PCIe x4 Slot Allows Extensive I/O and Function Expansion
Outwards-facing Expansions
Inwards-facing Expansions
PCIe x4 Interface Card Expansion
Outwards-facing Expansions:
Two PCIe x1 / One PCIe x2
The outwards-facing riser card, NWR-L2S, enables the connection of up to two outwards-facing PCIe x1 slots via one PCI Express interface. Although may take up more space, it can help enhance the airflow and heat transfer within the system. It is ideal for the chassis that is wide enough for the expansion card to be placed.
Inwards-facing Expansions:
Two PCIe x1 / One PCIe x2
The inwards-facing riser card, NWR-R2S, enables the connection of up to two inwards-facing PCIe x1 slots via one PCI Express interface. It is suitable for installation where space is limited. With higher height to increase spacing between boards, it can ensure efficient heat dissipation for space-constrained applications.
PCIe x4 Interface Card Expansion
The PCIe Gen3 x4 (x2 signal) slot, providing high-speed data transfer rate of up to 2GB/s, allows for additional customization and expansion. Directly installing a PCIe card enables the motherboard to run more complex and challenging tasks at the edge.

Mounting Needs
IEI has developed a highly efficient thermal solution for the 3.5"
SBC - the IEI Heat Conduction Casing (IHCC). The IHCC
effectively enhances heat transfer performance by targeting the
primary heat source, thus eliminating the need for designing a
separate heat spreader.
The IHCC consists of a casing and a heat conduction block that
securely fits over the key components where the major heat is
generated, ensuring optimal heat transfer.
Diverse Mounting Options
With its well-design thermal casing, the WAFER-ADL-N provides 13 holes on three sides. It can be conveniently mounted on the back panel, door, or DIN rail of a control cabinet. Moreover, installing an extra thermal module for optimal performance in elevated ambient temperatures is a straightforward process.
Fitting Different Mounting Needs
The motherboard is designed to cater to various mounting requirements, such as in embedded system/electrical cabinet, or versatile stacking with thermal modules.
Elevate Your Performance with DDR5 Memory Technology
The WAFER-ADL-N delivers unmatched performance with DDR5 memory, which offers more storage, lower power, and DDR4 compatibility. This cutting-edge solution unlocks limitless possibilities, revolutionizing your computing experience with a bandwidth supporting up to 4800Hz, 50% higher than the previous generation's 3200Hz.
Increased Speed and Bandwidth
DDR5 offers significantly higher data transfer rates compared to DDR4, resulting in faster and more efficient performance. It's great for gaming, content creation, and scientific simulations.
Lower Power Consumption
DDR5 operates at lower voltages, resulting in reduced power consumption. This not only helps in conserving energy but also generates less heat, contributing to better system stability and cooler operation.
Higher Memory Capacity
DDR5 supports higher memory capacities, allowing for larger amounts of data to be stored and accessed. This is particularly beneficial for applications that require extensive memory usage, such as gaming, video editing, and data-intensive tasks.
Enhanced Error Correction
DDR5 incorporates advanced error correction capabilities, enhancing data integrity and reliability. This helps in minimizing data corruption and improving system stability, especially when dealing with large amounts of data.
M.2 Expansion for Wi-Fi and NVMe Storage
M.2 2230 A Key for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth
The M.2 2230 A key slot carrying with PCIe Gen3 x1 and USB 2.0 signals allows it to adopt the latest Wi-Fi 6E technology. Wi-Fi 6E enhances low latency and supports service levels that are equivalent to 5G networks.
M.2 2280 M Key for NVMe SSD
The M.2 2242/80 M Key slot for PCIe offers advantages including high-speed data transfer, increased storage capacity, compact size, improved system performance, and compatibility with the efficient NVMe protocol.
Dual Low-Latency 2.5G LAN Powered by Intel
2.5 GbE allows for different connection speeds ranging from 100 Mbps to 2.5 Gbps on Cat 6 and Cat 5e cables, enabling users to fully utilize high-performance network solutions without costly cable upgrades.
