ASRock Industrial iEPF-9012S-EY4 Intel Core i3/i5/i7/i9 Alder Lake Industrial GPU Computer with PCIe x16 and Dual PoE

A single-GPU inference or inspection station rarely needs four expansion slots, but it still needs a slot with proper power, a case that can cool the card and the I/O of an industrial PC. The ASRock Industrial iEPF-9012S-EY4 is an industrial GPU computer for that brief, with one PCIe Gen4 x16 slot that takes a graphics card up to 275 mm long.

It runs 12th Gen Intel Core, Pentium or Celeron processors in an LGA 1700 socket on the Intel H610 chipset, with two DDR4 2933 SO-DIMM sockets for up to 64 GB. Intel UHD graphics drives DisplayPort 1.4a and HDMI 2.0b at up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz, plus VGA, leaving the discrete card for compute. Windows 10 and Linux are supported, with Intel TCC and TSN under Yocto.

The x16 slot on the iEPF-9012S-EY4 supplies up to 180 W on the default power cable, or 255 W with the optional VGA module. Four Intel 2.5GbE ports include two with IEEE 802.3af PoE at up to 15.4 W per port. Two USB 3.2 Gen2, two USB 3.2 Gen1 and two USB 2.0 ports, four RS-232/422/485 and two RS-232 ports and 8 DI/8 DO cover field devices. Storage is four SATA3 ports behind four 2.5-inch trays plus an optional CFast socket, and two mini PCIe slots, M.2 Key B and Key E sockets and two nano SIM slots cover 4G, 5G and Wi-Fi.

Power is 9 to 36 V DC with 13-mode ignition control, a remote power switch and 80 V surge, OVP, UVP, OCP and reverse protection. With a 35 W processor this industrial GPU computer operates from -40 °C to 75 °C, or -40 °C to 55 °C with 46 W to 65 W processors, with its internal fan running. ASRock Industrial rates the iEPF-9012S-EY4 for 50 G shock and 5 Grms vibration, and it meets CE and FCC Class A in a 202 x 290 x 209.3 mm desk-mount case. For more slots and 128 GB of memory, the iEPF-9010S-EY4 is the four-slot R680E model.
