Expansion Capabilities
The Eclipse does not contain ISA or PCI slots. Expansion takes the form of a Type II
PCMCIA Cardbus Slot, USB port(s), and three available serial ports.
PCMCIA CardBus Slot
The Eclipse Workstation includes a single Type II 32-bit PCMCIA CardBus Slot.
Established in 1995 by the Personal Computer Memory Card International
Association (PCMCIA), t he CardBus PC Car d is a 32- bit version o f the ori ginal 16- bit
PC Card standard, offering higher levels of performance.
Part of the PC Card family, a CardBus PC Card conforms to an established physical
form factor, providing a compact, rugged card that can be inserted completely within
its host workstation without any external cabling (except when the card must be
attached to a LAN, telephone line, or a wireless antenna).
Digital Visual Interface
Sound
T o dr ive the LCD panel a Digit al Visual Interface (DVI) is emplo yed. Th is hig h speed
digital connection replaces the conventional analog RGB interface to CRT monitors.
The DVI interface allows the display content to re main in a lossless digital format
from the system board graphics controller to the LCD panel. DVI offers the following
features:
•Display technology independence
•Plug and Play. If you swap a DSTN display for a TFT display on the Eclipse, this
will be detected by the Display Data Channel Interface.
•Display contrast and backlight control for DSTN panels.
•Digital and Analog support through a single connector, using a cable specific to
each application. (Analog cable currently not available).
DVI uses a Transition Minimized Differential Signalling (TMDS) protocol and
encoding algorit hm f or t he base electrical interconnection. These signals are routed to
the LCD/Touchscreen Head where they are decoded into pixel data compatible with
the LCD.
The Intel 810 Chipset supports the Audio Codec ‘97 digital audio component
specification which consists of a 2 device audio solution comprised of a digital
component, (the ICH) and a high quality analog component (the AD1819A) that
includes a Digital To Analog Converter (DAC) and Analog to Digital Converter
(ADC), mixer, and IO.
The Eclipse supports the following sound capabilities.
•PCI 2.1 bus master interface and AC-link controller
1-6 PCWS Eclipse Setup Guide

Care and Handling
The following pages offer tips for placing the workstation in an environmentally safe
location and tips for cleaning the workstation cabinet and touchscreen.
Environmental Requirements
To ensure proper operation of the equipment, consider the following guidelines for
placement of the Eclipse PC Workstation.
Dimensional data for the workstation and peripheral printers can be found in
Appendix A of this manual. Before you decide on the space each device should
occupy, take measurements and compare them to ours.
Location
Tile is the recommended floor surface for areas surrounding the workstation. If the
floor cover ing adjacent to the equipment is carpeted, an anti-static grade is
recommended. If the carpeting surrounding the area containing the equipment is not
composed of anti-static material, the use of static-discharge mats should be
considered. The recommended type of anti-static mat is one that incorporates a
grounding clip with a cable to provide a discharge path to ground.
What Is The Eclipse Workstation?
Care and Handling
Foreign Materials
WARNING:
Do not use sharp objects such as a pen or pencil to press keys
on the touchscreen as this could damage the sensing layer.
Liquid spillage can cause dama ge to the cir cuit s in the unit . Do
not place the equipment near food preparation areas, dish
racks, or water stations. The Eclipse LCD head includes a
gasket seal around the touchscreen which may afford some
protection from liquid spillage.
If any type of liquid is spilled onto the touchscreen or on the
top of the unit, turn off power as quickly as possible by
removing the AC power cord from the wall plate. Do not
reconnect the AC power cord to an outlet until it has been
determined that no spillage remains inside the un it.
PCWS Eclipse Setup Guide1-11
Page 24
What Is The Eclipse Workstation?
Care and Handling
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
The occurrence of electrostatic discharge (ESD) usually takes the form of a discharge
from the operator’s hand to cash drawers, the workstation, the magnetic stripe card
reader or other peripherals connected to the workstation.
ESD is more common in dry climates during the winter, and less common in moist
climates. The Eclipse has excellent built-in immunity to ESD in most environments.
However, tile or anti-static carpet should still be employed in areas near the
workstation.
Temperature and Humidity
The PCWS Eclipse operating temperature is between 40°F and 113°F (5°C to 45°C),
if the Celeron C850 MHz processor is installed.
The PCWS Eclipse operating temperature is between 40°F and 104°F (5°C to 40°C),
if the Penti um III 1GHz pr ocessor is ins talled.
A constant humidity between 40% and 90% is required for proper operation of the
equipment.
Before applying power to the workstation, ensure that its temperature is w ithin 15°F
(8°C) of room temperature to prevent damage to its internal circuitry.
Transporting the Workstation
When a hard disk is installed, always power down the Eclipse workstation before
transporting it, even if you are just moving it across your work surface. High density
hard drives are more susceptible to damage if subjected to a sudden physical shock
while they are operating, especially if the heads happen to be reading or writing to the
disk surface. Powering off the workstation parks the hard disk heads, allowing you to
move it without risking damage.
Cleaning The Eclipse Touchscreen and Cabinet
Instructions for cl eaning the Eclipse Cabinet and LCD/Touchscreen are described
below.
SHOCK HAZARD
Always turn off the workstation before cleaning or performing
any preventive maintenance.
LCD/Touchscreen
You can clean the touchscreen wit h any common household gl ass clean er applie d with
a clean cotton cloth. Always spray the cloth with the cleaner and then use the cloth to
clean the touchscreen.
Cabinet
Always use a chamois or clean lint-free cloth to clean the cabinet and touchscreen
surface. Do not use chemical, alcohol, or petroleum based cleaners that are not
recommended for plastics.

