FAQ

1. What can I actually do with ZimaBoard 2?

ZimaBoard 2 is perfect for building a personal NAS, media server (like Plex or Jellyfin), self-hosted services (Pi-hole, Home Assistant), mini firewall (OPNsense), or even a Proxmox homelab. It’s a full x86 SBC - more powerful and flexible than a Raspberry Pi.

2. Does it come with everything I need to start?

Yes! Each package includes:

  • ZimaBoard 2
  • 12V/5A Power Adapter
  • SATA Y-Cable (for dual SSD/HDD)
  • Cooling Fan

Just plug in storage, try our ZimaOS (pre-installed) or install your favorite OS, and go.

3. What operating systems does it support?

ZimaBoard 2 supports ZimaOS, TrueNAS, Debian, Ubuntu, Proxmox, pfSense, OPNsense, and more. It's an x86-64 board, so you're not limited like with ARM devices.

4. Can I upgrade or expand it?

Absolutely. You get:

  • 2× SATA ports
  • 1× Open-ended PCIe x4 slot (for 10G NIC, GPU, capture card, etc.)
  • Dual 2.5G Ethernet

Plenty of room to grow into your setup.

5. Can it replace my current NAS or router?

Yes. ZimaBoard 2 can easily take over as your personal NAS or smart router. Many users run ZimaOS (for personal cloud, file sharing, and app hosting), or install systems like TrueNAS, OpenMediaVault, or pfSense for advanced networking and storage setups.

6. Where can I get help or support?

Powerful, and Exceptionally Well-Built

The Zimaboard 2 has genuinely impressed me. From the moment I unboxed it, the build quality stood out — solid, well-designed, and clearly engineered with longevity in mind. The setup process was surprisingly smooth, making it easy to get everything up and running without any complications.

Performance has been excellent for its size. It handles home-lab tasks, self-hosting, and lightweight server workloads with ease. The cooling design keeps temperatures well under control, and the overall system feels reliable and efficient.

Overall, the Zimaboard 2 strikes a perfect balance between power, usability, and craftsmanship. Whether you’re building a compact server, running containers, hosting services, or just experimenting with new tech, it’s a fantastic piece of hardware that makes the experience enjoyable from start to finish.

Highly recommended.

Ho installato la zimaboard2 senza problemi, ma ancora non l'ho attivata perché devo comprare i dischi definitivi da montare. Aspetto il black friday :)
