ASRock Industrial iEP-6012E-001 NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 8GB Fanless AI Computer with 2x PoE and DIN Mount

A small camera installation, such as a loading bay or a single production line, often needs only two cameras and a computer that can power them without a separate PoE switch. The ASRock Industrial iEP-6012E-001 is the PoE model in the iEP-6012E series, a fanless AI computer with two IEEE 802.3af PoE ports on Intel I210AT controllers.

The iEP-6012E-001 runs the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano 8GB with 8 GB of 128-bit LPDDR5, rated at up to 40 sparse (20 dense) INT8 TOPS, under NVIDIA JetPack 5. Storage is an M.2 M-key 2280 socket for a PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe SSD plus a microSD slot, and TPM 2.0 is on board.

With the two PoE ports and two further Gigabit LAN ports there are four Ethernet connections in total, and the PoE output is 54 V at 802.3af on both ports or 802.3at on one. The unit also has one HDMI 1.4 output, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 and two USB 2.0 ports, RS-232 and RS-232/422/485, and DB15 connectors for four digital inputs, four digital outputs, CAN bus, I2C and SPI. Power is 12 to 36 V DC with 80 V surge protection and a locking USB Type-C PD 20 V backup input.

ASRock Industrial rates the iEP-6012E-001 from -25 °C to 60 °C with a wide temperature NVMe SSD, with 100 G operating shock and 5 Grms vibration. The 68 mm wide, 1.6 kg case mounts vertically on a DIN rail or a wall. The iEP-6010E-001 is the PoE equivalent with the Jetson Orin NX 16GB, for heavier models than this fanless AI computer is sized for.
