⚠️ Important Notes

Restricted Access Location (RAL) A Restricted Access Location is an area with extreme temperatures where only authorized personnel can enter for specific purposes.

  1. Access is limited to trained personnel aware of location restrictions and necessary precautions.

  2. Entry requires security measures such as tools, lock-and-key, or controlled access by the responsible authority.

Power Consumption Considerations Ensure power consumption is within the power supply’s specifications.

  • Recommended AC Adapters:

    • AC/DC 24V/12.5A, 300W (3PIN Terminal Block Power Adaptor)

    • AC/DC 24V/9.16A, 220W (3PIN Terminal Block Power Adaptor)

Ambient Temperature Precaution

  • The maximum safe operating temperature is 40°C if the external AC adapter model EA12501J or EA13001N is placed in the same high-temperature area as the embedded system.

PXE Application Requirement

  • Before OS installation via PXE server, pre-install the i219-LM driver in the OS image.

Lithium Battery Safety Warning

  • Caution: This system contains a Lithium battery.

  • Do NOT puncture, mutilate, or dispose of it in fire.

  • Risk of explosion if replaced incorrectly—use only manufacturer-recommended replacements.

  • Dispose of batteries as per manufacturer instructions and local regulations.

System Shutdown Risks The following configurations may cause unexpected shutdowns:

  • 12 x LANs or 10 x PoE LANs with certain NVMe SSD models (Check compatibility with sales support).

  • 12 x LANs or 10 x PoE LANs with mPCIe or M.2 Wi-Fi Cards (Excludes CNVi Wi-Fi Cards; check compatibility with sales support).

BIOS Flashing Precautions

  • Read BIOS release notes before re-flashing BIOS.

  • If BIOS resets to default settings post-flash, verify configuration before booting.

  • Incorrect RAID settings may cause system boot failure.

PCIe GFX Card Installation Considerations

  • With a PCIe GFX card installed in Alderamin MK3-D, BIOS setup will only support display output via the external graphics card.

Storage Limitations for Dual-Layer PCIe GFX Cards

  • Installing a dual-layer PCIe GFX card allows only one internal HDD/SSD (excluding removable HDD/SSD) instead of two due to mechanical constraints.

  • SATA cable connector must be inserted into the SATA port next to the 2 × 40x40x20mm internal system fan.

  • Cable clip removal may be required for clearance with the graphics card.

Storage Limitations for NVIDIA T4/P4 AI Card

  • Installing an NVIDIA T4 or P4 AI card with 2 × 40x40x28mm internal fans and a fan duct allows only one internal HDD/SSD (excluding removable HDD/SSD) instead of two to prevent interference.

  • SATA cable connector must be inserted into the internal SATA connector.

Alderamin MK3

  • Mechanical Dimensions: 268 mm x 246 mm x 108 mm

  • PCI Express x16 Slot Maximum Card Dimensions:

    • 111.15 x 200 x 18.7 mm (with mPCIe PoE Module)

    • 111.15 x 230 x 18.7 mm (without mPCIe PoE Module)
