The 3030 LT runs Linux and is fitted with 4GB of flash and 2GB of DDR3 RAM.

Power Supply

My 3030 LT came with a 12V 2.5A Chicony PSU. 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 with the 3290. The 3290 apparently ran without any problems.

Getting Inside

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.

Expansion

Dell Wyse 3030 LT internal view

Expansion of the 3030 LT is limited, there is little room inside the housing and the Flash and RAM memory are soldered to the board. Click on the photo right for a larger version.

Flash: The flash is a 4GB eMMC chip soldered to the bottom of the board.

RAM: The RAM is a 2GB DDR3 L RAM with a 1.333 MT/s data transfer rate. It is soldered to the top of the board just under the edge of the heatsink.

M.2: There is a M.2 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.

mSATA: There is an unpopulated mSATA area on the PCB. This is usable if you add the socket and the four missing (very small) surface mount capacitors in the data lines. However you have to switch to the 3290 BIOS if you want it to be found. This has the side effect making the eMMC flash vanish as there is no support for it in the N03D BIOS.

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.

Differences of note

A few observations on the earlier board compared to the this later LT version.

  • The earlier version has a 'clear CMOS' link (CN4400) whilst this LT version is fitted with a push button.
  • With this version the heatsink has been repositioned. It is further up the board. The WLAN/mSATA connectors have been swapped, and the mSATA connector on this version (if it was fitted) will now accommodate a standard 51mm mSATA board rather than being constrained to a 'mini' 26.8mm one.
