Forecr DSBOX-N2-AA NVIDIA Jetson Nano Fanless Industrial Box PC for Fixed Panel Installs

The DSBOX-N2-AA is the standard industrial I/O model in the Forecr DSBOX-N2 series, a fanless industrial box PC built on the NVIDIA Jetson Nano. Without the front power button of the DSBOX-N2-XX-P, it suits fixed panel and cabinet installs such as IIoT gateways, edge analytics and video monitoring.

  • Standard Industrial I/O: The standard build carries Gigabit Ethernet, two USB 3.1 ports, RS-232/422/485 and 2-in/3-out digital I/O for fixed installs.
  • Jetson Nano Module: A 128-core Maxwell GPU, quad-core Cortex-A57 CPU and 4 GB LPDDR4 run deep learning models for IIoT and Industry 4.0.
  • 8-Stream Video Analytics: Processes up to 8 Full-HD video streams with the NVIDIA DeepStream SDK and decodes 4K video for HDMI 2.0 display.
  • Triple M.2 Expansion: An M.2 Key-M socket for SSD storage plus M.2 Key-E and Key-B sockets for WiFi, Bluetooth, LTE or 5G modules, plus a SIM slot.
  • Low-Power Fanless Build: Draws under 10 W from a 9-28 VDC supply, with fanless construction rated from -25°C to +65°C ambient.

DSBOX-N2-AA Overview

Fixed IIoT gateways and cabinet-mounted analytics units run unattended, so a compact, low-power design matters more than local controls. Forecr builds the DSBOX-N2-AA for that role: the standard industrial I/O model in the DSBOX-N2 series, a fanless industrial box PC built on the NVIDIA Jetson Nano for cost-effective edge analytics deployment.

The Jetson Nano combines 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, while drawing under 10 W on Ubuntu Linux 18.04, which keeps heat and power budgets small in sealed cabinets.

The DSBOX-N2-AA connects through one Gigabit Ethernet port, two USB 3.1 Type-A ports, a software-configurable RS-232/422/485 port and 2-in/3-out digital I/O, with an HDMI 2.0 output for 4K display at 3840 x 2160. 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. Input power is 9-28 VDC.

Forecr rates the DSBOX-N2-AA from -25°C to +65°C ambient in a fanless 110 x 130 x 60 mm enclosure designed for 24/7 operation. This industrial box PC suits cost-effective edge analytics in size and power constrained systems, from multi-camera video monitoring to IIoT data collection, where a low-cost unit per site keeps roll-out budgets under control across many locations. For attended installs, the DSBOX-N2-XX-P adds a front power button while keeping the same compute and I/O.

Official Forecr USA Distributor

Things Embedded is an official Forecr USA distributor, and the DSBOX-N2-AA is the standard I/O model in Forecr's entry Jetson Nano range, built for fixed and unattended installs inside cabinets, enclosures and machines. Where CAN Bus is needed, the DSBOX-TX2NX adds it with Jetson TX2 NX in the same enclosure size, and the DSBOX-NX2 raises AI performance to 21 TOPS with Jetson Xavier NX. The DSBOX-ORNX offers Jetson Orin NX and Orin Nano modules for Orin-generation compute.

Across categories, the DSBOX-N2-AA sits among our NVIDIA Jetson Nano computers and our wider industrial PCs range for factory and cabinet installs where space and budget are limited. Its passively cooled enclosure also places it with our fanless industrial computers, which suit dusty or enclosed sites where a sealed unit with no fan to clean keeps maintenance visits short and simple. Low power draw also suits sites fed from a vehicle or machine DC supply rather than mains power.
