ASRock Industrial IMB-1244-WV Intel Bartlett Lake-S and 12th to 14th Gen Core Q670 Mini-ITX Embedded Motherboard with 12-28V DC Input and vPro

Kiosks, signage players and machine panels often run from a DC rail and drive a built-in display, and are easier to look after when the board can be reached remotely. The ASRock Industrial IMB-1244-WV is a Q670 Mini-ITX embedded motherboard for that kind of build, taking Intel Core Series 2 (Bartlett Lake-S) and 14th, 13th and 12th Gen Core processors up to 65 W in an LGA1700 socket, with Intel vPro and AMT for remote management.

Two DDR5 SO-DIMM sockets take non-ECC memory at 4800 or 5600 MHz, up to 96 GB. Storage comes from two M.2 Key M sockets at PCIe Gen4 x4, one of which also carries SATA, and two SATA 6Gb/s ports, with Intel VMD RAID 0 and 1. A right-angle PCIe x16 Gen4 slot supports a riser card split as x8/x8, so cards can sit flat in a low-profile enclosure. Windows 11 and Linux are supported. For ECC memory, the W680 IMB-X1244-WV keeps the same layout.

The rear panel carries two HDMI 2.0b ports, one DisplayPort 1.4a, four USB 3.2 Gen2 ports, an Intel I226V 2.5GbE port, an Intel I219LM GbE port with vPro, and line-in and line-out audio. Inside, LVDS and eDP 1.4b connectors drive an integrated panel, for up to four displays in total. Headers add two USB 3.2 Gen1 and four USB 2.0 ports, three COM ports (two RS-232/422/485, one RS-232), four GPI and four GPO lines and a watchdog. M.2 Key E takes an optional Wi-Fi module, and M.2 Key B with a SIM socket takes an optional 4G or 5G module.

Power is 12 to 28 V DC through a four-pin wafer connector, in AT or ATX mode. The IMB-1244-WV is rated from -20 °C to 70 °C in operation and -40 °C to 85 °C in storage, carries CE and FCC marks and has an onboard TPM 2.0. We supply it with the processor, memory and storage fitted and tested, on its own or built into a complete system. For four COM ports, four SATA ports and a PCIe Gen5 slot on the same chipset, see the IMB-1238.
