DFI CMS101-H420IB Intel LGA 1200 10th Gen Core Thin Mini-ITX SBC with H420E Chipset, Triple LAN and 12 V DC Input

A machine HMI or laboratory panel typically runs one application for its whole service life, fits a board behind the display and takes its power from the same 12 V supply as the screen. Remote management and RAID are rarely part of that brief. The CMS101-H420IB is the H420E build in the DFI CMS101 series of Thin 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 to the cooler height behind the panel. Two DDR4 2933 MHz SO-DIMMs hold up to 64 GB, and Intel UHD Graphics drives internal LVDS and eDP connectors plus two rear DP++ ports, three displays at once.

Three RJ45 ports carry 2.5GbE on Intel I225LM, GbE on an Intel I219V without AMT or vPro, and GbE on an I210AT. Four rear USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and four internal USB 2.0 connect the touch controller and peripherals, and two RS-232/422/485 ports, two RS-232 ports and 8-bit DIO sit on internal headers for barcode readers and machine signals. The M.2 M-key takes an NVMe SSD at PCIe x1 Gen3, the B-key a PCIe or USB module such as a cellular modem, and the E-key Wi-Fi, with two SATA 3.0 ports and a PCIe x16 slot.

The CMS101-H420IB runs from 12 V DC on a DC jack or 4-pin connector and operates from -5 to 65 °C, with CE, FCC, UKCA, UL, CB and RoHS compliance. For vPro, RAID and USB 3.2 Gen 2, choose CMS101-Q470IB; add Xeon W-1200TE support with CMS101-W480IB.
