It meets semi-industrial requirements such as 24/7 operation at an ambient temperature of up to 50 degrees Celsius at full-load operation. Up to 512 GB R-DIMM/LR-DIMM (ECC) RAM can be accommodated on the motherboard and SLI certification for Nvidia Quadro exists for the use of a graphics controller.

The motherboard with the designation Kontron D3598-G can now also be operated with the tenth generation of Intel® Core™ processors on the Intel® X299 workstation chipset, such as the Intel® Core™ X-Series i9-109xxX. It has up to 256 GB UDIMM (non-ECC) memory.

Both motherboards offer 2xPCI Express® x16, Intel® VROC™ support, Dual LAN and Mini-PCI Express®, HW Watchdog and USB 3.1 Gen2 Type C. As with all Kontron Extended Lifecycle motherboards, there is an extended lifecycle of at least three years.
