NUCS BOX-255H Overview
Security monitoring stations and signage players often sit in tight cabinets where space is short, but several displays and local analytics still have to run. The ASRock Industrial NUCS BOX-255H is the Core Ultra 7 model in the NUCS Ultra 200 BOX Series series, a slim NUC PC that mounts on a VESA bracket behind a screen or inside an enclosure.
The Core Ultra 7 255H is an Arrow Lake-H processor with 16 cores, Intel Arc 140T graphics and a built-in NPU, so video, graphics and AI inference can share one NUC computer. Intel vPro Essentials is supported. Two SO-DIMM sockets take dual-channel DDR5 6400 up to 96 GB. Storage uses two M.2 M key sockets, one on x4 PCIe Gen4 and a second on x1 PCIe Gen4, with Intel VMD RAID 0/1. Windows 11 and Linux are supported, and security uses firmware TPM (Intel PTT).
The front panel 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. At the rear are two HDMI 2.1 outputs at up to 4K and 60 Hz, two more USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports and one Intel I226LM 2.5GbE port, for four displays in total. A Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 module ships fitted on the M.2 E key socket, and a watchdog timer helps unattended units recover.
Power is 12 to 24 V DC through a barrel jack, with AT or ATX power-on, and the NUCS BOX-255H ships with a 19 V 120 W adapter and a VESA bracket. It is rated from 0 °C to 40 °C and carries 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-225H uses a Core Ultra 5 225H with Arc 130T graphics, and the NUCS BOX-358H moves to Panther Lake with Wi-Fi 7 and DDR5 7200.
