• Cooling: fanless, uses natural heat dissipation (passive cooling)
• Size & form factor: 1U height, compact design (43.6 mm × 250 mm × 210 mm without protrusions)
• Operating environment: 0 °C to 45 °C, relative humidity 5% to 95% (non‑condensing)

Performance & Capacity

• Firewall throughput (ideal, UDP, various packet sizes): ~ 1.2 Gbit/s
• Throughput with advanced services (Firewall + SA + IPS / Antivirus): ~ 0.6 Gbit/s
• IPSec VPN throughput (AES‑256 + SHA256, ~1,420‑byte packets): ~ 1 Gbit/s
• SSL inspection throughput (with IPS enabled, HTTPS traffic): ~ 200 Mbit/s
• Maximum concurrent sessions (HTTP 1.1): ~ 300,000
• New sessions per second (HTTP 1.1): ~ 20,000
• Maximum number of IPSec VPN tunnels: Gauge from different sources
    – Some sources list 100 tunnels (GW‑to‑GW) and 10 SSL VPN tunnels for default licensing. 
    – Others, in product spec listings, claim up to 1,000 IPSec tunnels (both site‑to‑site and client).
• VPN / SSL Users: default / maximum 100 SSL VPN users in many spec sheets
• Number of security policies: up to 1,000 rules / policies in many configurations
• Virtual firewalls (multi‑tenancy): supports 10 virtual firewalls (logical instances)
• VLAN / Interfaces:
    – Maximum VLANs: 4,094 
    – VLANIF interfaces: up to 256
