1 Introduction
1.1 Important Notes
Please read this manual carefully before you begin installation of this hardware device. To avoid
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) or transient voltage damage to the board, adhere to the following rules at
all times:
oYou must discharge your body from electricity before touching this board.
oTools you use must be discharged from electricity as well.
oPlease ensure that neither the board you want to install, nor the unit on which you want to install this
board, is energized before installation is completed.
oPlease do not touch any devices or components on the board.
As soon as the board is connected to a working power supply, touching
the board may result in electrical shock, even if the board has not been
switched on yet. Please also note that the mounting holes for heat sinks
are connected to ground, so when using an externally AC powered device, a substantial ground
plane differential can occur if the external device's AC power supply or cable does not include an
earth ground. This could also result in electrical shock when touching the device and the heat sink
simultaneously.
1.2 Technical Support

oBy contacting our support staff at [phone] or [phone]
oBy contacting our staff via e-mail at [e-mail] or [e-mail]
oVia our website at www.adl-usa.com/support or www.adl-europe.com/support

2 Overview
2.1 Features
The ADLE3800HDC is a highly complex 3,5-inch board which incorporates complete motherboard
functionality. It's based on a System-On-Chip (SoC) of Intel®'s Atom E3800 product family. Modern low
voltage DDR3L technology provides top-notch memory performance, accomodating up to 16 GByte of
RAM (DDR3L-1333) via SO-DIMM204.
The frontpanel provides standard interfaces, such as a DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort connector, 3 Gigabit LAN
interfaces and 4 USB2.0 interfaces.
The ADLE3800HDC also provides internal interfaces, such as an 30pin I-PEX connector, which makes
DVI/HDMI/DP signals and a USB3.0 interface available, a SATA connector and two M.2(B) sockets,
which make PCI Express (1 x PCIe x1) and SATA signals available.
The power supply is realized via a 4pin connector. For connected peripherals, such as a display or a
SSD, the ADLE3800HDC provides two additional power supplies via internal FCI connectors.
Input voltage is 24V.

Chapter: Detailed Description Power Supply / UPS
page 12 ADL Embedded Solutions ADLE3800HDC
3 Detailed Description
3.1 Power Supply / UPS
The ADLE3800HDC needs an external power supply of 24V (will tolerate 20V-30V). This input is
galvanically isolated from the board's internal circuitry. It is also used for charging any UPS device that
may be present. This UPS device is either capacitor-based or connected externally as a Pb-battery pack.
With a UPS installed and charged, the module can stay operational even when a power failure occurs. A
capacitor-based UPS can keep the board alive only for a few seconds while a Pb-battery typically allows
for several minutes of continued operation. The exact amount of time is hard to predict as it also depends
on factors such as the UPS' charge level at the time of the power failure, CPU/chipset power consumption
etc. Generally, a Pb-battery needs a much longer time to reach full charge level compared to a capacitor-
based UPS.
3.2 SUPS
Optionally the ADLE3800HDC can be equipped with a plug-in SUPS, which can keep the board alive over
a short period of time in case of power failure or voltage fluctuation. The exact amount of time is hard to
predict as it also depends on factors such as the SUPS' capacitors and the boards' power consumption
etc. The capacitors size is only limited by the required space.
3.3 CPU
The motherboard employs an Intel® Atom™ processor of the E3800 family, which is a system-on-chip
(SoC) being optimized for low power consumption while at the same time providing state-of-the-art
computing performance.
The processors include a second level cache of 512 KByte. They also offer many features known from
the desktop range such as MMX2, serial number, loadable microcode etc.
The Atom™ CPU operates in an extended range of thermal conditions and therefore is capable for use in
industrial systems.
3.4 Memory
The ADLE3800HDC is equipped with two SO-DIMM204 sockets for DDR3L-1333-RAM. For technical and
mechanical reasons it is possible that particular memory modules cannot be employed. Please ask your
distributor for recommended memory modules.
With currently available SO-DIMM204 modules a memory extension up to 16 GByte is possible -
depending on the variants components. Product variants with Intel® Atom processors E3815 or E3825
provide only one memory socket. Therefore with those variants a memory extension is possible only up to
8 GByte.
If both memory sockets are in use, notice that you must use identical memory modules.
Please notice, that if only one memory socket shall be used, this one must be the memory socket U500
(which is the lower one).
3.5 M.2
M.2 is a PCIe based standard. With it's four PCI Express lanes and a SATA port it allows a great I/O
flexibility. SSDs can reach a higher speed, which is no longer limited by the SATA interface. Therefore the
M.2 standard enables the use of various PCBs and customized SATA/PCIe cards.
The ADLE3800HDC offers two M.2 sockets (both with keying B). The M.2-2280 socket provides PCI
Express signals (1x PCIe x1), the M.2-2242 socket provides SATA signals and enables the connection of
SSD cards.
For optimal driver compatibility we recommend the use of a Microsoft®
Windows® 8 operating system.

4 Connectors
This section describes all the connectors found on the ADLE3800HDC.
Please consider the requirements on the cabling!
For most interfaces, the cables must meet certain requirements. For
instance, USB 2.0 requires twisted and shielded cables to reliably
maintain full speed data rates. Restrictions on maximum cable length are also in place for many
high speed interfaces and for power supply. Please refer to the respective specifications and use
suitable cables at all times.

4.2 Power Supply
4.2.1 Mainboard Power Supply
The power supply of the ADLE3800HDC is realized via a 2x2pin connector (P20THR-1787014). The main
24V power lines are assigned to pin 3.
If a UPS is present you need to have a possibility to shut down the board in a regular way without
activating the UPS, thereby preventing premature aging of UPS components. That's what pin 1
(PC_START) is for. When pulled high (24V) a regular shutdown without UPS activity is triggered. As a
part of this regular shutdown pin 2 (PC_AKTIV) is pulled from 24V to 0V.
