PT-S959SDHX / PT-S959SDHXC Series User’s Manual 1
1. Introduction
About the Product
This product is a fanless Panel-PC for embedded applications. It features an Intel Atom processor
E3845 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 has extension interfaces such as DVI-I, 1000BASE-T, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, DIO, and serial. It employs
a CFast card for storage and is fanless to ensure a totally spindleless design that simplifies 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.

PT-S959SDHX / PT-S959SDHXC Series User’s Manual 3
- Safety design required for embedded applications
For Windows Embedded Standard installed model, it is possible to use the EWF*2 function of OS. It is
designed for safety required for embedding purpose, for example, prohibiting unwanted writing to the
CFast card with EWF function will relieve the concern about the writing limits to the CFast card and
prevent an unintentional system alteration.
*2 EWF (Enhanced Write Filter) is a function specific to Windows Embedded Standard that protects the disk from being actually
written by redirecting the writing to RAM.
- 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

management.
- ACPI v2.0 compliant
- APM v1.2 compliant
- Support hardware automatic wake-up
Power Requirements
Your system requires a clean, steady power source for reliable performance of the high frequency CPU on
the product, the quality of the power supply is even more important. For the best performance makes sure
your power supply provides a range of 10.8 V minimum to 31.2 V maximum DC power source.
◆Power Consumption
For typical configurations, the CPU card is designed to operate with at least a 60W power supply. The
power supply must meet the following requirements:
- Rise time for power supply: 2 ms - 30 ms
The following table lists the power supply’s tolerances for DC voltages:
Table 2.4. DC voltage tolerance
