1. Introduction
About the Product
This product is a fan-less embedded computer (BOX-PC (R)) packaged in a slim chassis of 25mm.
IPC-BX950T1 series, which have the 1.20GHz ultra low voltage Intel (R) Core (TM) Duo processor,
945GME chip set, and 1GB DDR2 SDRAM memory, achieve a high-level computing and drawing
ability.
IPC-BX950T2 series have the 1.06GHz ultra low voltage Celeron (R) M processor, 945GME chip set,
and 512MB DDR2 SDRAM memory.
IPC-BX950T3 series, which have the 1.66GHz ultra low voltage Intel (R) Core (TM) Duo processor,
945GME chip set, and 1GB DDR2 SDRAM memory, achieve a high-level computing and drawing
ability.
Adopting air-cooling system using a large heat sink (fan-less) and CF card as its storage device (bootable),
this product achieves high levels of reliability and quietness. It also includes a variety of extended
interface such as 1000BASE-T, USB2.0, or serial.
Embedded-type CPU and chip set have been adopted. The use of readily available parts ensures the ease
of the use of the product. In addition, the use of a Contec-customized BIOS allows support to be
provided at the BIOS level.
BOX-PC (R) series is available in the following six models :
- Base model with Core Duo Processor 1.20GHz
IPC-BX950T1-DC500 (DDR2 SDRAM 1GB, without OS, CF)
- OS-installed base model with Core Duo Processor 1.20GHz
IPC-BX950T1-DC55F (DDR2 SDRAM 1GB, Windows XP Embedded, CF 2GB)
- Base model with Celeron M Processor
IPC-BX950T2-DC400 (DDR2 SDRAM 512MB, without OS, CF)
- OS-installed base model with Celeron M Processor
IPC-BX950T2-DC45F (DDR2 SDRAM 512MB, Windows XP Embedded, CF 2GB)
- Base model with Core Duo Processor 1.66GHz
IPC-BX950T3-DC500 (DDR2 SDRAM 1GB, without OS, CF)
- OS-installed base model with Core Duo Processor 1.66GHz
IPC-BX950T3-DC55F (DDR2 SDRAM 1GB, Windows XP Embedded, CF 2GB)
Features
- The 25mm thick of slim chassis [256(W) x 183(D) x 25(H)] that can be installed to a 35mm-wide space
A high performance embedded computer packaged in 25mm slim chassis [256(W) x 183(D) x 25(H)] that
can be installed anywhere you want. It can be installed to a 35mm-wide space between walls, inside of
the wall, or on the back of LCD display using the provided attachment fittings. (It is also possible to
attach to the VESA standard 75 x 75, 100 x 100, 200 x 100, 200 x 200, 400 x 200mm using the optional
fittings.)

- Adoption of 945GME Chipset to allow the mounting of Intel Core Duo / Celeron M processor
Adopting the Intel (R) 945GME, ICH7M-DH chip set, IPC-BX950T1 series achieve a high-level
computing and drawing ability by using the 1.20GHz (FSB 533MHz) ultra low voltage Intel (R) Core
(TM) Duo processor. This product is ideal for the content delivery through the large display. It also
has 1GB memory.
Adopting the Intel (R) 945GME, ICH7M-DH chip set, IPC-BX950T2 series have the 1.06GHz (FSB
533MHz) ultra low voltage Celeron (R) M processor. This product is ideal for the content delivery
through the large display. It also has 512MB memory.
Adopting the Intel (R) 945GME, ICH7M-DH chip set, IPC-BX950T3 series achieve a high-level
computing and drawing ability by using the 1.66GHz (FSB 667MHz) ultra low voltage Intel (R) Core
(TM) Duo processor. This product is ideal for the content delivery through the large display. It also
has 1GB memory.
- The extended interface such as Dual LAN, USB2.0, or Serial
It has a variety of extended interface such as 1000BASE-T x 2, USB2.0 x 4, serial (RS-232C) x 2.
It has two CF card slots that can use for OS and data. They are very useful because you can use one slot
for system start-up and the other for maintenance, system log, or taking away the collected data. It also
has a LVDS interface as well as a general-purpose analog RGB to display in double screens.
- Safety design required for embedded applications
Unnecessary trouble can be avoided by the use of clamps for prevention of cable disconnection and the
use of metal fittings for prevention of CF card disconnection. Retention of CMOS data by EEPROM
allows the system to start up even when the battery has run out. For Windows XP Embedded installed
model, it is possible to use the EWF*1 function of OS. It is designed for safety required for embedding
purpose, for example, prohibiting unwanted writing to the CF card with EWF function will relieve the
concern about the writing limits to the CF card and prevent an unintentional system alteration.
*1 EWF (Enhanced Write Filter) is a function specific to Windows XP Embedded that protects the disk from being actually written by
redirecting the writing to RAM.
- The adoption of a fan-less, CF card configuration providing high levels of reliability and quietness
It achieves the air-cooling system (fan-less) by using a large heat sink. It also achieves a high-level
reliability and quietness by adopting CF card (bootable) as its storage device.
- A wide range of power supplies (12 - 24VDC) supported
As the product supports a wide range of power (12 - 24VDC), it can be used in a variety of power
environments.
Supported OS
- Windows XP Embedded
