Kontron presents new AMD-based motherboard D3714-V/R mSTX including suitable housing

Kontron, Ismaning, 24.11.2021 - Kontron, a globally leading provider of IoT/Embedded Computing Technology (ECT), is expanding its industrial motherboard portfolio with the D3714-V/R mSTX. This is the first complete redesign of a motherboard at Kontron since acquiring the Industrial Mainboard division from Fujitsu. The new product, in the space-saving Mini-STX format, supports up to four independent displays in 4K resolution. It is suitable for applications such as Digital Signage, Kiosks,
medical displays, thin clients, and ultra-compact industrial PCs. For the two D3714-R versions, a matching SMARTCASE™ with the S511 enclosure kit is available for versatile use.

The new motherboard is based on the AMD Ryzen™ Embedded V1000 and R1000 platforms, including AMD Vega™ graphics, covering a wide range of applications with a single system design. It features up to three DisplayPorts (V1.4, including DP++ support) and one HDMI port (V2.0b). It also offers Dual Channel LVDS (24Bit), an Embedded DisplayPort V1.3 (4K), onboard 8-bit GPIO & HD Audio. Additional interfaces include USB 2.0 and USB 3.1 (Gen1/Gen2) as well as SATA III. An M.2 SSD interface (Key-M: 2230/2242/2280) allows connection of SSD storage. Additionally, the motherboard supports M.2 WLAN/Bluetooth (Key-E: 2230); the AMD-integrated TPM V2.0 provides a high security standard for Trusted Computing.

Depending on the graphics performance requirements, three different motherboard versions are available. The V2 variant is equipped with the AMD processor V1605B (Quad Core 2.0/3.6 GHz), GPU @ 1.1 GHz, and eight Compute Units, supporting four displays. The R2 variant is based on an AMD Embedded R1305G (Dual Core 1.5/2.8 GHz), GPU @ 1.0 GHz, three Compute Units, and supports three displays. The R1 version uses an AMD R1102G (Dual-Core 1.2/2.6 GHz), GPU @ 1.0 GHz, also with three Compute Units, and supports two displays.

Matching the R1 and R2 motherboard variants, the SMARTCASE™ S511 enclosure kit is also available, suitable for operation at temperatures from -10 °C to +40 °C. The ultra-compact case, measuring 36 x 147 x 165 mm, is equipped with USB ports at the front and rear and can be used both horizontally and vertically.
