DFI RPS630 Intel 14th Gen Core ATX Industrial Motherboards with Quad LAN and Seven Expansion Slots

Some industrial systems need more cards than a Micro-ATX board can take: two GPUs, a frame grabber, a motion controller and a network card in one build. The DFI RPS630 series is an ATX industrial motherboard on the 305 x 244 mm footprint with seven expansion slots, six PCIe and one PCI, and an LGA1700 socket, so the slot count and the processor can both be sized to the job.

The socket supports 12th, 13th and 14th Gen Intel Core, Intel Core Series 2 (Bartlett Lake-S), Intel Processor 300, Pentium and Celeron parts, from two to 24 cores at up to 125 W TDP. Four DDR5 4400 MHz DIMM slots take up to 192 GB in dual channel. Intel UHD Graphics drives four independent displays through VGA, two DP++ ports up to 4096 x 2304 at 60 Hz and HDMI, and DFI lists Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, Windows 11 LTSC and Linux support.

The RPS630-R680E uses the Intel R680E chipset with ECC memory support and four LAN ports, three 2.5GbE and one GbE, and adds an M.2 A-key socket for DFI’s out-of-band management module. The RPS630-Q670E uses the Q670E chipset with non-ECC memory and two 2.5GbE ports, for systems where two networks are enough. Both support Intel AMT on supported processors.

Expansion covers two PCIe x16 Gen4 slots, sharing x16 or x8/x8 signal, three PCIe x4 Gen4 slots, one PCIe x4 Gen3 slot and a PCI slot. Two M.2 M-key sockets take NVMe SSDs, one at PCIe x4 Gen4 with SATA support and one at PCIe x4 Gen3, with four SATA 3.0 ports supporting RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 and an M.2 E-key socket for Wi-Fi. Rear I/O has four USB 3.2 Gen 2 and four USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, with two USB 3.2 Gen 1 and further USB 2.0 inside. Six serial ports, two RS-232/422/485 and four RS-232, sit on internal headers with 4-in/8-out digital I/O.

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