ASRock Industrial SBC-264J Intel N97 3.5″ SBC with Dual 2.5GbE, Triple Display and 9-36V DC Input

Networked signage and machine vision stations tend to need faster Ethernet and two matching HDMI screens rather than more serial ports. The ASRock Industrial SBC-264J is a 3.5″ SBC with an Intel N97, two 2.5GbE ports and two HDMI outputs, and it sits beside the SBC-263J in the same N97 range.

The Intel N97 is an Alder Lake-N quad-core processor running up to 3.6 GHz with a 12 W rating and Intel UHD graphics. One DDR5 4800 SO-DIMM socket takes up to 32 GB. Security is Intel PTT with a TPM header for an optional module. The SBC-264J runs Windows 11 and Linux.

Networking is two Realtek RTL8125BG 2.5GbE ports. Up to three displays run from two HDMI 2.0b outputs and LVDS or eDP. The rear carries three USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports and one USB 2.0 port, and internal headers add four USB 2.0, one RS-232/422/485 COM port, three RS-232 COM ports, four GPI and four GPO and an I2C header. An M.2 E key takes optional Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, an M.2 B key with SIM slot takes an optional 4G or 5G module, and storage is an M.2 M key socket with PCIe x1 Gen3, SATA3 and USB 2.0, plus one SATA3 port.

Power is 9 to 36 V DC, with a 12 V-only build option and AT and ATX modes. The board is rated from -20 °C to 70 °C operating and -40 °C to 85 °C storage, and carries CE and FCC marks. We supply the SBC-264J configured and tested, with memory, storage, the OS image and the heatsink fitted. The SBC-260J pairs the N97 with one 2.5GbE port, VGA and TPM 2.0, and the SBC-266J moves to an Intel N150 with six COM ports.
