DFI CS631-Q370CRM Intel Coffee Lake Core ATX Industrial Motherboard with Q370 Chipset, Dual LAN and Seven Expansion Slots

A machine vision PC with a GPU, two frame grabbers and a motion card needs slots and lanes before it needs anything else. The CS631-Q370CRM is the Q370 build of the CS631 series, an ATX industrial motherboard with seven expansion slots, two Mini PCIe slots, M.2 NVMe storage and six COM ports on 8th and 9th Gen Intel Core.

Its LGA1151 socket takes Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 processors, from the four-core i3-8100T at 35 W to the six-core i7-8700 and i5-9500E at 65 W and the eight-core i7-9700TE at 35 W, plus dual-core Pentium G5400 and Celeron G4900. 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 two PCIe x16 slots, which run as one x16 or two x8 so two cards each get eight lanes, three PCIe x4 Gen3 slots, a PCIe x1 Gen3 slot and a PCI slot. Two full-size Mini PCIe slots take Wi-Fi or mSATA, and storage covers an M.2 PCIe x2 Gen3 NVMe socket and five SATA 3.0 ports with RAID. The rear panel has two USB 3.1 Gen 2, two USB 3.1 Gen 1 and two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, two GbE ports and a DB-9, and headers add five COM ports and 8-bit digital I/O.

The CS631-Q370CRM 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 and RoHS compliance. For Xeon E processors and ECC memory on the same layout, choose the CS631-C246CRM.
