Version 0.4 August 20, 2008
Overview
The 650 from J2 is the most high performance integrated Point of Sale computer
available to date. This amazingly versatile unit can be configured as either a low power
fan less thin client terminal; as a midrange thick client term inal; or even as a Dual Core
high speed server with RAID. Product versatility and reliability are the key strengths of
this 650 system.
This ingenious integrated touch screen computer has special “all in the head” design
built-in, which means it can be used as a counter top unit, a wall-mount or a polemounted computer. You will find that both the counter top base and VESA/ wall mount
brackets are supplied as standard equipment with the 650.
There are many processor variants available, the 650 comes standard with an Intel 1.6
GHz Celeron 420 Conroe Core processor. This system board uses the Intel LGA775
socket and it can be upgraded or ordered with a wide range of single or dual core
processors.
The 650 unit also has a very unique feature when using the 420 processor, this is called
the “Green Mode”. This mode is set by a simple BIOS setup item, and when the unit is in
this “Green Mode” the processor speed is reduced to 1GHz and fans are turned off.
This, in effect, turns the 650 into a fan less system for thin-client use and also reduces the
650 power consumption by 25%, thereby reducing the 650 carbon footprint which is
already very small.
Accessibility is key to machine maintenance and upgradeability, the following is a list of
important 650 features:
1. Upgrades to the memory modules can be easily done by simply removing two
screws on the back cover.
2. A complete motherboard upgrade can be carried out in less than 2 minutes.
3. The two quick change hard disk drives are easily accessible, housed on a slidein drive bay that allows the drives to be hot swappable.
4. The footprint of the J2 650 is particularly compact making it ideal for the space
conscious retailer.
The 650 offers thick or thin-client or server configurations which support standard
Microsoft operating systems Vista, XP, WePOS, CE.NET and XPe, further
demonstrating its versatility. The 650 is equally proficient with the many flavors of
Linux.

Unique Features
The 650 truly has some unique features not hitherto seen on an integrated touch screen
computer before. These features allow for a great deal of versatility in how the 650 can
be configured and used. A quick list of unique features is as follows:
Intel’s Desktop Processor Socket LGA 775
By using the new generation of Intel’s green processors and chipsets, a very wide
range of processors can be used in the 650 system. From a Celeron single core
processor running fan less at 1 GHz to a 2.667GHz Core 2 Duo with 1GHz FSB
and 4MB cache, the performance range is truly unique.
Most POS computers use Intel’s Mobile processor and chipset to keep heat and
power down. This is fine but the performance is lower and the cost is higher for
Mobile processor solutions. By taking advantage of J2 company’s and partners’
vast experience with notebook, desktop, and POS computer designs, we are able
to combine features of all three for an optimal POS system design. The result is a
POS system that can utilize a desktop chipset that draws very little power and
generates a low amount of heat, similar to mobile chipsets and processors.
Notebook quality components are used in the processor, chipset, and power
supply circuit, which allow greatly for reduced heat generation and minimal
power usage. Additionally, the 650 takes full advantage of the low power
features built into the Intel processor and chipset to further reduce heat.
Hot Swappable RAID/ Dual Hard Drives
The 650 is the first integrated POS system on the market to offer a hot swappable
RAID feature. The two internal 2.5 inch SATA hard drives can be configured as a
RAID array which gives true fault tolerance
not been available on an integrated POS device before!
Green Mode / Fan less Operation
By changing one setting in the BIOS, the 650 can be configured to function as a
fan-less POS system. In this mode the standard 1.6GHz processor and chipset run
in a reduced power mode which means that the two fans are off and the 650 is
convection cooled. The system performance in green mode is greater than other
fan-less POS systems on the market, with the 650 benchmarking near the same
performance as a 1.3GHz Celeron M processor based system. This patent pending
feature is unique to J2.

