Purpose-built firewall appliance

The Partaker R6-C3958-16G-128G is a 1U rack-mount network security device powered by an Intel Atom C3958 processor with AES-NI hardware encryption. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 128 GB NVME SSD, ready for immediate deployment with platforms such as OPNsense, pfSense, RouterOS, Linux or Windows. Six Gigabit RJ-45 ports and four 10G SFP+ X553 fiber ports provide flexible WAN and LAN connectivity.

Upgrade path from basic routers

This appliance replaces consumer-grade routers or single-port firewall boxes when traffic volume, VPN throughput or multi-WAN complexity exceed their capabilities. The jump is worth it when you need line-rate inspection on 10 GbE uplinks, hardware-accelerated IPsec tunnels, or a fan-cooled chassis rated for continuous 24/7 operation in a 19-inch rack. The included ATX power supply and mounting ears simplify the migration.

Suited for small-enterprise and branch offices

Network administrators who manage VLAN segmentation, high-availability clusters or SD-WAN overlays will appreciate the console port, dual USB interfaces and PCIe x8 expansion slot for additional NICs or accelerator cards. Buyers who require more than 64 GB of total memory, additional 2.5-inch drive bays, or a larger 2U form factor for redundant power supplies should evaluate alternative platforms.

Questions about this item

What rack depth does the 484 x 252 x 48 mm 1U chassis require?

The unit is 252 mm deep, so any standard 19-inch rack with at least that usable depth will accept it; the included mounting ears and wall-hanging brackets provide alternative mounting options.

How do I install an M.2 2280 NVME drive and avoid the common orientation mistake?

Insert the drive into the PCIe 3.0 x2 M.2 slot at a 30-degree angle, press down until the notch catches the standoff, then secure with the single screw; the keyed connector prevents backward insertion.

When should I replace the ball-bearing silent cooling fan?

The fan is rated for continuous 24/7 operation; plan replacement if bearing noise appears or airflow drops enough to raise chassis temperature above the 50 °C operating limit.
