ASRock Industrial IMB-1251P-WV Intel Core Ultra X7 358H Industrial Mini-ITX Motherboard with Arc B390, ECC and 12-28V DC

Edge AI projects often need more graphics and inference headroom than a low-power board gives, but still have to fit a standard Mini-ITX enclosure. The ASRock Industrial IMB-1251P-WV is the Core Ultra X7 358H model in the IMB-1251-WV series, moving on from the 12th Gen Core i7-1265UE in the IMB-1234P to a current Panther Lake-H processor.

The Core Ultra X7 358H has 16 cores (four Performance, eight Efficient and four Low Power Efficient), a 25 W rating, Intel Arc B390 graphics and a built-in NPU, with AI performance rated at 50 TOPS. Two DDR5 SO-DIMM sockets run dual-channel at 7200 MHz and take up to 128 GB, and the processor supports Intel In-Band ECC. That lets the IMB-1251P-WV run video analytics and the application on one board. Windows 11 and Linux are supported.

Up to four screens run from two HDMI 2.1 outputs at up to 8K at 60 Hz, two USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C ports with DisplayPort 1.4a and an LVDS or eDP connector. Networking pairs an Intel I219LM Gigabit port with a Realtek RTL8125BG 2.5GbE port. Rear USB adds one USB 3.2 Gen 2 and three USB 3.2 Gen 1, plus two internal USB 2.0. Storage is two M.2 Key M sockets, one on PCIe x4 Gen5 and one on PCIe x4 Gen4, plus two SATA3 ports with Intel VMD RAID 0 and 1. An M.2 Key E socket takes an optional Wi-Fi module, and an M.2 Key B socket with a SIM slot takes an optional 4G or 5G module. Three internal RS-232/422/485 COM ports and four GPI and four GPO complete the I/O.

Power is 12 to 28 V DC through a four-pin cable or the rear DC jack, with AT and ATX power-on modes. The board is rated from -20 °C to 70 °C operating, carries CE and FCC marks, and has a TPM header, Intel PTT and a watchdog timer. We supply the IMB-1251P-WV configured and tested, with memory, NVMe storage, any wireless modules and the OS image fitted. The IMB-1251E-WV uses a Core Ultra 5 325 for lighter workloads.
