Advantech MIC-712-OX NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX Fanless Embedded Computer with Out-of-Band Management and -25 to 70 °C

Cameras on mobile equipment and in security installations need inference close to the sensor, in a unit that fits a vehicle bay or a shallow cabinet. The Advantech MIC-712-OX is an ultra-slim fanless embedded computer for that work, 160 x 160 x 60 mm and 2.05 kg, built around the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX. It belongs to the MIC-712 series as the Orin NX model without PoE, with out-of-band management integrated within the system.

The MIC-712-OX takes the Orin NX 16GB, with an eight-core Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU and 16 GB of LPDDR5, or the 8GB module with six cores and 8 GB. Both carry a 1024-core NVIDIA Ampere GPU with 32 Tensor Cores, and Super mode on JetPack 6.2 raises the rating to up to 157 TOPS. The MIC-712-OX4A1 (16GB) and MIC-712-OX3A1 (8GB) ship with JetPack 6.2 on a 128 GB NVMe SSD, and the A2 builds come without an SSD.

On the outside are two Gigabit Ethernet ports, four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, an HDMI output at up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz and micro USB ports for the debug console and OTG. Inside, an M.2 2230 E key socket takes an optional Wi-Fi 6 module, an M.2 3052 B key socket with a nano SIM slot takes an optional 5G module, and an M.2 2280 socket on PCIe x4 holds the NVMe SSD, with micro SD alongside. A MIPI connector accepts the optional MIC-FG-4G2C1 four-channel GMSL2 frame grabber, and headers are reserved for optional RS-232/422/485, CAN bus and TPM 2.0.

Power is 19 to 36 V DC. The MIC-712-OX runs from -25 °C to 70 °C with 0.7 m/s airflow in 25 W power mode, or -25 °C to 50 °C in 40 W mode. Wall mounting brackets come in the box, with an optional DIN rail bracket, and the system carries CE, FCC, UKCA, CB, UL, BSMI and CCC certifications. Where cameras need power, the MIC-712P-OX adds six PoE ports, and the MIC-712-ON uses the Orin Nano for lighter models.
