ADLE3800SEC
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.

* With its M.2 socket the ADLE3800SEC supports keying B M.2 modules.
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.
