ASRock Industrial NUCS BOX-325 Intel Panther Lake Core Ultra 5 325 Slim NUC Mini PC with USB4 and 2.5GbE

Retail kiosks, self-service points and automation terminals usually need dependable display output and current connectivity more than peak processor speed. The ASRock Industrial NUCS BOX-325 is the Core Ultra 5 model in the NUCS Ultra 300 BOX Series series, a slim NUC mini PC that fits behind a screen or inside a kiosk on its VESA bracket.

The Core Ultra 5 325 is a Panther Lake-H processor with eight cores, four performance and four low-power efficient, plus Intel Graphics (Xe3) and a built-in NPU for lighter AI inference. Two SO-DIMM sockets take DDR5 6400 up to 128 GB, with In-Band ECC supported. Two M.2 M key sockets take NVMe storage, one on x4 PCIe Gen5 and one on x4 PCIe Gen4, with Intel VMD RAID 0/1 for mirroring. Windows 11 and Linux are supported, and security uses firmware TPM (Intel PTT).

On the front, the NUCS BOX-325 has a USB4/Thunderbolt 4 port with DisplayPort 2.1, a USB-C port with DisplayPort 1.4a, two USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports and a headphone and mic jack. The rear carries two HDMI 2.1 outputs up to 8K at 60 Hz, two further USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports and one Intel I226LM 2.5GbE port, so four displays can run at once. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 ship fitted on the M.2 E key socket, and a watchdog timer can restart the system if software stalls.

Power is 12 to 24 V DC through a barrel jack with AT or ATX power-on, and a 19 V 120 W adapter and VESA bracket come in the box. Operating range is 0 °C to 40 °C, with CE and FCC marks. We supply it configured and tested, with memory, NVMe storage and the Windows 11 or Linux image fitted. The NUCS BOX-358H moves to a Core Ultra X7 358H with Arc B390 graphics and DDR5 7200, and the NUC BOX-325 pairs the same processor with two 2.5GbE ports in the standard NUC BOX chassis.
