Power supply Power Supply The power supply can be connected to all conventional power supply networks. It automatically adjusts itself to the particular voltage and is fan-cooled. The power output of the power pack is maximum 304 W. The Power Supply Unit (PSU) carries the 80plus certificate. This means that the PSU will reach an efficiency of at least 80% with each a load of 20%, 50% or 100%.
Power supply At the front side of the box you will find the ON button which will turn on the system. The system is automatically switched off, when the operating system is shut down. Pushing (approx. 5 seconds) the ON button at any time will shut down the system. The proper function of the ON button is defined by the settings of the operating system and the BIOS. The power cord receptacle, and the power socket for the printer are located on the back of the BEETLE system.
Power supply DC24V (Modular Printer) POS printers can be powered by this 24VDC output port. Maximum available power is 3 amperes. A connecting cable with a HOSIDEN plug is required for this. ! WARNING Connect only cables to the 24V connector which are marked with DP-1 or DP-2. Do not connect the HOSIDEN plug when the system is turned on, this can lead to an automatically reboot of the system.
Power supply Power consumption The POS system is usually not disconnected from the mains. The energy consumption is therefore directly depending on the operating state. All measurements is based on a system configuration of 512MB RAM, 80GB 3.5" 7200rpm SATA-HDD, analog flat screen with 1024x768x16 screen resolution, WOL enabled, Windows XP Professional operating system.
System Unit System Unit Always make sure that the system is switched off when you do cabling works. Connecting peripherals with the system switched on is not allowed (exception: USB devices).
System Unit Audio (MIC, Line-out) The two audio ports can be identified by the colour of the jack. Light-green is for Line-out and pink is for the Microphone. Mini-DIN (Keyboard & Mouse) The BEETLE /i8A has two 6-pin mini-DIN jack for connecting a PS/2 keyboard and mouse. Make sure that the connector is plugged firmly into the socket to prevent malfunctioning. Power is supplied to the keyboard/mouse via the socket.
System Unit USB (Universal Serial Bus)-A, USB 2.0 You can connect several USB peripheral devices to the USB or powered USB interface (12V or 24V). NOTE Only connect devices equipped with a shielded cable to the USB interface. RJ45 (LAN) The system can be connected to a network (LAN) from the POS terminal back panel. left LED Green (blinking) right LED Yellow (blinking) NOTE With running network connection (Network cable connection ON, e.g.

Storage media Connect both cables to the hard disk. Insert the drive holder. Make sure that the buffers are corresponding to the stampings in the base plate (see arrows). Carefully tilt the hard disk carrier into its original position. Make sure that the drive holder will not pinch the cables. The metal tangs snap in place. Close the cover and connect the main plugs. Now you can switch on the system.
Optional Add-On Optional Add-on The I/O layout in the area for the Optional Add-on boards is one of the two kinds shown below depending on the category your POS terminal belongs to. The currently supported Add-On boards are powered USB Hub and powered COM Hub.
Optional Add-On Powered USB Hub There are two 12V and one 24V USB interfaces on an optional available board. 12V 12V 24V You can connect or disconnect USB devices during operation of your BEETLE, provided that these devices comply with the specifications according to usb.org. Other peripheral devices with higher power requirement (such as Powered USB printer) should be connected to or disconnected from your BEETLE system only after the BEETLE has been switched off.
Optional Add-On Powered COM Hub - COM5*,6*,7* The standard system can be configured with three additional COM* interfaces via USB-to-Serial hub. Scanners, customer and operator displays without own power supply are connected to these serial interfaces. The interface connection is a 9-pin D-sub jack. Make sure that the connector for the customer display is screwed firmly to the socket to prevent possible malfunctioning. Power is supplied via this jack.
Appendix Starting up the system The configuration label shows you the equipment included in your modular BEETLE /i8A system. The label is located at the underside of the BEETLE /i8A. Start and runup behaviour After installing the BEETLE /i8A, switch on the POS system using the ON/OFF button on the front panel and the power switch on the power supply. The system first performs an automatic self-test to test its basic functions. For example, you may see the following on the monitor: Phoenix – AwardBIOS v6.
Appendix The system then determines the medium from which the operating system and POS application are to be booted. Each medium is assigned a logical drive according to the configuration of your BEETLE /i8A. The following media can be assigned a drive: Network Hard disk CD-ROM The logical drives are designated C: and D: The network is always assigned to the C: drive during the runup procedure. The hard disk can be assigned to the C: or D: drive.
