DSBOX-N2-XX-P Overview
Pilot lines, test benches and attended equipment need edge AI that an operator can power up and down on site, at a cost that suits wide roll-out. Forecr covers that with the DSBOX-N2-XX-P, a fanless industrial box PC in the DSBOX-N2 series that adds a front power button to the NVIDIA Jetson Nano design while keeping the full industrial I/O set of its sibling.
The Jetson Nano pairs a quad-core Arm Cortex-A57 processor with an NVIDIA Maxwell GPU of 128 CUDA cores and 4 GB of 64-bit LPDDR4 memory. It is AI ready for IIoT and Industry 4.0 applications and processes up to 8 Full-HD video streams with the DeepStream SDK, all while drawing under 10 W. The DSBOX-N2-XX-P runs Ubuntu Linux 18.04.
Connectivity includes one Gigabit Ethernet port, two USB 3.1 Type-A ports, a software-configurable RS-232/422/485 port, two digital inputs and three digital outputs, plus one HDMI 2.0 output at up to 3840 x 2160 for 4K display. Storage combines 16 GB of eMMC 5.1 flash, a MicroSD slot and an M.2 Key-M SSD socket, while M.2 Key-E and Key-B sockets take WiFi, Bluetooth, LTE or 5G modules, with a SIM slot for the cellular module on Key-B. Power arrives on a 9-28 VDC input.
Forecr rates the DSBOX-N2-XX-P from -25°C to +65°C ambient, and its fanless 110 x 130 x 60 mm enclosure is designed for 24/7 operation in size and power constrained systems. As an industrial box PC for cost-effective edge analytics, it matches the DSBOX-N2-AA in every respect except the power button, so attended and unattended sites can run the same software image.

Official Forecr UK Distributor
Things Embedded is an official Forecr UK distributor, and the DSBOX-N2-XX-P is the power button model in Forecr's entry Jetson Nano range, built for attended installs where staff control power on site rather than at a remote supply. In the same enclosure size, the DSBOX-TX2NX adds a CAN Bus port and 1.33 TFLOPS, and the DSBOX-NX2 moves to Jetson Xavier NX for 21 TOPS when models grow heavier. The DSBOX-ORNX brings Jetson Orin NX and Orin Nano modules for current Orin-generation compute.
Within our catalogue, the DSBOX-N2-XX-P belongs with our Jetson Nano computers and our embedded box PCs for compact cabinet, bench and machine-side installs. Its fanless enclosure also places it among our fanless PCs for dusty and enclosed sites, where a sealed unit with no cooling fan to clean keeps maintenance visits short and low power draw keeps cabinet temperatures down. Bench and pilot setups benefit from the same compact footprint and local power control.
