low-power, dual core processor.
This product has a fanless and slitless case, uses CFast for storage, and has a completely spindleless
design.
This product is equipped with various expansion interfaces such as 1000BASE-T, USB 2.0, and serial.
This product is the successor to the BX955 and has achieved high calculation capabilities such as an
improved CPU processing capability that is twice that of its predecessor. In addition, this product assists
our customers in their implementations of plans to reduce running costs and energy usage. Thanks to
its installation compatibility, this product can be swapped into existing systems.
Its rich variety of expansion interfaces, such as 1000BASE-T, USB 2.0, and serial, and its usage of
CFast cards for storage enable this product to be designed in a completely spindleless manner.
This product is available in the following 4 models :

1. Introduction
- Serving the downsizing of equipment, a small footprint design for A5-sized installation area
This product adopts space-saving design of 182(W) x 155(D) x 35(H), permitting placement in the
smaller, A5-sized space with opening of only 50mm. It largely serves downsizing of your equipment,
fits any area with the aestheticness kept. It is also possible to attach to the VESA standard 75 x 75, 100
x 100mm using the optional fittings.
- 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 two CFast 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 two 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.
- 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 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
For Windows Embedded Standard installed model, it is possible to use the EWF*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 the CFast card and
prevent an unintentional system alteration.
*1 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.
Supported OS
- Windows Embedded Standard 2009
- Windows Embedded Standard 7

[MB]) × 60,000 times) / (number of management blocks rewritten each time)
Example: If a 4 MB file is created and is rewritten once every 10 seconds
Rewritable lifetime = ((3577/2) × 60000)) / 2 = 53,655,000 (number of times)
≒
Lifetime = 53,655,000 / ((60/10) × 60 × 24 × 365)
