2. About the Product

This product is a fanless embedded PC equipped with an Intel Atom® x5-E3940 (1.6 GHz) processor.

Despite the ultra-compact design about as large as two business cards, the product boasts a wide

operating temperature range (-30°C to +50°C) as well as excellent performance.

The product includes a rich array of interfaces, including USB Type-C (widely used in mobile devices),

DisplayPort, USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB3.0) × 2, and LAN × 2. The wireless models are equipped with wireless

LAN and Bluetooth® for easy connection to digital devices, making the BX-U200 Series ideal as an

IoT gateway device for connecting to peripherals.

4. Features

 Ultra-compact design about as large as two business

cards

This is the smallest [110 (W) × 90 (D) × 29 (H)] and lightest PC in the series. The product can contribute significantly to the miniaturization

of equipment while not hindering equipment design regardless of the installation location. VESA-compliant mounting holes (100 × 100

mm) are available, and an optional attachment enables DIN rail mounting. Choose the installation method that best suits your needs.

 USB Type-C port for improved convenience and

expandability

The product includes a Type-C port, the latest USB standard. The included Type-C port supports DP Alt Mode (DisplayPort Alternate

Mode) and USB PD (Power Delivery), enabling data communication, video output, and power supply simultaneously with a single cable.

Connecting to a docking station also makes it possible to include various other interfaces.

 Helps reduce running costs and energy consumption

This product uses the x5-E3940 low power consumption Intel Atom processor platform to achieve low power consumption while still

providing sufficient performance.

 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.

 Wireless connections to various devices via wireless

LAN and Bluetooth

The wireless model is equipped with both wireless LAN and Bluetooth. The ability to connect to various peripheral devices wirelessly

makes the product ideal for use as an IoT gateway and for edge computing.

 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 M.2 SSD with WF function

will relieve the concern about the writing limits to the M.2 SSD and prevent an unintentional system alteration.

 "Power failure protection system" features power-off

without OS shutdown

Equipped with the "Power failure protection system" function that protects data and prohibits writing to storage in the event of power

failure *2. Along with the lockdown (disk writing suppression) function of Windows IoT Enterprise, power can be safely turned off without

a shutdown process. Moreover, file system damage or data damage caused by sudden power failure can be avoided.

 CONTEC-customized BIOS provides useful utility

Useful utility of BIOS *3 customized by CONTEC is provided. The "CONTEC Fast Boot" achieves Windows startup in 8 seconds. *4

The "Disk Copy" function provides secure disk backup at the BIOS level, and also supports backup in file format or compressed file format.

We also offer the CONTEC tools “BIOS update tool” for updating BIOS. *5

*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.

*2 Only the M.2 SSD 128GB (TLC) model is compatible with the " Power failure protection system “.

*3 For details, see each setting in the [BIOS Setup] section.

*4 It is the actual measured value when Windows 10 and HORM function are enabled at the factory.

Time may vary depending on configuration. Note that TXE, TPM, Network Stack, and SMART Self Test are not supported when the

CONTEC Fast Boot is enabled.

*5 Contact your retailer for more information.

1. FCC PART 15 Class A Notice

NOTE

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,

pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used

in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case

the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

FCC WARNING

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void

the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Part15 Subpart E

Compliance with FCC requirement 15.407(c)

Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is the passed down through the MAC,

through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets are

initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF

transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only

while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words, this device

automatically discontinue transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or

operational failure. Frequency Tolerance: 20 ppm

Part15 Subpart C

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or

transmitter. This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled

environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines. This equipment should be

installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20cm or more away from person’s body.

2. EN55032 Class A Notice

Warning:

Operation of this equipment in a residential environment could cause radio interference.

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.
