MS-CF20: Next-Gen ATX Motherboard with Sturdy Legacy Support with 15th Gen Intel Arrow Lake-S Processors
MS-CF20, a powerful ATX motherboard that supports the 15th generation Intel Arrow Lake-S Series CPUs and has the Intel W880 chipset. The MS-CF20, which was created to satisfy the demands of sophisticated computing applications, offers unmatched adaptability for both current and legacy systems by fusing support for next-generation CPUs with strong legacy capabilities.
Optimized for Power and Performance
The MS-CF20 utilises the most recent developments in Intel 15th Gen Arrow Lake-S technology to enable Intel Core U9/U7/U5, Pentium, and Celeron CPUs. Due to their higher core counts, instructions per clock, and energy efficiency, the new processors perform well in demanding and AI-driven applications.
The board’s four DDR5 UDIMM slots support ECC and non-ECC memory at up to 5600 MT/s and 192GB, providing unmatched performance for data-intensive applications.
Support for Advanced Graphics and Displays
Multitasking and visualisation are easy with the MS-CF20’s VGA, DisplayPort (DP), and HDMI displays. This makes it ideal for digital signs, control centres, and industrial automation that require high-resolution visuals on several screens.
Strong Network and Storage Connectivity
MS-CF20 offers four RJ-45 2.5GbE LAN ports for server-grade and data processing networking. The board supports versatile and secure data management with four SATA 3.0 connections, two M.2 M Key slots, and SATA RAID 0/1/5/10.
Extensive Expansion and I/O Interfaces
The MS-CF20 has the following features to meet a variety of application requirements:
- Accelerators, GPUs, and networks can be incorporated into one PCIe x16 (Gen 5) or two x8 slots and four x4 slots.
- Two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, three USB 2.0 ports, and eight USB 3.2 Gen 2 connectors connect fast peripherals.
- 10 COM ports (2 RS-485, 8 RS-232) with industrial-grade compatibility are available for serial communication.
- Extra I/O includes audio connectors, PS/2, GPIO, and inbuilt TPM 2.0 for increased security.
- Support for Legacy
- PS/2 Port: Frequently utilised in industrial and automation settings where dependability and low latency input are essential, this port supports legacy peripherals such as older keyboards and mice.
- PCI Slot: Maintains compatibility with existing PCI cards, enabling customers to include older expansion cards for automation, legacy hardware support, and industrial control systems.
- Widely utilised in control systems, factory automation, and applications needing long lifecycle maintenance, the VGA connector guarantees compatibility with outdated screens and projectors.
- Ten COM ports (one rear and nine inside) for serial communication: COM1/2 supports Ring/0V/5V/12V Autoflow (by default, Ring) for RS-232/422/485. The COM3-10 ensures versatile serial communication and industrial-grade compatibility by supporting RS-232 with 0V/5V/12V Autoflow.
Reliability and Industry Standards
The MS-CF20 has cutting-edge technologies including SMBus, I2C, PMBus, and Intel AMT 19.x for remote management and monitoring, all of which were designed with dependability in mind. Multiple system fan connections provide effective thermal management, and chassis intrusion detection adds an additional degree of physical security.
