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
Technical support for this product can be obtained in the following ways:
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
1.3 Warranty
This product is warranted to be free of defects in workmanship and material. ADL Embedded Solutions'
sole obligation under this warranty is to provide replacement parts or repair services at no charge, except
shipping cost. Such defects which appear within 12 months of original shipment of ADL Embedded
Solutions will be covered, provided a written claim for service under warranty is received by ADL
Embedded Solutions no less then 30 days prior to the end of the warranty period of within 30 days of
discovery of the defect –whichever comes first. Warranty coverage is contingent upon proper handling
and operation of the product. Improper use such as unauthorized modifications or repair, operation
outside of specified ratings, or physical damage may void any service claims under warranty.
1.4 Return Authorization
All equipment returned to ADL Embedded Solutions for evaluation, repair, credit return, modification, or
any other reason must be accompanied by a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. ADL
Embedded Solutions requires a completed RMA request form to be submitted in order to issue an RMA
number. The form can be found under the Support section at our website: www.adl-usa.com or
www.adl-europe.com. Submit the completed form to [e-mail] or fax to [phone] for
the USA office, or to [e-mail] or fax to [phone] to request an RMA from the
European office in Germany. Following a review of the information provided, ADL Embedded Solutions
will issue an RMA number.

2 Overview
2.1 Features
The ADLE3800SEC is designed as mini computing unit. It combines basic I/O functions, onBoard
memory and an efficient CPU on a minimum of space.
The frontpanel provides standard interfaces, such as DisplayPort/HDMI, 1x USB2.0, 1x USB3.0 and 2x
Gbit-LAN interfaces.
With the BAseCon140 connector on its reverse side, the ADLE3800SEC provides a flexible option for
additional IOs. The connector offers up to 8 PCIe-lanes, from which 4 can be muxed with SATA and
further 4 with USB3.0 signals. A backplane takes over the IO configuration. All configuration data are
stored in an EEProm on the backplane. The backplane communicates the data to the board via SMB and
therefore enables an uncomplicated and self-configuring IO extension.
An RGB LED signals the state of powercontroller. Input voltage is 24V.
Even though the ADLE3800SEC is designed in an extremely compact and small format, it offers the full
motherboard functionality.

3 Detailed Description
3.1 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 256 KByte. They also offer many features known from
the desktop range such as SSE4.1/4.2, loadable microcode etc.
The Atom™ CPU operates in an extended range of thermal conditions and therefore is capable for use in
industrial systems.
3.2 Memory
The ADLE3800SEC is equipped with four fixed DRAM memory modules.
Depending on the product variant, there are different memory modules in use, as there are a DDR3
variant with 2GByte and another one with 4GByte memory. The ADLE3800SEC supports a maximum
frequency of 1333MHz, depending on the CPU type.
3.3 M.2
Depending on the type of card, add-in cards, which comply with the M.2 specification, come in a very
small format and with flexible dimensions. Different key IDs support different interfaces, as there are up to
four PCI Express lanes, SATA and/or USB3.0 (see table below).
M.2 cards can be easily inserted: just plug them into the slot and fix it with a fixing screw.
Cards of different types have different keyings. Depending on the supported type, one port can receive
add-in cards of one ore various types.

For optimal driver compatibility we recommend the use of a Microsoft®
Windows® 8 operating system.
If you use an add-in card, which is not or not fully supported, the BIOS
will display an error message.

4 Connectors
This section describes all the connectors found on the ADLE3800SEC.
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.

4.2.2 USB
USB channels 1 and 2 are provided via two standard USB connectors.
USB channel 1 supports USB 2.0 and provides up to 500 mA current.
USB channel 2 supports USB 3.0. Contrary to the USB3.0 specification, channel 2 only provides
500mA current. For higher power requirements, you must use devices with an integrated power
supply.
Both interfaces, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, are protected by an electronically resettable fuse.
You may note that the setting of USB keyboard or USB mouse support in the BIOS-setup is only
necessary and advisable, if the OS offers no USB-support. BIOS-setup can be changed with a USB
keyboard without enabling USB keyboard support. Running Windows with these features enabled may
lead to significant performance or functionality limitations.
Both Standard USB ports are protected by a combined overcurrent
detection. In case of an overcurrent, even at one port, the overcurrent
protection will turn off both USB ports.

4.3 Memory and internal connectors
4.3.1 DRAM Memory
The ADLE3800SEC is equipped with four fixed DRAM memory modules DDR3-667.
Depending on the hardware variant, there are two different memory modules in use, which are one DDR3
variant with 2GByte and one DDR3L variant with 4GByte memory.
All timing parameters for different memory modules are automatically set by BIOS.

4.3.2 M.2 2242 (Keying B)
The ADLE3800SEC is equipped with a further M.2 socket, in which M.2-2242 cards (keying B) can be
inserted. The socket leads SATA signals (up to 3 Gb/s) through, and therefore enables the use of an M.2
SSD card.
