ASRock Industrial iEP-9040E Intel Core Series 2 Bartlett Lake R680E Fanless Industrial Computer with 5x LAN, PoE and Ignition Control

Vehicles and factory lines often need one computer for PoE devices, serial equipment and digital signals, powered up and down with the ignition. The ASRock Industrial iEP-9040E is a fanless industrial computer on the Intel R680E chipset for Core (Series 2) Bartlett Lake-S processors, with five 2.5GbE ports and ignition control. It is a newer counterpart to the live iEP-9010E.

The iEP-9040E takes LGA 1700 processors from 45 W to 65 W on ASRock’s support list, from the Core 3 201E to the Core 7 251E. Two DDR5 5600 SO-DIMM sockets take up to 96 GB, with ECC support when the R680E is paired with a selected CPU. Intel UHD Graphics drives DisplayPort 1.4a and HDMI 2.0b at up to 4K at 60 Hz, plus VGA. TPM 2.0 is on board, TSN and Intel TCC are supported under Yocto, and Windows 11 and Linux are supported.

Networking is five Intel I226-IT 2.5GbE ports, with vPro on LAN1 and IEEE 802.3at PoE on two ports at up to 30 W from one port or shared across both. Six USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports handle peripherals. Six COM ports and 8DI/8DO cover serial and digital devices, with optional isolation on COM1 and COM2. Storage is two M.2 Key M NVMe slots on PCIe Gen4 x4 and Gen3 x4, four SATA3 ports with RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10, and an optional CFast socket. An M.2 Key E slot and two M.2 Key B slots with two Nano SIMs take optional Wi-Fi, 4G or 5G modules.

Power is 9 to 36 V DC with 13-mode ignition control, a remote on/off switch and surge, over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current and reverse protection. The iEP-9040E runs fanless from -40 °C to 50 °C with airflow, is tested to 50 G shock and 5 Grms vibration and carries CE and FCC Class A marks. We supply it configured and tested, with the processor, memory, storage, OS image and any wireless modules fitted. The iEP-9042E moves to the H610 chipset with four LAN ports, and the iEPF-9040S-EW4 adds PCIe slots for a GPU.
