DFI CMS100-H420IB Intel LGA 1200 10th Gen Core Mini-ITX SBC with H420E Chipset and Dual LAN

Many embedded designs run a single application for their whole service life: a machine HMI, a laboratory analyser or a test fixture on a production line. They need a socketed board that takes a standard ATX supply and a choice of processor, and they rarely need remote management or RAID. The CMS100-H420IB is the H420E build in the DFI CMS100 series of Mini-ITX SBCs for those designs.

The LGA1200 socket takes 10th Gen Intel Core i9, i7, i5 and i3 processors from four to ten cores, plus two-core Pentium and Celeron parts, in 65 W E and 35 W TE versions, so the processor can be sized to the application and the cooling. Two DDR4 2933 MHz SO-DIMMs hold up to 64 GB. Intel UHD Graphics drives DP++, HDMI 1.4b or a second DP++, and DVI-I at the rear, plus internal LVDS and eDP for a panel, four displays at once.

Networking pairs a 2.5GbE port on Intel I225LM with a GbE port on an Intel I219V, which has no AMT or vPro. The rear panel carries five USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and one USB 2.0, and an internal header adds two more USB 2.0. Two RS-232/422/485 DB9 ports and 8-bit DIO connect barcode readers, printers and machine signals. The M.2 M-key takes an NVMe SSD at PCIe x1 Gen3, the B-key a PCIe x1 or SATA module, and the E-key Wi-Fi, with two SATA 3.0 ports and a PCIe x16 slot at Gen3.

The CMS100-H420IB runs from a 24-pin and 8-pin ATX supply and operates from -5 to 65 °C, with CE, FCC, UKCA, UL, CB and RoHS compliance. For vPro, RAID and six USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, choose CMS100-Q470IB; add Xeon W processors and ECC memory with CMS100-W480IB.
