Whether it is an ordinary computer or an industrial computer, the core components are motherboards, and industrial motherboards have a wider range of applications, more complex application environments, and higher requirements for their functionality, compatibility and reliability.
What are the requirements for the use of industrial motherboards?
Take a look at what Shenzhen industrial motherboard manufacturers say:
First, functional requirements.
(1) Before the industrial motherboard leaves the factory, extensive compatibility and stability tests should be completed, including aging tests, environmental compatibility tests and software security tests to ensure that each industrial motherboard component can run in a wide range of temperature, humidity, vibration, dust and other environments for a long time and without failure.
(2) The input and output interfaces are abundant, and can be externally connected with various devices. Common interfaces for industrial motherboards include serial ports, USB, LAN, LVDS, etc. Expansion slots include PCI, PCIE, Micro PCIE, etc. It is highly scalable. At the same time, it has a variety of display interfaces, such as VGA, HDMI, DP, DVI, LPT, etc.

(3) In addition to providing remote connection management functions, industrial motherboards can also realize remote unattended automatic power on and off functions. In abnormal situations such as shutdown, automatic restart can be realized to ensure the high stability of industrial computers.
Second, the design requirements of the product.
Industrial motherboards need to work continuously for a long time, requiring industrial motherboards to have special designs in terms of high and low temperature resistance, vibration resistance, and electromagnetic interference resistance. In addition, the selection of industrial motherboard materials requires long-term, high-demand part verification to ensure that high reliability requirements are met under complex operating conditions.
Third, size and specification requirements.
In order to adapt to different industrial sites, industrial computer manufacturers are required to provide industrial motherboards with different structures, such as X86 structure and ARM structure; Different sizes of industrial motherboards, including 2.5-inch, 3.5-inch, 5.25-inch, ATX, micro-ATX and other specifications; Highly integrated industrial motherboard to meet the requirements of the use environment and operational performance.
In addition to the above requirements introduced to you, the industrial motherboard also requires a working temperature of -40 °C ~ 80 °C. In order to ensure that industrial computers can continue to work under high temperature conditions, industrial computer manufacturers need to carry out special design and treatment for heat dissipation and insulation of industrial motherboards, such as installing all-aluminum shells and high-power fans on industrial motherboards, and special treatment of heat dissipation components such as central processing units, north-south bridges, and hard disks. Nowadays, everyone knows what needs industrial motherboards should meet!
