M. 2 E Key 2230: Located at the bottom, supports Wi Fi/BT modules.
M. 2 M Key 2280: Supports NVMe SSD.
SATA connector (bottom): 2 standard SATA III interfaces for connecting 2.5-inch hard drives.
USB 2.0 dongle interface (bottom): used for installing encryption dongles or system authorization modules.
System fan connector (12V PWM): Although the device is designed without a fan, an external fan interface is reserved for auxiliary heat dissipation in extreme high temperature environments.
I2C Wafer: Provides two sets of I2C buses (I2C0/I2C1), supporting 3.3V or 5V levels, for connecting external sensors or expansion boards.
External power/reset button pin: allows the power button and reset button to be led out to the cabinet panel.
In addition, the motherboard is equipped with a Flash ROM Socket for debugging, a BIOS update interface, and a 40 pin D-BUG connector, which facilitates low-level debugging during the development phase.
Driver support and software ecosystem
Users can download the complete set of drivers for MVP-3100/MVP-3120 through the official ADLINK product page:
Official driver download path: www.adlinktech.com/products/industrial_pcs_fanless_embedded_pcs/expandablefanlessembeddedcomputers/mvp-3100
The driver includes a chipset, network card, graphics card, ME (management engine), and serial port driver, and also provides BIOS update tools. ADLINK also offers optional accessories such as remote power switch cables (P/N: TBD) and fan kits (P/N: TBD), further enhancing on-site deployment flexibility.
Safety Compliance and Environmental Declaration
The manual clearly states that the product complies with FCC Part 15 regulations and follows the EU RoHS and WEEE environmental directives. Of particular note is the California Proposition 65 warning: the product may contain carcinogenic or reproductive toxic chemicals known in California, such as lead, cadmium, DEHP, etc., but all are within the scope of RoHS exemption or strict control.
Summary of Safety Operation Points:
Only trained technicians can open the chassis or replace the battery (improper replacement of lithium batteries poses a risk of explosion).
The equipment should be installed in restricted access areas (such as server rooms) and comply with NFPA 75 fire safety regulations.
If using an adapter for power supply, it is necessary to ensure that the protective earth (PE) of the adapter is reliably connected.
Hot surface warning: Some heat dissipation fins may exceed the safe contact temperature in high temperature environments and need to be cooled before operation.
