  • Page 4: Important Safe Handling Information

    Diamond Systems recommends that all its boards be stored only in individual ESD-safe packaging units. If multiple boards are stored together, they should be contained in bins with dividers placed between the boards. Do not pile boards on top of each other or cram too many boards within a small location.
  • Page 5 To avoid such damages, assembly operations must be performed when the system is powered off. Power Supply Wired Backwards: Diamond Systems power supplies and boards are not designed to withstand a reverse power supply connection. This will destroy almost all ICs connected to the power supply. In this case, the board will likely be irreparable and must be replaced.
  • Page 6: Introduction & System Configurations

    2. INTRODUCTION & SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS JetBox-FloydSC System Overview JetBox-FloydSC is a compact Nvidia Jetson AI computing platform ready to deploy. It includes the Jetson Nano or NX module installed on Diamond Systems FLOYDSC carrier board with a Linux OS installed and preconfigured to support all the I/Os on FloydSC.
  • Page 7: Functional Overview

    3. FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW Power Supply Specifications The JetBox-FloydSC accepts a wide input voltage range of +7V to +24V. Maximum power consumption with either Nano or NX module installed, and all peripherals operating is 35W. The maximum allowable reflected ripple, measured at the voltage input connector is 50 mV p-p. The input power is provided via a barrel jack with 5.5mm OD / 2.5mm ID dimensions (tip positive).
