrial fanless mini PC

The Partaker PA-3046 is a compact barebone system built around an Intel Core i5 8th generation processor with 8GB of DDR4 memory and a 128GB SATA SSD. Its aluminium chassis uses passive cooling for silent operation and accepts a wide 9-36V DC input with polarity protection. The unit ships with Windows 11 or Linux Ubuntu pre-installed and includes mounting hardware for desktop, wall, DIN-rail or VESA installation.

Suited for embedded and edge deployments

Four Intel I211-AT Gigabit LAN ports and four COM ports with RS232/422/485 support make this platform a natural fit for industrial automation, networking appliances and IoT gateways. TPM 2.0, watchdog timer, Wake-on-LAN and PXE boot simplify remote management. It is not suited for workloads needing discrete graphics, high-speed storage beyond SATA or more than 32GB of memory.

Single SO-DIMM slot limits RAM to 32GB

Memory expansion relies on one DDR4 SO-DIMM socket with a 32GB ceiling, so the installed 8GB can be doubled or quadrupled but not exceeded. Storage can be added through an M.2 2280 SATA slot and a 2.5-inch SATA bay that support RAID 0/1, while a Mini PCIe slot with SIM holder provides 4G or Wi-Fi connectivity. The 15W TDP and fanless design keep power draw and noise to a minimum.

Questions about this item

Will the 4 Intel I211-AT LAN ports and 4 COM ports work with my existing industrial switches and RS232/422/485 devices?

The four Intel I211-AT ports provide 10/100/1000M connectivity, and COM 1 and 2 support RS232, RS422 and RS485, so they integrate directly with standard industrial networking and serial equipment.

How can I confirm the fanless Core i5 8250U system is running correctly after installation?

With no fans, silent operation is normal; verify the power LED, check that Windows 11 or Linux Ubuntu boots, and monitor CPU temperature — it should stay within the 0 °C to 50 °C commercial range under load.

The packing list shows the PC, power supply, power cord and WiFi antennas — do I need to buy RAM or storage separately?

This unit already includes 8 GB DDR4 SO-DIMM and a 128 GB M.2 2280 SATA SSD, so no additional memory or storage purchase is required for basic operation.
