IMB-1246 Overview
Digital signage players and kiosks often need a current processor, strong graphics and a built-in panel connector more than remote management. The ASRock Industrial IMB-1246 is an H810 Mini-ITX SBC for Arrow Lake-S Core Ultra processors, pairing Thunderbolt 4 with 2.5GbE and an LVDS or eDP connector. It can also suit machine control and test equipment builds.
The LGA1851 socket takes Core Ultra 200S processors up to 65 W, with Intel Xe LPG graphics. Two DDR5 sockets run at 6400 MHz with CSO-DIMM or 5600 MHz with SO-DIMM and take up to 128 GB. Windows 11 and Linux are supported, and the IMB-1246 drives up to three displays at once.
Rear I/O covers two HDMI 2.1 outputs, a USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 Type-C port with DisplayPort 2.1, two USB 3.2 Gen2, one USB 3.2 Gen1 and two USB 2.0 ports, audio, and COM1 for RS-232/422/485 with COM3 for RS-232. Networking is a Realtek RTL8125BG 2.5GbE port and an Intel I219V 1GbE port. Inside are two more RS-232 ports, 4x GPI and 4x GPO, LVDS or eDP, a vertical USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A port and two USB 2.0. A PCIe x16 Gen5 slot takes an add-in card, an M.2 M key socket runs NVMe storage at PCIe Gen4 x4, two SATA3 ports add drives and an M.2 E key socket takes an optional Wi-Fi module.
Power is ATX 24+4-pin in AT or ATX mode, and TPM is by header or Intel PTT. The board is rated from -20 °C to 70 °C and carries CE and FCC marks. We supply the IMB-1246 with the processor, memory and storage fitted and tested, on its own or built into a complete system. The IMB-1247 adds Q870 with vPro and quad display, and the IMB-1248-WV brings H810 to a slim board with 12 to 28 V DC input.
