Partaker R9 firewall appliance Intel Core i5 3470 16GB RAM 256GB SSD 6 Intel Gigabit LAN

1U rackmount firewall

The Partaker R9 is a 19‑inch 1U cabinet‑style network appliance built around an Intel Core i5 3470 processor on a B75 chipset. It ships with 16 GB of DDR3 memory and a 256 GB mSATA SSD, plus a 150 W 100‑240 V power supply. Six RJ‑45 ports backed by Intel 82574L, 82583V or I211 controllers provide 10/100/1000 Mbps wired connectivity and 1000 Mbps throughput. The unit measures 430 x 270 x 50 mm and weighs 6.5 kg.

AES‑NI and bypass port enable VPN and failover

AES‑NI hardware acceleration is present on the CPU, allowing efficient IPsec and OpenVPN processing on platforms such as pfSense, Untangle or OPNsense. A single LAN bypass set keeps one network path active if the appliance loses power or crashes. The box also includes a VGA output, two USB ports and a serial console for local management. Rack ears, a power cord and a warranty card are supplied in the package.

Verify rack depth and DDR3 expansion limits

The 270 mm chassis depth must fit your rack or shelf, and the 1U height occupies one rack unit. Memory uses two SODIMM DDR3 slots running at 1333 or 1600 MHz with a 32 GB maximum, so the installed 16 GB can be doubled. Storage expansion is possible through one 2.5 or 3.5 inch drive bay alongside the mSATA SSD. Confirm that your chosen firewall distribution supports the Intel B75 platform and the specific NIC controllers before deployment.
