1. Introduction About the Product
This product is a fanless PANEL-PC for embedded use based on Intel (R) Atom processor N270 and a 945GSE (GMA950 incorporated) chipset. Adoption of the long life power saving LED and Intel (R) Atom processor offers low power consumption while ensuring sufficient performance. The “resource-saving PC” contributes downsizing and power-saving of equipment to reduce your running cost and to promote energy efficiency.
It has extended interfaces such as 1000BASE-T, USB2.0, and serial. It adopts CF card for the storage and is fanless, which demonstrate the totally spindleless design that simplifies the maintenance.
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 CONTEC-customized BIOS allows support to be provided at the BIOS level.
According to your application, two types (the panel mount type and the open frame type) are available.
This product is available in the following 1 model:
- WES-installed model and panel mount type equipped with Intel Atom Processor N270 1.60GHz PT-955LXC-DC5311 (12.1 inch, LCD (XGA), Memory 1GB,
Windows Embedded Standard 2009 (Japanese version), CF 2GB)

Features

- Contributing to reduction of running cost and promotion of energy efficiency
Power consumption is about 30% less compared to the conventional standard model (IPC-PT700HX-AC426). Due to adoption of the low power consumption LED backlight and Intel (R) Atom processor N270, low power consumption, approximately 41W*1 even at a high load condition, is achieved at the same time sufficient performance is ensured, contributing to the lesser running cost.
Median value of power consumption of a standard model PT-955LXC-DC5311 with input power of
*1
24VDC under unloaded and fully-loaded conditions.
- 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-displays 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
This product supports timed/automated system start-up (Resume By Alarm). For example, it enables unattended operation, such as starting to show information of an establishment in unison at opening time. Also, 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 CF card slots
It has a variety of extended interface such as 1000BASE-T x 2, USB2.0 x 4, serial (RS-232C) x 2. It has 2 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.

1. Introduction
- Falling-off prevention tools and cable clamps provided to avoid trouble caused by disconnected cable This product stays trouble-free, being equipped with USB removal prevention fitting and cable clamp for connectors with no locking mechanism, such as USB cable, and with hardware to properly mount and avoid falling out of CF 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, it is possible to use the EWF*2 function of OS. It is designed for safety required for embedding purpose, for exam ple, pr ohibiting 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.
*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 100VAC power. *3
*3 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.

5. BIOS Setup

Introduction

This chapter discusses Award’s Setup program built into the FLASH ROM BIOS. The Setup program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This special information is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.
The rest of this chapter is intended to guide you through the process of configuring your system using Setup.

Starting Setup

The Award BIOS is immediately activated when you first power on the computer. The BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an operating system on one of the disks and then launch and turn control over to the operating system.
While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways: 1 By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or 2 By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen
during the POST (Power On Self-Test).
Press DEL to enter SETUP.
If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON. If USB Keyboard Support is set to “Enabled”, restart can be initiated by pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys simultaneously. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to.
Press F1 to continue, DEL to enter SETUP

Using Setup

In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to select, use the Page Up and Page Down keys to change entries, press <F1> for help and press <Esc> to quit. The following table provides more detail about how to navigate in the Setup program using the keyboard.

Getting Help

Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press <Esc> or the F1 key again.

In Case of Problems

If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer no longer is able to boot, the AwardBIOS™ supports an override to the CMOS settings which resets your system to its defaults.
The best advice is to only alter settings which you thoroughly understand. To this end, we strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully chosen by both Award and your systems manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the chipset setup has the potential for causing you to use the override.

A Final Note About Setup

The information in this chapter is subject to change without notice.

Virus Warning

When enabled, you receive a warning message if a program (specifically, a virus) attempts to write to the boot sector or the partition table of the hard disk drive. You should then run an anti-virus program. Keep in mind that this feature protects only the boot sector, not the entire hard drive.
CAUTION
Many disk diagnostic programs that access the boot sector table can trigger the virus warning
message. If you plan to run such a program, we recommend that you first disable the virus warning.

Select Enabled to reduce the amount of time required to run the power-on self-test (POST). A quick POST skips certain steps. We recommend that you normally disable quick POST. Better to find a problem during POST than lose data during your work.
USB Device Wait
When USB devices, which need longer time to be booted, are connected, the boot possibly can not be processed in normal condition. To address such cases, this setting specifies the waiting time for BIOS and delays the start of the access to the USB devices. Therefore, the boot will be delayed by the specified waiting time.

CF Backup
Selecting this option allows you to launch a tool for creating the backup of CF and restoring it. This can be used to backup your current environment as it is. For details, please refer to the explanation below (*1).

*1 About the CF Backup Feature To use the CF Backup feature, a separately-available CF for backup is required. The CF for backup must be the CF of the same model
or larger capacity. Using the CF that is not our optional parts can be the cause of unidentified problems and it must be ensured that the CF works with your system without problem before using this feature.
Also, before performing backup, read the licensing terms of your operating system carefully so that the backup is carried out within the scope
of given license. Followings are the steps to use the CF Backup feature. <Using the CF Backup Feature>
(1) Connect keyboard to the box computer. (2) Insert the CF and the CF for backup to the respective CF slot before turning the power on.(3) Press the “DEL” key before the

PT-955LXC-DC5311 User’s manual
46
5. BIOS Setup
If backup is performed to a same type CF as the current CF, the contents of the backup CF becomes the same as the current CF. Therefore the backup CF can be used as it is in place of the current CF.
If backup is performed to a CF whose capacity is larger than the current CF, the backup CF cannot be used as it is. The backed-up contents can be used after being transferred to a CF of the same type as the current CF. For the transfer procedure, refer to “How to use CF Backup function” described above.
