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.

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.
