ZOTAC ZBOX Nano XS AD11 Plus Review

Packaging and Contents

Bold and vibrant, the Nano XS AD11 Plus' packaging immediately stands out.



The ZBOX packaging lists the contents and capabilities, including the added benefits of the PLUS version: RAM and SSD Storage. 802.11n Wifi, Gigabit LAN, an IR Remote Control and VESA mount are clearly listed; at a glance the potential user should be able to grasp if additional components are required.



The rear of the box showcases images of system connectivity and I/O, technical specifications for which are on the right-hand edge. Once again all the pertinent information is displayed clearly and concisely. All in all ZOTAC gets a 10 out of 10 – very clear and well laid out with minimal room for confusion.



Included in the Nano XS AD11 pack is the following hardware:

The AD11 unit,
3-pin 'Clover leaf' power lead with region-specific plug,
External PSU with DC-out,
802.11n USB WiFi Adapter /w aerial,
Optical mini-SPDIF to SPDIF Adaptor for audio-out combo port,
ZOTAC branded IR remote /w 2*CR2032 button batteries,
USB IR Adapter for IR remote,
100mm x 100mm / 75mm x 75mm VESA mount /w 4 screws


Note that it does not include an HDMI cable, which would need to be sourced elsewhere.



Documentation is generally as you would expect: a detailed 24 page English user manual for setting up the AD11 including a walkthrough of the BIOS; Chipset and Wireless Network Adapter driver CD's; and as a nice bonus a full-colour multi-lingual installation guide poster. You should also find a warranty information card too.
