Frequently Asked Questions

ZimaBoard SE brings the familiar ZimaBlade hardware platform into the ZimaBoard family, with a refreshed name and a more complete out-of-box experience.
The core hardware remains largely unchanged, while ZimaBoard SE now includes 8GB or 16GB RAM pre-installed, 64GB eMMC storage, ZimaOS, and essential accessories.

HDDs and SSDs are not included in either kit.
