Although described in various data sheets and by various suppliers as a '3030' the device label carries the information:
MODEL NO | : | N03D |
PART NO | : | 909802-02L |
SUB_ASSY P/N | : | 849502-02L |
WYSE PROD ID | : | 3290 16GMF/4GR RJ45 2DVI INTL |
You'll find various websites identifying it as a '3030 (3290)'.
The basic specs for my 3030 (3290) are:

The 3290 runs Windows Embedded Standard 7.
My 3290 came without a power supply. Despite what is mentioned in some data sheets the back panel is clearly marked +12V by the power socket. (Subsequent models may use a 19V supply). The connector is a standard coax plug: 5.5mm/2.1mm.
The power consumption is low (<6W) so you do not need a particularly highly rated power supply. Out of interest I did try out a (ex router?) 9V/2A 'Wall Wart' style power unit. The 3290 apparently ran without any problems.
If you need to do this is it is fairly straightforward. You need to remove the foot (if fitted) which is a push fit. Then remove the three screws on the back panel. You then need to gently lever off the side panel that covers the top of the PCB. Start at the two back corners as the internal metalwork on the front edge actually slides under a lip just behind the front panel. When you get it clear at the back you need to move the panel towards the rear to clear this lip. On re-assembly you need to remember that you need to locate the front edge under this lip before pushing the side panel back on.
For those to whom it matters here is some detail from Linux's /proc/cpuinfo. (Dual Core Processor)

[February 2022] An astute Filipp noticed that, despite having an mSATA port, no SATA interface appeared in the lspci listing. Checking again I see that it looks like the BIOS effectively removes the SATA port if nothing is fitted in the mSATA socket. With my one example of an 8GB mini-mSATA board fitted to the 3290, the SATA controller (highlighted in red) does appear in the lspci listing.
Expansion of the 3030 (3290) is limited, there is little room inside the housing.
Flash: The flash is a socketed mini mSATA SSD. Note the 'mini' bit. The flash size is 26.8mm x 30mm. A longer board will not fit unless you take an angle grinder/hacksaw to the heat sink.
A quick check on eBay showed me that the small size mSATA SSD are few and far between. I did manage to find an 8GB one on offer at a reasonable price. The cheapish 16GB one turned out to be a 44-pin IDE SSD when it arrived. There were a few others from China but they were close to twice the price of their full length siblings. Note: The SSD is not fitted in the photo right but can be seen fitted below.
In May 2023 I heard from George. His 3290 had been manufactured in 2016 and was fitted with a slightly shorter heatsink than my 2014 example. Maybe 18mm shorter? This can be seen at the bottom of the larger board photograph.
RAM: The RAM is a SODIMM DDR3L RAM. The Apacer part fitted was labelled '4GB SOD 1.35V PC3-12800 CL11'. Although the CPU datasheet states 'Max Memory Size 4GB' both I and Martin have successfully used 8GB parts. (e.g. SK hynix HMT41GS6BFR8A-PB and Crucial CT102464BF160B). From Martin's experimentation the RAM needs to be 'L' parts - i.e. 1.35V. 1.5V parts do not work.
I have since heard that a 16GB PC3L part (MT16TF2G64HZ-1G6A1) also works.
mPCIe: There is a mPCIe socket for a wireless module. The PCB is clearly marked WLAN by it and there are two mounting holes on the rear panel for the antenna. As you can see no Wireless card was fitted to my example.
USB: There is a single USB 2.0 port on the rear and three ports on the front panel, the top one of which is to the 3.1 USB standard.
Link: CN4400 in the corner of the board adjacent to the WLAN connector is used to clear the CMOS. In the LT version it has been replaced by a push button. The link does provide a convenient point to measure the backup battery voltage to see if it needs replacing as the battery itself is located on the underside of the motherboard.
The mini mSATA SSD in place. My 3290 came without any flash. However I did manage to source an
8GB SSD which is what is fitted here.
The 'Clear CMOS'/CN4400 link in the corner of the PCB.
The SW7004 push-button on the underneath of the PCB. I have no idea what this does.
On the LT version it is labelled 'BIOS'.
A few observations on the earlier board (this one) compared to the later LT version.
