DFI EC700-AL-N3350-2LAN Dual-Core Intel Celeron N3350 Low-Profile Embedded PC with 9-36V DC and Dual GbE

Some jobs only need to poll a few serial devices and forward the data. The EC700-AL-N3350-2LAN is the entry build of the DFI EC700-AL series for that kind of work: a low-profile fanless embedded PC with a dual-core Intel Celeron N3350, four COM ports, two GbE ports and four USB 3.0 ports.

The Celeron N3350 runs two Apollo Lake cores within a 6 W TDP, which suits polling, logging and light gateway software. Memory is 2 GB of DDR3L onboard plus one 204-pin SO-DIMM, up to 8 GB in total, and 8 GB of eMMC holds the OS. Intel HD Graphics drives two displays, and the EC700-AL-N3350-2LAN runs Windows 10 IoT or Linux, as DFI states for Apollo Lake.

Networking is two Intel I210 GbE ports on RJ45, with four USB 3.0 Type-A ports, four RS-232/422/485 ports on DB9 and one DisplayPort output at up to 4096×2160 at 60 Hz and one VGA at up to 1920×1200. Storage is a 2.5-inch SATA bay and a full-size mSATA slot, plus the onboard eMMC. A full-size Mini PCIe slot with nano-SIM takes an optional 4G module, and an M.2 2230 E key slot takes optional Wi-Fi, with antenna holes on the front panel.

Power is 9 to 36 V DC on a DC jack. DFI rates the EC700-AL-N3350-2LAN from -20 °C to 60 °C and lists CE, FCC Class A, RoHS, CCC, UL and KC compliance, and it mounts on a wall, a VESA plate or a DIN rail with optional kits. We supply it configured and tested, with memory, storage, the OS image and any 4G or Wi-Fi modules fitted before it ships. The EC700-AL-N4200-2LAN doubles the cores with the same I/O, and the EC700-AL-E3930-2LAN adds -40 °C to 70 °C operation.
