4. Features

 Ultra-compact design about as large as A5 size

contributes to space-saving

With a space-saving design of a thickness of 30.3 mm, a width of 182 mm, and a depth of 155 mm that is about A5 size.

 Operation capable in a wide temperature range

between -20 and + 70°C

Achieves stable operation in a wide temperature range of -20 to +70°C *1

 "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. 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.

 High-security design contributes to a highly reliable

system

The latest security functions such as TPM2.0 and Secure Boot, as well as CONYEC's original functions including the USB Boot Protect are

provided. This product is designed with the high security required for industrial applications in mind.

 CONTEC-customized BIOS provides useful utility

Useful utility of BIOS*2 customized by CONTEC is provided. The "CONTEC Fast Boot" achieves Windows startup in 10 seconds.*3

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.*4

 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.

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.
