4. Features

 Contributing to reduction of running cost and

promotion of energy efficiency

With the low power consumption platform Intel Atom® processor E3940, this product achieves low power consumption while ensuring

adequate performance.

 "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 10 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 CONTEC'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*1 of BIOS customized by CONTEC is implement. The "CONTEC Fast Boot" achieves Windows startup in 10 seconds.*2

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.*3

 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.

 VESA standard support

Conforming to the VESA standard (100×100), the product can be set on the various types of arms or stands.

 Adopting a 5-wire resistive film touch-screen holds high

durability

It has a 5-wire resistive film touch-screen that maintains high durability. The operating life is long-lasting

of 36 million times.*4

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

*2 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.

*3 Contact your retailer for more information.

“Burn-in” may occur if the same display is retained for a long time. Avoid this by periodically

switching the display so that the same display is not maintained for a long time.

* Burn-In : Phenomenon characterized by a TFT display as a result of long-time display of

the same screen where a shadow-like trace persists because electric charge remains in the

LCD element even after the patterns are changed.

 This product's specifications allow the device to be rebooted from the BIOS screen during

startup. This has no effect on operation after the OS boots.

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.
