Contec: DX-M2300 Series Fanless Compact AI Computer with NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin for Server-Class AI Performance
September 10, 2024
Contec Co., Ltd. has developed the DX-M2300 Series of fanless embedded computers featuring NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin SOM (System on Module) AI modules for embedded devices, allowing for server-class AI performance.
Contec will begin taking orders for these new products on September 13, 2024.
This new series of fanless embedded computers is equipped with NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin AI modules specifically designed for embedded devices. These computers offer AI performance comparable to data center GPU cards, with up to 275 TOPS (INT8)—about 8 times the performance of previous Jetson AGX Xavier modules. Contec’s proprietary heat dissipation technology, which includes large heat sinks, ensures fanless operation in a compact 200(W) x 200(D) x 65(H) mm (7.8 x 7.8 x 2.5 in) chassis, allowing for the use of two devices in an EIA 19-inch rack with a 2U height.
Each of these compact embedded computers offers the AI performance required for autonomous control, making them suitable for a variety of robotics applications including autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). The DX-M2300 Series can also be used in place of a GPU server.
Main Features
- Edge AI accelerator equipped with NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin – This edge AI computer series is equipped with NVIDIA® Jetson AGX Orin™, offering the highest performance in the Jetson series for use in fields requiring powerful AI inference processing capabilities.
- Standard-equipped with NVMe storage – The standard-equipped high-capacity NVMe storage offers reliable operation with no need to worry about capacity.
- Long-term supply and maintenance – Long-term product supply is provided, as well as repair and maintenance services. This can significantly reduce life cycle costs, including verification and modification man-hours that were needed with every model change.
- Highly reliable and long-life components – The high-reliability, long-life design utilizes accumulated knowledge about BOX computers allowing for reliable use in high-availability systems.
- Two Gigabit LAN ports for alternating connections between different network layers – Each model is equipped with two Gigabit LAN ports. This makes it ideal for edge computing that alternates connections between different network layers such as between video acquisition from a camera and higher-order information system networks.
- Support for ambient temperatures of −20°C to +60°C – The DX-M2300 Series can be used in various environments with ambient temperatures of −20°C to +60°C (with an airflow of 0.7 m/s). (Derating may occur under certain load conditions.)
