best practices, pay particular attention to the following:.
2. Introduction
This manual provides configuration and usage information for the ITX-P-3800. If you
still have questions, contact Technical Support at (817) 274-7553, Monday through
Friday, between 8 AM and 5 PM Central Standard Time (CST).
Refer to the WinSystems website for other accessories (including cable drawings and

3. Functionality
WinSystems’ ITX-P-3800 series single board computers (SBCs) pack an impressive
feature set into small form factor Pico-ITX design. The SBCs are based on the Intel
®
E3800 processor family, which provides CPU and graphics performance. The ITX-P-
3800 is a perfect choice for applications requiring low power and Intel performance in a
small form factor package with industrial connectors and I/O.
The integrated Intel
®
Atom™ (formerly Bay Trail-I) platform offers superb performance
and product longevity. Available with either an Intel E3825 1.33 GHz dual-core CPU or
an E3845 1.91 GHz quad-core CPU, the integrated chipset and graphics engines provide
the processing power and graphics capabilities for demanding embedded and IoT
applications. The ITX-P-3800 includes either 2G or 4G DDR3L SDRAM soldered down
to the board with a data transfer rate of 1066 MHz when used with the E3825 CPU or
1333 MHz with the E3845 CPU.
FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THESE BEST PRACTICES MAY DAMAGE THE ITX-P-3800 AND
VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
Avoid Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Only handle the circuit board and other bare electronics when electrostatic discharge (ESD)
protection is in place. Having a wrist strap and a fully grounded workstation is the minimum
ESD protection required before the ESD seal on the product bag is broken.
