    PC. 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.

  • Page 9: Supported Os

    In addition, the use of a CONTEC-customized BIOS (mfd. by Award) allows support to be provided at the BIOS level. Structure free from mechanical moving parts (Windows Embedded Standard-installed model) The use of a CF card or a SSD for the storage device has eliminated any moving parts, improving the levels of the environment resistance (ambient temperature, impact, vibration), reliability and quietness.
