ASRock Industrial IMB-1011J-WV Intel N97 Mini-ITX Embedded Motherboard with Dual GbE, Triple Display and 9-28V DC

Some systems need a camera wired straight to the board, a VGA screen kept from an older install and a row of serial devices, all at once. The ASRock Industrial IMB-1011J-WV is a Mini-ITX embedded motherboard on the Intel N97 (Alder Lake-N) that covers that mix, with a MIPI CSI-2 camera header, VGA output and six COM ports, and it takes either an ATX supply or 9 to 28 V DC.

The N97 has four cores at up to 3.6 GHz within a 12 W rating, with Intel UHD Graphics. One DDR5 SO-DIMM socket runs at 4800 MHz and takes up to 32 GB. Windows 11 and Linux are supported, so the IMB-1011J-WV can run a standard image for factory, signage or simple vision software.

The MIPI CSI-2 header uses a 22-pin FPC connector with four data lanes. Displays run from two HDMI 2.0b outputs, a VGA port and an LVDS or eDP connector, with up to three screens at once. Networking is two Realtek RTL8111H Gigabit ports. USB covers two USB 3.2 Gen 2 and two USB 2.0 on the rear, one vertical USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A inside and two USB 2.0 on a header. Serial I/O is COM1 RS-232/422/485 and COM2 and COM3 RS-232 on rear DB9 connectors, with COM4 to COM6 RS-232 on internal headers and four GPI and four GPO. A PCIe x1 Gen3 slot, an M.2 Key M socket for a PCIe or SATA SSD, one SATA3 port and an M.2 Key E socket for an optional Wi-Fi module handle expansion.

Power is a 24+4-pin ATX supply or 9 to 28 V DC on the four-pin connector, with AT and ATX power-on modes. The board is rated from -20 °C to 70 °C operating and -40 °C to 85 °C storage, carries CE and FCC marks and has a TPM header and Intel PTT. We supply the IMB-1011J-WV configured and tested, with memory, storage and the OS image fitted. The IMB-1012J-WV trades VGA and MIPI for separate LVDS and eDP connectors, and the IMB-1015J moves to an N150 with dual 2.5GbE.