Automatic LCD Brightness Control
Another innovative feature of the 650 is its use of a light sensor to control the
LCD brightness. A light sensor is built into the unit and can detect when a room is
darkened. It will automatically dim the LCD so that it is not too bright. This
patent pending feature is also unique to J2.
UPS
Not your ordinary UPS, the J2 650 UPS is a DC, not an AC UPS. The UPS fits
conveniently into the base of the unit. Unlike an AC UPS the J2 UPS makes the
650 work more like a notebook computer. In addition to running the 650 for up to
two hours, the UPS will run all the POS peripherals attached to the 650, including
the printer. Because of the unique design of the J2 UPS and power supply, the
need for special AC power conditioning devices is eliminated.
Printer Power Port
The 24 volt Printer Power Port can power most POS printers on the market,
including the popular Epson line of printers. When used along with the J2 UPS, if
a power outage should occur, the POS terminal can still operate and print receipts
for up to two hours. Also, when the 650 is turned off the printer is turned off also.
This is very useful when the auto power on and off features of the 650 is used.
Cooling System
Great attention was paid to the thermal solution of the 650; it is truly a unique
feature. The 650 can run as a fan less or fan-cooled system. Because of the very
wide range of processors supported, thermal loads can range from 20 watts to as
high as 80 watts. The 650 was designed to handle these thermal loads while still
being super quiet. Two smart fans are used in conjunction with an Embedded
Controller (EC) to ensure that the fans run at the lowest possible speed while still
providing proper cooling. Fan speed changes are controlled to produce the
smallest acoustical signature possible. The 650 also includes a JAM-FAN mode.
If the fan does not spin up when it should, the fan turns on to full power to
dislodge any dust that may be jamming the fan! The 650 fans are the type used in
Blade Servers and have a speed range from 2500~13500rpm at very high torque.
Versatility
The word versatility is very much over used, but it is the correct word to describe
the most unique feature of the 650. The combination of all the 650 unique features
allows for the 650 to fit many roles. The 650 is not just one product, but a full
product range all in one system. From fan less thin client to Core 2 Duo RAID
Server - the 650 does it all.

System
Configurations
The 650 can be ordered or upgraded to many possible configurations. Selecting the right
combination of memory, processor, hard drive(s) and software drivers can dramatically
change the performance of the 650 system. For a lot of users the standard 650 1.6GHz
processor and 512MB of memory is fine, but some applications require a lot more horse
power.
J2 will be happy to help you determine what you may require from the 650 in the most
cost effective way. More memory may be added to get the performance needed, or
sometimes a dual core processor and dual HDD with RAID are needed. The 650 can do it
all, low end to high end.
Processor Support
The 650 supports a very wide range of Intel processors. Each provides a different price
performance level. Celeron single core, Celeron dual core, Pentium dual core and Core 2
Duo with processor speeds from 1.6 GHz to 2.667 GHz are all supported by the 650.
The 650 comes standard with the Intel single core 1.6 GHz Celeron 420 Conroe Core
processor but can be ordered with a different processor type. The processor can be easily
upgraded by a qualified technician. The 650 uses the Intel defined LGA775 socket. Not
all LGA775 socket processors work in the 650 so please see the supported processor list
at the end of this section. Intel is constantly adding new processors so please check with
J2 for any additions since publication of this manual.
The copper heat sink, cooling fans, and fan controller (shown below) are designed to keep
everything running cool, quiet, and reliably with the supported processors.

Hard Disks
Two 2.5 inch SATA hard drives (HDD) are supported. These drives can be configured as
standard hard drives or as a RAID array. The SATA interface can support data transfer
rates up to 3.0 Gb/s and supports AHCI and Hot Swapping of hard drives.
The HDDs can easily be accessed by removing a panel on the left side of the unit. HDDs
can be installed or removed in seconds by removing one screw. A carrying tray (two of
which are supplied with the 650) clips onto a new drive without tools. The drive can now
easily be slid into the drive bay. In a RAID 1 configuration a drive can be hot swapped,
removed, or inserted with the power on (see section on RAID setup).

