Overview#

The following pages introduce key components, concepts and aspects of any UltraZohm system:

As of 2025, there are two “major versions” of UltraZohm systems in existence:

Systems based on carrier boards \(\leq\) Rev04, where

system power is controlled by a “0/1” power switch on the front panel,

power supply and 230V inlet are located on the SoM (i.e., when looking from the front, left-hand) side of the chassis, and

the front panel consists of several individual components (e.g., a dedicated cable harness per Ethernet, USB, and CAN connector).

Please refer to the left-hand side of Comparison of front panels across carrier board revisions (photos) if you are unsure about the revision :)

Systems based on carrier boards \(\geq\) Rev05, where

system power is controlled by a power button on the front panel (and a 230V switch on the back panel, cf. “What’s different?” for Rev04 Users and System Supply & Safety Component (S3C)),

power supply and 230V inlet are located on the adapter card (i.e., when looking from the front, right-hand) side of the chassis, and

the front panel consists of three interconnected PCBs, most notably the Front Panel Mainboard (which links the entire assembly to the carrier).
