2. About the Product
This product is a fan-less and high-performance embedded type computer with the seventh-
generation Intel
®
CPU processor. Along with its power-saving and high-performance features,
this product has a rich variety of interfaces and achieves fan-less operation by way of natural
air-cooling.
The Core i5-7300U processor or Celeron 3965U processor can be selected for the CPU.
Various interfaces such as dual LAN / USB3.0 / DisplayPort / DVI-D / RS-232C / DIO and the slot-in
2.5 inches SATA hard disk bay unit being installed, this product is best suited to displaying images
including digital signage.
Additionally, a 2-slot model (which can be equipped with PCI busses in two slots) and a 4-slot
model (which can be equipped with a PCI Express [x4] bus) are available.
Embedded-type CPU has been adopted.
The use of readily available parts ensures the product to be applied easily. In addition, Contec-
customized BIOS allows support to be provided at the BIOS level.

4. Features
Seventh-generation Core i5, Celeron processor adopted
This product adopts the CPU that saves power consumption and also provides high computing and graphic performances.
Embedded-type CPU makes the stable supply possible.
Fan-less design reduces maintenance work
The product is fan-less to ensure a totally spindle-less design that simplifies maintenance, relieving the concern about dust or foreign
matter to get into the product. Moreover, along with minimized use of degrading parts greatly reduce maintenance work.
Major types of peripherals are supported with rich
interfaces
It has a variety of extended interface such as DVI-D x 1, Displayport×1, 1000BASE-T x 2, USB3.0 x 4, USB2.0 x 2, serial (RS-232C) x 3 and
DIO x 1.
It has two slot-in type of 2.5-inch SATA disk slots, providing the ability to separate data from the operating system, as well as the
convenience of being able to use one slot for system startup and the other for maintenance or for taking home system logs or collected
data.
Expansion slots to hold PCI bus boards (Type with
Expansion Slot).
BX-M10x0P2 has two PCI slots.
BX-M10x0P4 has one PCI-Express(x4) slot and three PCI slots.
The attachment fitting and cable ties prevent problems
caused by cable disconnections
For connectors with no locking mechanism such as USB cable, unnecessary trouble can be avoided by the use of cable ties for prevention
of cable disconnection.
Safety design required for embedded applications
For Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019 LTSC installed type, it is possible to use the WF *1 function of OS.
It is designed for safety required for embedding purpose, for example, prohibiting unwanted writing to the HDD or SSD with WF function
will relieve the concern about the writing limits to the HDD or SSD and prevent an unintentional system alteration.
*1 UWF (Unified Write Filter) is a function of Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019 LTSC.
They protect the disk from being actually written by redirecting the writing to RAM.

3. Security Warning
When connecting to the network, be aware of security-related problems. See the examples of
Security measures below and set up the product properly along with the network devices.
1. Information security risks
Unauthorized access from the outside through a network could cause the system halt, data
damage, or exposure to malware. *1
Invaded and used as a stepping stone, a device might attack the others through networks. (a
victim becomes an assailant)
Information might leak without realizing due to the connection to the network.
Secondary damages such as harmful rumors, liability in damages, social credibility fall, and
opportunity loss are expected led by the troubles described above.
*1: Malware (Malicious Software) is software that brings harm to a computer system and performs
unintended operations.
2. Security measures – e.g.
Do not keep using the default password. (Refer to the product manual for the password
setting).
Set a strong password.
Combined with upper and lowercase letters, and numbers so that it cannot be easily
analogized by others.
Change the password periodically.
Disable unnecessary network services and functions.
Restrict access to the network with network devices. *2
Restrict ports to be released on the network with network devices. *2
Create a closed network connection using such as dedicated network or VPN*3
*2: Inquire for setting procedure to manufacturers.
*3: VPN (Virtual Private Network) a secured network that wards off unauthorized access by
protecting the communication path with authentication and encryption.
Unfortunately, there are no perfect ways to avert unauthorized access or close a security hole
that are endlessly found day and night.
Please understand that risks are always involved with the Internet connection, and we strongly
recommend a user should constantly update information security measures.
