Arestech SE-5012E Intel Raptor Lake Core i9/i7/i5 Rugged Industrial Computer with PCIe x16 GPU Slot

Image processing and edge AI projects often need a GPU once more cameras or a larger model arrive, and adding one can mean changing computer. The SE-5012E is the two-slot model in the Arestech SE-5010 series: the same rugged industrial computer as the SE-5010 with a two-slot expansion box carrying one PCIe x16 slot, aimed at edge AI computing, image processing, factory automation and network communications. For three cards, the SE-5014E uses a four-slot box.

The LGA1700 socket on the Intel R680E chipset takes 11 listed 35 W processors: the 14th Gen i7-14700T, i5-14500T and i3-14100T, and 13th and 12th Gen Core i9, i7, i5 and i3 TE parts. Two SO-DIMM sockets hold DDR5 at 4800 or 5600 MHz, ECC or non-ECC, up to 64 GB, and Intel UHD Graphics drives VGA plus three DisplayPort outputs, with three HDMI outputs optional. TPM 2.0 is fitted on the board.

The expansion box adds one PCIe x16 slot, and Arestech lists a 700 W DC power module to support a GPU. Arestech does not publish a card power limit, card length or PCIe generation for the slot, so we confirm the chosen card against the SE-5012E before order. Alongside it sit six RS-232/422/485 ports, eight USB 3.2 Gen2 ports, eight isolated inputs and eight isolated outputs, two Intel I226IT 2.5GbE ports and three flexible I/O windows for optional GbE or PoE+ modules. Storage is two 2.5″ SATA bays and two M.2 M-Key slots with RAID 0/1/5/10, with mini-PCIe, B-Key and E-Key slots for optional 4G and Wi-Fi.

Power is 9 to 48 V DC with ignition control, PC/Car mode and delay-time switches, and over-voltage, over-current and reverse-voltage protection. The computer section is fanless with 35 W processors and the expansion box has its own fan, with a -40 °C to 70 °C operating range, 1 Grms vibration and 15 G shock ratings and CE and FCC Class A marks. We supply the SE-5012E configured, with Windows 11 or Linux installed and the card fitted, and tested before it ships.
