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.
*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.

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.
