1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: WAFER-JL-N5105
The WAFER-JL-N5105 is a 3.5" industrial motherboard equipped with an Intel® Celeron®
N5105 quad-core Jasper Lake processor supporting 4 cores, 4 threads, turbo up-to 2.60
GHz with L3 cache, and supports one 260-pin 2933 MHz dual-channel DDR4 SDRAM SO-
DIMM slot with up to 16 GB of memory.
The WAFER-JL-N5105 series includes a HDMI1.4 (up to 4096 x 2160@30Hz) connector
and a DP1.4 (up to 4096 x 2160 @60Hz) connector for dual independent display.
Expansion and I/O include one M.2 A-key slot for Wi-Fi or Bluetooth expansions, one M.2
B-keyslot with SIM holder for 5G module or NVMe storage expansions. Two USB 3.2 Gen
2 connectors on the rear panel, two USB 2.0 connectors by pin header and one SATA
6Gb/s connector. Serial device connectivity is provided by two internal RS-232 connectors.
Three RJ-45 GbE connectors provide the system with smooth connections to an external
LAN.