Operating the Eclipse
Using the Magnetic Card Reader
The card reader is mounted on the front cover of the workstation for easy access and
service. Figure 1-11 shows that you can swipe a card in either direction, with the mag
stripe facing down and towards the rear of the workstation.
Magnetic cards should always be kept dry, and away from magnets or sharp objects
that could damage the encoded inf ormat ion on the card. If a mag card is damp or wet,
or appears damaged in any way, DO NOT insert into the reader.
Figure 1-11: Using the Magnetic Card Reader
If the unit does not read the mag cards cons istently, the read head may be dirty or
contaminated. A cleaning card can be used to clean the reader head. This type of card
has a felt strip in pl ac e of the mag stripe which cle ans the head as it is swiped through
the reader.
Calibrating the Touchscreen
Calibrating the touchscreen is the process of aligning the touchscreen glass with the
underlying video display. If the touchscreen is not calibrated, the active area of the
touchscreen beneath the display may not be aligned properly or may be too small in
size.
When to Calibrate the Touchscreen
•When the video resolution changes from one setting to another (e.g, changing
from 640x480 to 800x600 or 1024x768).
•Any time the cursor does not follow the movement of your finger, or does not
reach the edges of the touchscreen.
•If the LCD/Touchscreen head has been swapped out for another unit. New
touchscreen drivers may be required. Three versions of the head are now
available:

Tips for Performing the Calibration Procedure
•Perform the calibration procedure in the position (sitting or standing) that the
touchscreen is normally used.
Calibrating the MicroTouch TouchWare Drivers
1. From the Desktop, press the MicroTouch T ouc hWare icon twice. If this is the first
power-up after the LCD/Touchscreen head has been swapped out, you may be
prompted to run the calibration procedure.
2. Select the Calibrate tab.
3. Press the Calibrate button.
oTwo calibration targets appear on the screen. A hand points to first target, in
the lower left quadrant of the screen.
oIf you press [ESC] or do not touch the screen within 20 seconds, the
calibration process aborts with no change in calibration values.
4. The hand points to the first calibration target, in the lower left corner. Position
your fingertip to completely cover the target and touch the screen without letting
go. Continue holding the touch until the message “Touch Enabled” appears.
5. Continue the procedure by repeating Step 4 on the next target.
6. When calibration is complete, a dialog box prompts you to test the calibration.
oDrag your finger across the screen and make sure the cursor follows your
movements. Touch each corner and touch along each edge of the screen to
verify that the cursor can reach the display area.
oIf you must re-calibrate, make sure to touch the targets carefully. It is possible
that you did not hold the touch long enough, or that you accidently touched
the screen in the wrong place during the calibration procedure.
Calibrating the Hampshire Touchscreen Drivers
1. From the Desktop, select Start -> Programs -> Hampshire Touchscreen Control
Panel.
2. Select the Calibration tab.
Press the [Configure] button to define the calibration type, offset, and target type

