DFI CMS630 Intel Xeon W and 10th Gen Core ATX Industrial Motherboards with Seven Expansion Slots

Multi-card systems in test, inspection and medical imaging often fill a board with a GPU, a frame grabber, a motion card and an older PCI interface all at once. The DFI CMS630 series is an ATX industrial motherboard on the 305 x 244 mm footprint with seven expansion slots and an LGA1200 socket for 10th Gen Intel Core (Comet Lake), so current PCIe cards and legacy PCI cards can share one host.

The socket takes Core i3, i5, i7 and i9 processors in 65 W E and 35 W TE versions, from the four-core i3-10100E to the 10-core i9-10900E, and DFI rates it for processors up to 125 W TDP. Four DDR4 2933 MHz DIMM slots take up to 128 GB. Intel UHD Graphics drives VGA, DP++ up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz and HDMI 1.4b as three independent displays, with hardware encode and decode for H.264, H.265 and VP9, and DFI lists Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, Windows Server 2019 and Linux support.

The CMS630-W480ECRM uses the Intel W480E chipset and accepts Intel Xeon W-1200E processors up to the 95 W W-1290E, with ECC memory support on Xeon and Core i3 for servers that run for months between restarts. The CMS630-Q470ECRM uses the Q470E chipset with non-ECC memory and adds Pentium G6400E and Celeron G5900E and G5900TE options for lighter control workloads. Both support Intel AMT on Core i5, i7 and i9, and the W480E build on Xeon as well.

The seven slots are two PCIe x16 Gen3, running x16 or x8/x8, two PCIe x4 Gen3, a PCIe x4 slot with x1 signal and two PCI slots behind a PCIe-to-PCI bridge. Two M.2 M-key sockets take PCIe x4 Gen3 NVMe SSDs, one of them also SATA, beside four SATA 3.0 ports with RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10. The rear panel has two USB 3.2 Gen 2, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 and four USB 2.0 Type-A ports, two GbE ports on Intel I219LM and I210AT controllers and an RS-232/422/485 DB-9. Headers add another RS-232/422/485 port, four RS-232 ports, 16-bit digital I/O, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 and three USB 2.0.

Power comes from a standard ATX supply over 24-pin and 8-pin connectors, and the boards run from -5 to 65 °C in equipment rooms, test racks and indoor cabinets. Optional TPM 2.0 and a watchdog timer programmable from 1 to 255 seconds support secure, unattended operation, and the CMS630 series carries CE, FCC, UKCA, KC, UL and RoHS compliance.
