DFI ADS101-H610IB Intel 12th to 14th Gen Core Thin Mini-ITX Motherboard with H610E Chipset, Triple LAN and 12 V DC Input

A gateway or edge controller often needs one port for the plant network, one for cameras or drives and one for the uplink, and has less use for the management and RAID features that suit IT-run fleets. The ADS101-H610IB is the H610E build in the DFI ADS101 series of Thin Mini-ITX motherboards, with three Ethernet ports on a 170 x 170 mm board for slim enclosures and panel PCs.

The LGA1700 socket takes 12th Gen Alder Lake, 13th Gen Raptor Lake and 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh Core processors, Intel Core Series 2 (Bartlett Lake-S), Intel Processor 300, Pentium and Celeron, at up to 65 W TDP. A 35 W T-series part suits a panel PC with limited airflow, while a 65 W part with up to 24 cores is there for heavier work. Two DDR4 3200 MHz SO-DIMMs take up to 64 GB, and Intel UHD Graphics runs two DP++ outputs at up to 4096 x 2304, internal LVDS or eDP and DFI’s optional extension port.

Networking is one 2.5GbE port on an Intel I226V and two GbE ports on Intel I210AT and I219V controllers. The rear panel has two USB 3.2 Gen 2, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 and one USB 2.0 port, with four more USB 2.0 on internal headers. Two RS-232/422/485 ports and 8-bit DIO sit on internal headers. On this build the M.2 M-key runs PCIe Gen3 x1 or SATA, the B-key takes a cellular module or SSD with a Nano SIM slot, and the E-key takes Wi-Fi. Two SATA 3.0 ports and a PCIe x16 slot, supplying up to 75 W, complete the expansion.

The ADS101-H610IB runs from 12 V DC on a DC jack or 4-pin connector, operates from -5 to 65 °C, and carries CE, FCC, UKCA and RoHS compliance with TPM 2.0 and a watchdog. For three LAN ports with ECC memory support, vPro and NVMe at PCIe Gen4 x4, choose ADS101-R680IB. For six rear USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, see ADS101-Q670DB.
