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.
◆Features

consumption while ensuring sufficient performance.
-Design that meets the safety standard
This product, as in our other products, is designed to comply with the safety standard of FCC, CE.
-Slim design facilitates design of compact equipment
This product employs a fanless construction (design does not use fan motors as these components
have a finite lifetime) with CONTEC's unique heat dissipation technology and features a compact
case that is only 72.4mm*1 deep, which facilitates the design of compact equipment. the mounting
structure conforms to VESA standard 75 x 75mm and can be mounted on a LCD arm.
*1 Dimension of PT-S959SDLX series not including the mounting bracket.
- High definition supported DVI external display output
This product has the up to 1920 x 1200 pixels DVE 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.
-Remote power management function to reduce operation tasks
This product supports system startup by external device over network (Wake-on-LAN), by general
purpose input (power on by GPI), and by modem reception (power on by ring). It encourages
significant labor saving in operation.

disk replacement.
- 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
environments. The separately available AC adapter adds support for 100 - 240VAC power.
