⚠️ Important Notes

Processor Family: Utilizes the modern Intel® Alder Lake-N series, which features Efficient-cores (E-cores) only. The i3-N305 offers 8 cores for higher performance, while the N100/N95 are optimized for power efficiency. Confirm your CPU choice based on performance needs.

Memory Configuration: Features a single SO-DIMM slot supporting a maximum of 16GB DDR4-3200. Plan your memory capacity accordingly as it is not dual-channel.

M.2 Storage Slot Compatibility: The M.2 Key M slot is versatile, supporting both PCIe NVMe (x2 lane) and SATA SSDs. Ensure you purchase the correct SSD type for your desired performance and budget.

Advanced Networking: Equipped with two Intel I226-V 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet controllers, offering higher throughput than standard Gigabit LAN, ideal for NAS, firewalls, and bandwidth-intensive network applications.

Expansion Slots: Has two distinct expansion slots: a Mini-PCIe (for 4G or older Wi-Fi) and a modern M.2 Key E (for CNVi Wi-Fi 6/Bluetooth cards like Intel AX200/AX201). Choose modules that match the key and interface.

Thermal Considerations: While designed for fanless operation, the higher TDP of the i3-N305 processor generates more heat. For operation at the upper end of the ambient temperature range (near 55°C), ensure the chassis has adequate passive ventilation in the installation environment.
