Removing the Blade from the Host
There may be a requirement to remove the blade from the host (i.e. to set the COM port
voltages, add more memory capacity, etc.). If this is not done correctly, permanent
damage can be inflicted to both the blade and the host. The correct procedure for
removing the blade from the host is as follows:
a) Log out of any POS software and close any open applications.
b) Shut down your operating system (i.e. Windows) so that the blade is in standby
power mode. This is indicated by all LED’s on the front of the Retail Blade™ being
off except the POWER STANDBY green LED. A diagram of this is as follows:
c) Locate the external PSU for the Retail Blade™ and remove the power by operating
the red neon switch. At this point, the red neon switch should not be illuminated and
the POWER STANDBY LED on the Retail Blade™ will no longer be visible.
d) If you have any PCI expansion devices in the Retail Blade™, the connecting cables
to these devices will have to be removed and the two PCI bracket retaining screws
removed (if fitted). A diagram of this is as follows:
