DFI CMS101-W480IB Intel Xeon W and 10th Gen Core Thin Mini-ITX Motherboard with W480E Chipset, Triple LAN and 12 V DC Input

Some panel PC designs are specified around a Xeon processor from the start: a medical display station that has to match a validated configuration, or an industrial HMI that shares its software image with Xeon systems elsewhere on site. The CMS101-W480IB is the W480E build in the DFI CMS101 series of Thin Mini-ITX motherboards, and the only CMS101 board that takes Intel Xeon W processors.

The LGA1200 socket accepts Intel Xeon W-1290TE, W-1270TE and W-1250TE processors at 35 W, with ten, eight and six cores, and 10th Gen Intel Core i9, i7, i5 and i3 E and TE processors at up to 65 W. The 35 W Xeon parts suit the limited cooling behind a panel. Two DDR4 2933 MHz SO-DIMMs hold up to 64 GB, and Intel UHD Graphics drives two DP++ ports plus internal LVDS and eDP, with three displays at once.

Three RJ45 ports carry 2.5GbE on Intel I225LM and GbE on the I219LM and I210AT, and the I219LM supports Intel vPro and AMT with a vPro-capable processor. Four rear USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports and four internal USB 2.0 take the touch controller, cameras and a service port. Two RS-232/422/485 ports, two RS-232 ports and 8-bit DIO sit on internal headers. The M.2 M-key runs NVMe at PCIe Gen3 x4 or SATA, the B-key takes a cellular module, the E-key Wi-Fi, and RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 covers the M.2 and two SATA 3.0 drives. A PCIe x16 Gen3 slot supplies up to 75 W.

The CMS101-W480IB 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 and fTPM as standard. CMS101-Q470IB offers the same I/O for Core, Pentium and Celeron processors, and CMS101-H420IB suits panels that need neither vPro nor RAID.
