DFI VC300-CS Intel 8th/9th Gen Core In-Vehicle PC with 4x PoE and Ampere or Turing MXM GPU

The VC300-CS is a DFI in-vehicle PC for heavier GPU work such as multi-camera analytics and 3D mapping: 8th/9th Gen Intel Core processors with an MXM slot that takes GPU modules of up to 150 W, plus four PoE ports, swappable SSDs and E-Mark compliant power.

DFI offers the Core i7-9700TE, i7-8700T and i5-9500TE at 35 W or the i7-9700E at 65 W on the Intel Q370 chipset. Memory is dual-channel DDR4-2666 on SO-DIMMs, up to 64 GB. The MXM slot runs PCIe 3.0 x16 for Type A, B or C modules, and DFI lists the NVIDIA T1000 and Quadro RTX 3000 (Turing) and the RTX A500, RTX A1000, RTX A2000 and RTX A4500 (Ampere) as compatible. Intel UHD Graphics 630 drives VGA, HDMI and DP++. The VC300-CS runs Windows 10 IoT Enterprise or Ubuntu 18.04.

Networking is four IEEE 802.3af PoE ports on RJ45 at up to 15.4 W each and two GbE ports with Wake on LAN, with Intel AMT on Core i7 and i5. Two RS-232/422/485 ports on DB9 plus two on internal headers, 8-bit isolated DI and DO at 2 kV, four USB 3.0, two USB 2.0 and audio complete the I/O. Two swappable 2.5″ SSD bays with lock and an M.2 2280 boot slot hold storage, and three mini PCIe slots and an M.2 B-key slot take optional Wi-Fi, 5G or CAN modules, with three accessible SIM slots and TPM 2.0.

Power is 9 to 36 V DC for 12 V systems or 14.4 to 33.6 V for 24 V, with E-Mark compliant ignition and reverse polarity protection. The VC300-CS runs fanless from -20 °C to 70 °C with CPU and GPU under 100 W, or -20 °C to 60 °C under 160 W, and from -20 °C to 70 °C up to 190 W with active fan cooling. It is shock and vibration tested to MIL-STD-810G; DFI lists CE, FCC, UKCA, RoHS and E-Mark compliance. We supply it configured and tested, with the GPU, memory, SSDs and OS image fitted.
