Introduction 

This user guide describes the KBox B-201-CFL made by Kontron and focuses on describing the KBox B-201-CFL’s 
special features. New users are recommended to study the installation instructions within this user guide before 
switching on the power. 

The KBox B-201-CFL is a small form factor high performance Box PC family with 8th / 9th Gen. Intel Core™ platforms 
and mini ITX mainboard variants ‘Smart’ and ‘Value’, both offering a wide variety of external interfaces on the rear 
panel. System expansion is achieved internally with a M.2 Key M socket and mPCIe full size/half size socket, and 
externally with a  2.5” SSD drive bay. A external 12 VDC AC/DC power supply powers the standard KBox B-201-CFL and 
for industrial applications a 24 VDC power supply variant is available. All product variants are available in a robust 
metal chassis that guarantees flexibility in multiple user applications such as behind a monitor, horizontal and 
vertical wall mounting, or as a movable or fixed desktop version.
