NUC BOX-225H Overview
Retail counters, kiosks and signage screens tend to need several outputs, a wireless link and enough storage for content, in a unit small enough to hide behind the display. The ASRock Industrial NUC BOX-225H is the Core Ultra 5 225H model of the NUC Ultra 200 BOX Series series, a fanned NUC PC with Wi-Fi 6E fitted, quad display output and dual 2.5GbE.
The Core Ultra 5 225H is an Arrow Lake-H processor with 14 cores and Intel Arc 130T graphics. Two SO-DIMM sockets take dual-channel DDR5 6400 memory up to 96 GB. LAN1 supports Intel vPro Essentials, security uses firmware TPM (Intel PTT), and the NUC BOX-225H supports Windows 11 and Linux, with a watchdog timer that can recover a hung system without a site visit.
Displays connect through two HDMI 2.1 outputs at up to 4K, DisplayPort 2.1 over the USB4/Thunderbolt 4 port and DisplayPort 1.4a over a second USB-C port. Storage is two four-lane PCIe Gen4 M.2 M key sockets plus a SATA 6 Gb/s port for an internal drive, with Intel VMD RAID 0/1 across the M.2 pair. Three USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports, two Intel 2.5GbE ports (I226LM and I226V) and a headphone and microphone jack cover peripherals and networking, and a Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 module comes fitted in the M.2 E key socket.
Power is 12 to 24 V DC through a DC jack, with AT or ATX power-on modes and a 19 V, 90 W adapter supplied. The fanned NUC is rated from 0 °C to 40 °C, stores from -40 °C to 85 °C and handles 5 to 90% non-condensing humidity, and it carries CE and FCC marks. A VESA bracket is included. We supply the NUC BOX-225H configured and tested, with memory, storage and the Windows 11 or Linux image fitted alongside the Wi-Fi 6E module. The NUC BOX-255H steps up to a 16-core Core Ultra 7 255H with Arc 140T graphics, and the NUC BOX-325 moves to a Panther Lake Core Ultra 5 325 with Wi-Fi 7 and PCIe Gen5 storage.
