CW-S4 Motherboard Layout and Internal Design
Explore the internal motherboard layout of the CW-S4, including the processor cooling area, memory slots, storage interfaces, network components and expansion connections. The integrated design provides a compact hardware platform for networking, virtualization and embedded computing applications.
CW-S4 PCIe Expansion and Dual 10GbE Upgrade
The CW-S4 supports optional PCIe hardware expansion for users who require additional high-speed network connectivity. With a compatible PCIe x8 riser board, the system can be configured with an Intel 82599ES dual-port 10GbE SFP+ network card for NAS connections, virtualization networks, high-speed uplinks and advanced routing applications.
Optional 75 × 70 × 8 mm CPU Cooling Fan for CW-S4
For sustained workloads or installations with limited airflow, the CW-S4 can be paired with an optional 75 × 70 × 8 mm CPU cooling fan. The compact fan helps move heat away from the processor area, supporting more consistent operating temperatures during multitasking, virtualization, routing and other continuous workloads.
Compact Cooling for Continuous Workloads
The low-profile fan is designed for compatible CWWK block chassis systems. It provides additional airflow around the CPU cooling area without requiring a full-size desktop cooling assembly.
- Fan Dimensions 75 × 70 × 8 mm
- Compatible Model CWWK CW-S4
- Cooling Type Optional Active Cooling
- Recommended For Sustained CPU Workloads
Note: The CPU cooling fan is an optional accessory and may not be included with every CW-S4 configuration. Check the selected package contents before placing an order.
CW-S4 VESA Mounting Support for Flexible Installation
The CW-S4 supports compatible VESA mounting, allowing the system to be installed behind a monitor or on another suitable mounting surface. This space-saving installation option helps keep desks and work areas organized while maintaining convenient access to the system interfaces.
Note: The VESA bracket may be an optional accessory and may not be included with every CW-S4 package. Check the selected configuration and package contents before ordering.
