DFI CS332-Q370 Intel Coffee Lake Core Micro-ATX Industrial Motherboard with Q370 Chipset, Quad LAN and Four Expansion Slots

An inspection station on a packing line often talks to cameras on one network, the line controller on another and the MES on a third. The CS332-Q370 is the Q370 build of the CS332 series, a Micro-ATX industrial motherboard with two Intel GbE ports as standard and a four-port build to order, alongside dual M.2 sockets and TPM 2.0.

Its LGA1151 socket takes 8th and 9th Gen Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 processors, from the four-core i3-8100 to the six-core i5-9500E and the eight-core i7-9700E and i7-9700TE, plus dual-core Pentium G5400 and Celeron G4900 for lighter duties, with DFI rating the socket up to 95 W. Four DDR4 2666 MHz DIMM slots take up to 128 GB of non-ECC memory. Intel UHD Graphics drives VGA and two DP++ outputs as three independent displays, and Intel AMT on the I219LM port works with Core i5 and i7.

Expansion is a PCIe x16 Gen3 slot, two PCIe x4 Gen3 slots, a PCI slot and a full-size Mini PCIe slot. Storage covers an M.2 M-key socket for PCIe x4 Gen3 NVMe SSDs and four SATA 3.0 ports with RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10, and an M.2 E-key socket takes Wi-Fi. The rear panel has two USB 3.2 Gen 1 and two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, the GbE ports and an RS-232/422/485 DB-9, and headers add two USB 3.2 Gen 1, four USB 2.0, three RS-232 ports and 8-bit digital I/O.

The CS332-Q370 runs from a standard ATX supply over 24-pin and 8-pin connectors, with an active CPU cooler, from 0 to 60 °C, and carries CE, FCC, RoHS and UL compliance. For ECC memory and four rear USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports on the same layout, choose the CS332-C246.
