ASRock Industrial SBC-372 3.5″ SBC with LGA 1700 Socket for Alder Lake-PS Core, DDR5 and Quad Display

Vision systems and analytics boxes sometimes need more processor headroom than a low-power embedded part gives, yet the enclosure is sized for a 3.5 inch board. The SBC-372 is ASRock Industrial’s 3.5 inch SBC with an LGA 1700 socket for Intel Alder Lake-PS Core processors up to 45 W, so the processor can be matched to the workload within a 147 x 102 mm footprint.

Memory is one 262-pin DDR5-4800 SO-DIMM socket for up to 32 GB. Intel Iris Xe Graphics drives up to four displays from HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4a, a DP 1.4a output over the USB-C port and a shared LVDS or eDP connector. HDMI and DisplayPort each reach 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz, dual-channel 24-bit LVDS reaches 1920 x 1200 and eDP reaches 1920 x 1080, so a built-in panel and external monitors can run together on one board.

I/O covers two 2.5GbE ports on Intel I225LM controllers, with AMT and vPro on LAN1 for remote management, four USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports and one USB 3.2 Gen2x2 (20 Gbps) Type-C port at the rear, plus four USB 2.0 on internal headers. COM1 and COM2 are RS-232/422/485, and 4 GPI plus 4 GPO handle sensors and relays. An M.2 Key M on PCIe Gen4 x4 takes a fast SSD, a SATA3 port with a SATA power output adds a second drive and an M.2 Key E 2230 takes wireless. The SBC-371P carries a Core i7-1365UE with a PCIe x1 slot and 4G/5G M.2, and the SBC-370P is its 12th Gen counterpart.

Power is 12 to 28 V DC on a 4-pin wafer connector, with AT and ATX power-on modes. The SBC-372 operates from 0 to 70 °C and can be stored from -40 to 85 °C at 5 to 90% humidity. TPM 2.0 is onboard, a separate 32 Mbit secure flash sits beside the 256 Mbit BIOS, and a watchdog timer covers 0 to 255 seconds. The board, also called a 3.5 inch motherboard, is 29.5 mm tall.
