1. Introduction
About the Product
This product is a fanless computer for embedded applications. It features an Intel Atom processor E3845
1.91GHz chipset. Thanks to a quad-core CPU, simultaneous stable high-speed processing for four
applications is possible with four cores. This CPU also allows for computing power almost four times that
of conventional products in addition to three times the graphics performance, a significant improvement.
Moreover, power consumption has been significantly reduced, resulting in nearly double the power
efficiency compared with the previous generation's architecture. This "resource-saving PC" helps you
design more compact, energy efficient equipment to reduce running costs and promote energy efficiency.
It is equipped with extended interfaces such as DVI-I, 1000BASE-T, USB 3.0, USB 2.0, and serial
interfaces, and it is also equipped with a single PCI bus slot. It adopts CFast card for the storage and is
fanless, which demonstrate the totally spindleless design that simplifies the maintenance.
Embedded-type CPU have been adopted. The use of readily available parts ensures the ease of the use of
the product. In addition, the use of Contec-customized BIOS allows support to be provided at the BIOS
level.
This product is available in the following 3 model:
-Base model with Intel Atom Processor E3845 1.91GHz, Panel Mount type
PT-956SLXP1-DC700000
(12.1 inch touchpanel, LCD (XGA), Memory 4GB, without OS, without CFast, 1 x PCI slot)
-OS-installed model with Intel Atom Processor E3845 1.91GHz, Panel Mount type
PT-956SLXP1-DC731314
(12.1 inch touchpanel, LCD (XGA), Memory 4GB, Windows Embedded Standard 7 RUNTIME P
32bit (Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean), CFast card (SLC) 16GB, 1 x PCI slot)
PT-956SLXP1-DC781724
(12.1 inch touchpanel, LCD (XGA), Memory 4GB, Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB 2016 64bit
(Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean), CFast card (Q-MLC) 32GB, 1 x PCI slot)
Features
-Multilingual OS is adopted for globalization support
Windows Embedded Standard 7 RUNTIME P and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB that support
multiple languages of Japanese/English/Chinese/Korean are adopted as the OS installation model. As the
language on the screen can be switched, this feature is ideal for such as manufacturing sites where
multilingualization is inevitable.
-Contributing to reduction of running cost and promotion of energy efficiency
With the low power consumption platform Intel® AtomTM processor E3845, this product achieves low
power consumption while ensuring adequate performance.
-Fanless design that reduces maintenance work
This product's spindleless design eliminates the heat dissipating slit and CPU fan and adopts CFast card
for the storage. It is free from dusts and foreign objects, and the use the parts that degrades over the
years is avoided in most case, resulting in drastic alleviation of the maintenance burden.

1. Introduction
2PT-956SLXP1 User’s manual
- High definition supported DVI external display output
This product has the up to 1920 x 1080 pixels DVI external display output as standard feature. A stand-
alone two-display application which, for example, displays the screen on a big LCD TV separately from
the main LCD, can be built. Also, with the accompanying analog RGB (15 pin HD-SUB) conversion
adapter, connecting to an analog RGB display is supported.
- Remote power management function to reduce operation tasks
It supports system start-up externally via network (Wake On LAN) and modem (Power On by Ring). It
encourages significant labor saving in operation.
- Major types of peripherals are supported with rich interfaces including the two CFast card slots
It has a variety of extended interface such as DVI-I x1, 1000BASE-T x 2, USB3.0 x 1, USB2.0 x 3, serial
(RS-232C) x 2.
It has 2 CFast 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.
- Expansion slots to hold PCI bus boards.
This product has one PCI slot. Board size that can be attached is 177(L) x 107(H)[mm].
- CFast retention fitting and cable tie provided to avoid trouble caused by disconnected cable
This product stays trouble-free, being equipped with CFast card retention metal and USB removal
prevention fitting and cable tie for connectors with no locking mechanism, such as USB cable, and with
hardware to properly mount and avoid falling out of CFast card.
- Safety design required for embedded applications
Retention of CMOS data by EEPROM allows the system to start up even when the battery has run out.
For Windows Embedded Standard installed model or Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB 2016 installed
model, it is possible to use the Write Filter*1 function of OS. It is designed for safety required for
embedding purpose, for example, prohibiting unwanted writing to the CFast card with Write Filter
function will relieve the concern about the writing limits to the CFast card and prevent an unintentional
system alteration.
*1 Windows® Embedded Standard contains EWF(Enhanced Write Filter) function, and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB 2016 contains
UWF(Unified Write Filter) function. They red irect writing data into such as RAM, which stops writing in the actual disk and data can
be protected.
- A wide range of power supplies (10.8 - 31.2VDC) supported
As the product supports a wide range of power (10.8 - 31.2VDC), it can be used in a variety of power
environments. The separately available AC adapter adds support for 100VAC power.*2
*2 When using the AC adapter, limits are placed on the expansion board power supply capacity and the external device power supply
capacity.
- Touch panel enables keyboard-less operation.
These products have analog touch panel enabling mouse emulation using driver software.
Supported OS
- Windows Embedded Standard 7 RUNTIME P (Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean), 32bit
- Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB 2016 (Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean), 64bit
