# ZED Box Orin

Congratulations on being the owner of a brand-new [ZED Box](https://www.stereolabs.com/series/zed-box) embedded PC!

![ZED Box Orin NX](/_fern-img/f5e547d680e6eb7bfd6aa929898437dea09bb9a9a0f726950155ea561cf77ebd.webp)

StereoLabs' [ZED Box Orin](https://www.stereolabs.com/zed-box/) is a compact gateway powered by [NVIDIA® Jetson™](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/autonomous-machines/embedded-systems/) for challenging AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) in mobile and field situations. It is designed to bring spatial perception and understanding at the edge and aggregate, process, and analyze data from 3D sensors and equipment.

## Main features

The **ZED Box Orin** is a ready-to-use edge AI system: an **NVIDIA® Jetson™** compute module, native **[GMSL2](/docs/products/embedded/zed-link-capture-card/gmsl2#what-is-gmsl2)** camera connectivity, and industrial-grade I/O in a compact, fanless enclosure with passive heat dissipation.

### Compute module

The ZED Box Orin is available with different [NVIDIA® Jetson™ compute modules](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/autonomous-machines/embedded-systems/jetson-orin/), so you can match the computing power to the requirements of your application:

* NVIDIA® Jetson™ Orin Nano 8 GB - 40 TOPS
* NVIDIA® Jetson™ Orin NX 8 GB - 70 TOPS
* NVIDIA® Jetson™ Orin NX 16 GB - 100 TOPS

### GMSL2 camera connectivity

**[GMSL2](/docs/products/embedded/zed-link-capture-card/gmsl2#what-is-gmsl2)** connectivity is a **standard feature** of the ZED Box Orin. It enables high-speed, low-latency data transfer between the processing unit and your **ZED [GMSL2](/docs/products/embedded/zed-link-capture-card/gmsl2#what-is-gmsl2) cameras**, making it an ideal choice for **industrial grade applications**.

* **4 [GMSL2](/docs/products/embedded/zed-link-capture-card/gmsl2#what-is-gmsl2) ports** on a single 4-wire FAKRA connector, organized in 2 groups: **A** (ports #0 and #1) and **B** (ports #2 and #3).
* Compatible with **ZED X**, **ZED X Mini**, **ZED X Nano**, **ZED X One GS**, **ZED X One S**, and **ZED X One 4K** cameras.
* The **GMSL2 driver is pre-installed**. Connect the cameras before powering on the device; GMSL2 cameras are not hot-pluggable, so any change requires a reboot or a restart of the ZED X daemon.

The [GMSL2](/docs/products/embedded/zed-box-orin/using-gmsl/) guide provides detailed information on how to use GMSL with the ZED Box Orin, including instructions on how to install the GMSL driver and configure multi-camera setups.

### Connectivity

All the connection ports are available on the front panel, described in the [installation guide](/docs/products/embedded/zed-box-orin/installation#connection-panel):

* 1x [GMSL2](/docs/products/embedded/zed-link-capture-card/gmsl2#what-is-gmsl2) 4-wire FAKRA camera connector
* 1x 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet RJ45 with **PoE+** support
* 3x USB 3.0 Type-A
* 1x HDMI
* 1x Micro USB2.0 Type-B for system flashing, OTG, and [serial console](/docs/products/embedded/zed-box-orin/serial-console) access
* **WiFi** module with external antenna
* 1x external antenna connector for the [GNSS option](#gnss-option)

### Storage memory

An internal **NVMe SSD** mounted on an M.2 socket hosts the operating system and your data. Three capacities are available:

* 256 GB
* 1 TB
* 2 TB

### Power supply

The ZED Box Orin can be powered in two ways:

* **DC barrel jack** (12V to 19V, up to 60W), with the provided power supply: supports all the [power modes](/docs/products/embedded/zed-box-orin/power-modes) of the Jetson module.
* **PoE+**, through a PoE+-enabled network switch: up to **25.5W** for the whole system.

### Software

The ZED Box Orin is shipped with a **pre-configured operating system**, including the NVIDIA® JetPack™ software stack, the **ZED SDK**, and the **GMSL2 drivers**, so it is operational out of the box. Flashing is only required to change the JetPack version or to recover the device, as described in the [flashing guide](/docs/products/embedded/zed-box-orin/reset-update).

## Options

In addition to the features above, the **ZED Box Orin** can be configured with the following **options**, based on your specific needs and use cases.

### GNSS Option

With the **GNSS** option, users can take advantage of the ZED Box Orin's advanced processing capabilities to create AI systems that can operate with **high precision** and **accuracy**, even in challenging environments.

You can get started with setting up the GNSS module with our guide [Using GNSS with ZED Box](/docs/products/embedded/zed-box-orin/using-gnss). The guide includes step-by-step instructions on how to **enable the GNSS module** on the ZED Box Orin and **configure** it for optimal performance.
