Model & configuration

Catalogue base is the ZimaBoard 2 1664 (16 GB LPDDR5, 64 GB eMMC, SKU ZMB002-SL21664); the 832 (8 GB, 32 GB eMMC) has the identical housing. Front (rack-facing) is the I/O end: Mini-DP 1.4, two stacks of 2.5GbE RJ45 over USB 3.1 Type-A, DC 12 V. SATA data, SATA power and SATA data on the rear end; PCIe 3.0 x4 slot projecting 5.97 mm from the left side (83 mm overall width; the aluminium body is 77 mm). Geometry checked against IceWhale’s published STEP model; built from primitives. Both ZimaBoard 2 10-inch community panels (MakerWorld 1346315 and 1927437) mount it flat, fins up, I/O end forward. No mount included.

Power reference

manufacturer idle
6 W
measured peak
25.3 W

IceWhale lists 6 W idle and 10 W TDP. CNX Software measured 6.8–9.0 W idle (NAS, mini-PC and router setups with two SATA drives) and up to 25.3 W at the wall under load (stress-ng 10.3–25.1 W, mostly 20–21 W). PCIe cards and SATA drives add to this; the 12 V / 5 A (60 W) adapter is not the device draw.
