Single-board computer systems within the 3.5″ form-factor have turn into extraordinarily widespread for embedded purposes involving a mixture of excessive efficiency necessities in addition to prolonged peripherals assist. Typical use-case situations embody digital signage, edge inferencing options, retail purposes, and IoT gateways. The necessities in these deployments name for processors and elements that may function in a large temperature vary. The chassis and cooling answer deal with different duties comparable to ruggedness and avoidance of shifting elements.
The Supermicro X13SRN-H-WOHS is a 3.5″ SBC with a soldered-down Intel Core i7-1370PE – a Raptor Lake-P embedded processor with vPro assist. It has loads of I/O assist, together with a SlimSAS PCIe enlargement slot. Supermicro additionally affords a ready-to-deploy answer utilizing the SBC within the actively-cooled SYS-E102-13R-H field PC. A majority of the motherboard ports are left un-used on this configuration, however the uncovered ones ought to suffice for the most typical use-cases.
The evaluation beneath takes an in depth take a look at the options and efficiency profile of the SYS-E102-13R-H, together with an analysis of the thermal answer.
Introduction and Product Impressions
Supermicro’s SYS-E102-13R-H field PC relies on the corporate’s X13SRN-H-WOHS 3.5″ SBC board. WOHS stands for ‘Without-Integrated-Heat-Sink’. The board can be obtainable in a model with an built-in warmth sink for customers needing entry to all the motherboard’s I/O options. The SYS-E102-13R-H field PC takes the WOHS board variant and locations it within the CSE-E102TF2 – a compact enclosure with a single 40 x 40 x 15 mm fan on one facet. The chassis offers assist for exterior WLAN antennae, together with cut-outs for all of the exterior I/O ports on the board. The entrance of the case has the facility button alone, with all the opposite options relegated to the rear.
Despite the SYS-E102-13R-H being tagged as an IoT SuperServer, the system doesn’t assist ECC reminiscence or in-band ECC. There is not any separate BMC, however that isn’t a shock for a machine based mostly on a 3.5″ SBC board. However, to make up for that, the SYS-E102-13R-H does assist vPro and distant administration capabilities use AMT. The system additionally helps Supermicro’s monitoring utility ‘SuperDoctor’ – this permits Nagios integration for centralized infrastructure monitoring.
The field PC forsakes most of the fascinating I/O capabilities of the interior board (such because the multitude of USB and SATA ports, in addition to the PCIe SlimSAS port that can be utilized for added enlargement). The consumer will get two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports (10 Gbps every). Two NBASE-T RJ-45 connectors (as much as 2.5 Gbps) can be found.
In addition to the principle unit, Supermicro provides a lockable 12V 7A (84W) DC energy adapter and mounting {hardware} for the system.
Access to the SSD and RAM slots are by way of a detachable panel on the underside saved in place with the help of 4 screws.
The underside has three M.2 slots – two for M.2 2280 SSDs, and one for a M.2 2230 WLAN / BT card. A nano-SIM slot can be simply accessible close to between the primary two M.2 slots.
Our evaluation system got here pre-installed with 2x 16GB DDR5 SO-DIMMs and a PCIe 3.zero x4 NVMe drive (regardless of the system supporting PCIe 4.zero x4 drives within the M.2 slots). The full specs of the evaluation pattern are offered within the desk beneath.
