This product is a fanless computer for embedded applications. It features an Intel Atom pr ocessor 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 alm os t 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 compar ed with the pre vious generation's archi t e c t ure. This "resource-saving PC" helps you
design mor e compact, ener gy efficien t equipmen t 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 stora g e and is fanless to ensure a totally spindleless design that simplifies mai n tenance.
Embedded-type CPU have b een 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 av a ilable in the following 5 models:
- Base model with Intel Atom Processor E3845 1.91GHz
BX-956SD-DC700000 (Memory 4GB, ECC, without OS, withou t CFast)
- OS-installed model with Intel Atom Processor E3845 1.91GHz
BX-956SD-DC731314 (Memory 4GB, ECC, Windows Embedded Standard 7 RUNTIME P 32bit
BX-956SD-DC761314 (Memory 4GB, ECC, Windows Embedded Standard 7 RUNTIME P 32bit
BX-956SD-DC771314 (Memory 4GB, ECC, Windows Embedded Standard 7 RUNTIME P 32bit
(Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean), CFast Card (Q-MLC) 16GB)
BX-956SD-DC 781724 (Memory 4GB, ECC, Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB 2016 64bit
(Japanese, English, Chi nese, Korean), CFast Card (Q-MLC) 32GB)
- Contributing to redu ction of running cost and promotion of energy efficiency
It adopts the low-power platform with Intel
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 VCCI, FCC, CE,
and furthermore, its s afety has been certified to meet the UL standard for Eu rope and the U.S.
- Slitless/f anless des ign that redu ces mainten ance work
This product's spindleless design eliminates the heat dissipating slit and CPU fan and adopts CF ast card
for the storage. There is no need to worry about the i ntrusion of dust or foreign objects, and the use of
parts that degrade over time is minimized to fac ilitate maintenance.
- Remote power managemen t function to reduce operation tasks
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.
- 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 x 1, 1000BASE-T x 2, USB3.0 x 1, USB2.0 x 5,
serial (RS-232C) x 2, DIO x 1.
It has two CFast card slots, providing the ability to separate data from th e operating system, as well as the
convenience of being able to use one slot for system s tartup and the other for maintenance or for taking
home system lo g s or collect ed data.
- Falling-off prevention tools and fixing 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 loc king mechanism, such as USB cable, and with hardware to properly mount and
avoid falling out of CFast card.

Processor E3845 that realizes lower power
- Safety design required for embedded applications
For Windows Embedded Standard installed model or Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB 2016 installed
model, it is possible to use the WF*1 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 th e CFast card and prevent an unintentional system alteration.
*1 EWF (Enhanced Write Filter) is a function of Windows Embedded St andard. U WF (U nified Wr ite Fi lter) is a function of Windows 10

- Set a strong password.
⇒Combined with upper and lowercase letters, and numbers so that it cannot be easily analogized
by others.
- Change the password periodically.
- Disable unnecessary network services and functions.
- Restrict access to the network with network devices.
- Restrict p o r ts to be released on the netw o r k with network devices.
- Create a closed network connection using such as dedicated network or VPN