Compact Flash
The 650 has one Type I/II Compact Flash (CF) memory slot. This slot is only for IDE
mode CF devices and is easily accessed on the left side of the unit. The CF card is
mapped to a SATA port and supports PIO Mode 0-4. The CF card is normally used for
thin client configurations using XPe, CE, WEPOS, or Linux operating systems.
Compact Flash access panel
Touch Screen
The 650RT uses a five-wire touch screen rated at 35 million touches per point. The
650RT touch screen was designed to easily be changed, normally in less than ten
minutes. The resistive technology is very responsive and is not affected by liquids, dirt,
or other foreign matter, unlike IR or SAW touch screens. As with all J2 designed
products using resistive touch screens, the 650 includes a water tight gasket for spill
resistance.
The 650ST unit uses a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology touch screen. The
SAW touch screen has no known failure mode-- it does not “wear out.” This screen is
tempered glass and does not reduce the brightness of the LCD panel. When operating in
a very high use environment, SAW is the recommended touch screen technology.
Depending on operating environment and usage, both the Resistive and SAW touch
screens have strengths and weaknesses. J2 offers both touch screen technologies on the
650.

Ethernet Connection
The 650 uses the Realtek 8111C Gigabit Ethernet controller. The Ethernet connector is
located in the cable well, as shown below. The Ethernet controller supports Wake on
LAN, the BIOS supports a PXE boot ROM as well. There are two LEDs on the LAN
connector: the Green LED lights up when the LINK signal is present and the Amber
LED lights comes on when there is LAN activity.
Kensington Security Slot
There are two Kensington Security Slots (lock slots) on the 650. (Please see below).
One is located on the head in the cable well, and one is located on the inside of the base.
The Kensington locks are normally used as a deterrent to prevent opportunistic theft.
Most retail locks will work with the 650, however please check to see if a lock fits, as not
all do.

Printer Power Port
The Printer Power Port allows an industry standard POS printer to be powered from the
650 and eliminates the need for a separate external power supply for the printer. Only one
AC power point will be needed to run the unit and the printer.
The Printer Power Port supplies 24 VDC 2.5 amps and 3.5amp surge current which will
run most POS printers on the market. The power cable for this port is supplied standard
with the 650 unit. The Printer Power Port will also supply power to a printer even when
running on the optional UPS. When the 650 is powered down, then power to the printer is
turned off. (photos below)

Cash Drawer Ports
The 650 is equipped standard with two Cash Drawer ports. These ports are located in the
cable well and use the industry standard RJ-11 connector and pin out (illustrated below).
Cash Drawer Ports
Cash Drawer Pin Assignment
The application may address the Cash Drawer port in a number of ways. They are:
1) Using the J2 supplied OPOS drivers for Vista, XP, WEPOS and XP Embedded.
2) Using the J2 supplied Virtual COM port for CE.NET, XP, WEPOS and XPe.
3) Direct access to the I/O port that controls the firing of the cash drawer and the I/O port
for reading the drawer status.
The Virtual COM port driver is standard on Windows CE.NET and the cash drawer
appears as COM5.
To open Cash Drawer One: Send a bell character to the COM5 serial port. (The bell
character is the ASCII 07 hex character “Control G.”)
To open Cash Drawer Two: Send an ESC character, then a bell character to the COM5
serial port. The open/close status of the drawer may be obtained by reading the status

bits of COM5, and the drawer open/close status will be reflected on the CTS and RI bits,
either bit may be used. This virtual COM port driver is designed to work the same as
most serial cash drawers so that drivers for a serial cash drawer should work if mapped to
the correct COM port, normally COM5 in the 650 system.
The cash drawer can directly be accessed through two I/O ports, 280 hex and 281 hex.
Port 280 hex is an output only port and fires the cash drawer when toggled.
Port 281 hex is and input only port and read the status of the cash drawer.

Power Supply
The 650 uses a notebook type power supply that is normally mounted in the base of the
unit. The power supply is rated with an output of 19 VDC 7.1 Amps and has an input
rating of 100-240VAC at 50~60Hz 2.2Amps maximum. The power supply typically has
an efficiency rating of 85% under light loads and 90% under heavy loading. The power
supply connector is a four pin locking type that plugs into the system’s power input
connector located in the cable well.
