# ZED Box 2

Congratulations on being the owner of a brand-new [ZED Box 2](https://www.stereolabs.com/store/products/zed-box-2) embedded PC!

![ZED Box 2](/_fern-files/_img/579c82d274a36264e0f3fa361fe2f39bc2dc4e32fb250f7032cec2ca3fc6b661.webp)

StereoLabs' [ZED Box 2](https://www.stereolabs.com/store/products/zed-box-2) is a compact, rugged edge AI computer powered by [NVIDIA® Jetson™ Orin™ NX](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/autonomous-machines/embedded-systems/jetson-orin/) modules with native support for NVIDIA® **Super Mode**. It is designed for large-scale, multi-camera vision and robotics deployments: it aggregates up to **8 [GMSL2](/docs/products/embedded/zed-link-capture-card/gmsl2#what-is-gmsl2) cameras**, and its CAN, Ethernet, and digital I/O interfaces integrate it directly into robotic, automotive, and industrial automation systems.

## Main features

The **ZED Box 2** is a ready-to-use edge AI system: an **NVIDIA® Jetson™ Orin™ NX** compute module running in Super Mode, **8 native [GMSL2](/docs/products/embedded/zed-link-capture-card/gmsl2#what-is-gmsl2) camera inputs**, and industrial-grade I/O in a passively cooled aluminum enclosure, with an optional fan.

### Compute module

The ZED Box 2 is available with two [NVIDIA® Jetson™ Orin™ NX 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:

**Super Mode** raises the maximum GPU and DLA frequencies of the Orin NX module, delivering up to 67% more AI performance than the standard power modes. Read the [Power Modes](/docs/products/embedded/zed-box-series/zed-box-2/power-modes) guide to select the mode that fits your application.

### GMSL2 camera connectivity

**[GMSL2](/docs/products/embedded/zed-link-capture-card/gmsl2#what-is-gmsl2)** connectivity is a **standard feature** of the ZED Box 2. It enables high-speed, low-latency, hardware-synchronized data transfer between the processing unit and your **ZED GMSL2 cameras**.

* **8 [GMSL2](/docs/products/embedded/zed-link-capture-card/gmsl2#what-is-gmsl2) ports** on two Quad FAKRA-Z connectors, 4 ports each.
* Compatible with all the **ZED X** and **ZED X One** camera models: ZED X, ZED X Mini, ZED X Nano, ZED X One GS, ZED X One S, and ZED X One 4K.
* Up to 8 stereo cameras at HD1200 30 FPS, or 4 at HD1200 60 FPS; up to 8 monocular cameras at HD1200 60 FPS; up to 4 ZED X One 4K at 4K 15 FPS.
* The **GMSL2 driver is pre-installed**. Connect the cameras before powering on the device: GMSL2 cameras are not hot-pluggable.

The [Using GMSL](/docs/products/embedded/zed-box-series/zed-box-2/using-gmsl) guide describes the supported multi-camera configurations, and how to synchronize the cameras with each other and with other devices.

### Connectivity

The connection ports are available on the front and rear panels, described in the [Connectivity guide](/docs/products/embedded/zed-box-series/zed-box-2/connectivity):

* 2x Quad [GMSL2](/docs/products/embedded/zed-link-capture-card/gmsl2#what-is-gmsl2) FAKRA-Z camera connectors
* 2x Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 (10/100/1000 Base-T)
* 2x CAN bus (DB9 connectors)
* 1x Sync + IO connector (DB9) for camera frame-sync trigger input/output and 1x configurable digital I/O
* 2x USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A
* 1x HDMI 2.1
* 1x Micro USB 2.0 Type-B for system flashing, OTG, and [serial console](/docs/products/embedded/zed-box-series/zed-box-2/serial-console) access
* **WiFi 6** (Intel AX210 module) with 2x external antennas
* 1x 12V fan power header
* Recovery and Reset buttons, power LED

### Storage memory

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

* 256 GB
* 1 TB
* 2 TB

### Power supply

The ZED Box 2 is powered through a screwable 2-pin terminal block DC input, accepting **10V to 32V**, with a maximum power consumption of **80W** (55W typical). The wide input range allows direct connection to 12V and 24V vehicle and robot power rails. See the [Connectivity guide](/docs/products/embedded/zed-box-series/zed-box-2/connectivity#power-input) for the pinout.

### Cooling

The ZED Box 2 features a **passively cooled aluminum enclosure** with an integrated heatsink and no moving parts. For sustained high-power workloads, an **optional fan kit** can be mounted on the heatsink and connected to the 12V fan header, as described in the [installation guide](/docs/products/embedded/zed-box-series/zed-box-2/installation#install-the-optional-fan).

### Software

The ZED Box 2 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. The [flashing guide](/docs/products/embedded/zed-box-series/zed-box-2/reset-update), with updated flash scripts, will be available soon.
