ROCK 5 ITX Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Here we can see that the PoE module is not soldered in and connects using 8 pins which is quite nice. If you choose to power the ROCK 5 ITX via a PoE switch (the ROCK 5 ITX doesn’t provide PoE power to another device) you can expect to get 25W of power budget for the system itself and any peripherals/devices you plan to power from the boards connectors.
(my summary of that quoted section:)
So, you can power the board with PoE, which will give the board and any connected devices 25W of power budget. Without looking at the specs of the CPU/GPU, that's probably enough to run at least one m.2 drive and a couple USB peripherals?
