DFI CS100-H310D Intel 8th and 9th Gen Core Industrial Mini-ITX Motherboard with H310 Chipset and Dual LAN

Plenty of embedded designs never need remote management: a kiosk, a machine HMI or an inspection station that runs one application and is serviced on site. The CS100-H310D is the H310 build in the DFI CS100 series of Mini-ITX motherboards, and it keeps the triple display, dual GbE and PCIe x16 slot of its siblings without management features those designs would not use.

The LGA1151 socket takes 8th and 9th Gen Intel Core i7, i5 and i3 processors in 65 W E and 35 W TE versions, the Core i7-8700 and i5-8500, and the two-core Pentium G5400 and Celeron G4900, from two to eight cores. Two DDR4 2400/2666 MHz SO-DIMMs hold up to 32 GB. Intel UHD Graphics 630 decodes HEVC, VP9 and H.264 in hardware and drives an internal dual-channel LVDS panel, VGA and two DP++ ports, three displays at once.

Two GbE ports run on Intel I219V and I210AT controllers. Four USB 3.1 Gen 1 and four USB 2.0 ports sit at the rear with an RS-232 port on a DB9 connector, and inside there is a second RS-232 header that can supply power, plus 8-bit DIO. Three SATA 3.0 ports take drives, and the PCIe x16 Gen3 slot suits a GPU, frame grabber or network card. A discrete TPM 2.0 is fitted as standard on this build.

The CS100-H310D runs from a standard ATX supply on 24-pin and 4-pin connectors, uses an active CPU cooler and operates from 0 to 60 °C, with CE, FCC, UKCA, KC and RoHS compliance. For Intel AMT, USB 3.1 Gen 2 and a Mini PCIe socket, choose CS100-Q370D; for Xeon E and ECC memory, choose CS100-C246D.