The following section describes the settings found in the Main screen and lists the
recommended default where possible. Some of the fields only appear if you have the
BIOS version noted in the heading. This documentation covers the Eclipse BIOS
version up to 1.00.22. Some fields appeared in BIOS Version 1.00.20, which was
available only on the Micros web si te. Complete BIOS releas e notes ar e provide d with
the BIOS located on the web site.
System Time:
System Date:
These fields allow you to set the system time and date. Time is entered in the 24-hour
military time format. For example, 1PM is 13:00:00, 6PM is 18:00:00, and so forth.
Use the -/+ keys to select a value, then press enter to advance to the next field.
Legacy Diskette A: [Disabled] (BIOS Version 1.00.20 or later)
This sub-menu determines if a legacy Floppy Diskette installed, and defines the type.
The Eclipse does not include a legacy floppy interface. However, this selection is
present to maintain compatibility with disk images created for previous workstations
and their ability to support diskless operation. Select “1.44/1.25 Mb 3½” when the
Eclipse is used as a RES/3700 diskless client.
Primary Master [Auto]
The Primary Master is the only hard drive supported by the Eclipse. To change or
examine the settings in the Primary Master field, scroll to the selection and press
[Enter].
We recommend the default setting of ‘Auto’. It forces the BIOS to automatically
detect the hard drive parameters and optimal settings each time the workstation boots.
If a hard disk is not installed, the Primary Master field will display [None].
When the cursor is located on the Primary Master field, pressing [Enter] shows the
available settings. The default settings for each field are shown in brackets [].
Translation Mode [Assisted LBA]
We recommend that you leave this field at the default setting of “Assisted LBA”
when installing a new hard disk of any size. The alternat e setting , ECHS, could be
used if you move a hard disk from a PCWS Ult ra or other computer to the Ecl ipse
and it refuses to boot. This problem is seen as a blinking cursor in the upper left
corner of the LCD. However, we do not recommend moving a hard disk from an
older MICROS PCWS or desktop computer into the Eclipse without installing an
Eclipse image. The Eclipse image contains the correct drivers for the Eclipse
hardware.
oTo toggle the Translation Mode, press [Enter], select [ECHS] or [Assisted
LBA], and press [Enter] again.

Type [Auto]
This field displays the primary master device. Pressing [-] scrolls through the
possible selections.
None
This setting can be used if no hard disk is installed (i.e., the workstation is
diskless). However, the default ‘Auto’ setting , (see bel ow) can be used as well
for a diskless workstation.
Auto
This is the default setting. If an IDE hard disk is installed, the BIOS
automatically detects its parameters and optimal settings each time the
workstation is powered -up. If the hard disk i s removed o r a diff erent har d disk
is installed at a later time , because the BI OS detects the hard disk ea ch time

CD-ROM
The CD-ROM setting is normally disabled. CD-ROM support for the Eclipse
is provided by a Parallel Port Backpack external CD-ROM reader, or through
various external PCMCIA and USB CD-ROM drives.
Primary Slave [None]
The Eclipse workstation supports a single IDE Hard disk internally, the Primary
Master. However, if you have a dual-drive ATA/66 IDE ribbon cable with three
connectors and a “Y” cable adapte r to power both dri ves , set this fi eld to [Auto], then
reboot the workstation to allow the BIOS to detect the IDE device you have installed
temporarily. Be sure the master/slave jumpers on the second devi ce you inst al l ar e set
to slave.

The Eclipse does not support a secondary IDE master or slave device. A connector is
not provided on t he sys tem board. The BIOS does not e nable th is inte rface an d assigns
IRQ 15 to COM3.
PC Beep Mute [Disabled]
This setting determines if the beeper located on the system boa rd functions during the
Power On Self T est. The default setting of disabled allows the internal beeper to sound
during POST.
Selecting [Enabled] mutes the internal beeper. The external speakers are not affected
by these settings.
After Power Failure [Stay Off] (BIOS Version 1.00.20 or later)
This field determines how the Eclipse recovers from an unexpected AC power failure
while in operation. The selections are [Stay Off], [Power On], and [Last State].
The default setting of [Stay Off] requires the user to press the power button to restart
the workstation after an unexpected AC power failure.
The [Power On] setting causes the Eclipse to automatically restart when AC power
returns after an unexpected AC power failure.
The [Last St ate] set ting shou ld be used in conju nction wit h the power saving mod es. If
the Eclipse is in a sleep mode and AC power fails, when it returns, the workstation
should resume the sleep mode state it was in before the AC power failed.
LAN Boot Function: [Disabled]
The ability of the Eclipse to boot from a LAN or from the Disk On Chip is mutually
exclusive. Thus, if a Disk On Chip is installed, and you must boot from the LAN, set
this field to [Enabled].
System Memory
Extended Memory
These fields are for informational purposes on ly. The size of “System Memory” will
typically be 640K. The size of “Ex tended Memory” fie ld is deter mined by t he number
and size of DIMMs installed on the system board. The sum of the System Memory
and Extended Memory fields minus the 1M the BIOS reserves for video will roughly
equal the total amount of DIMMs installed on the system board.

setting.
An incorrect OS setting can cause some operating systems to
display unexpected behavior.
Reset Configuration Dat a [No]
This field is normally set to [No]. When you select [Yes] and restart the workstation,
the BIOS clears, then rebuilds the Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) data
area. The ESCD data area contains a table of the plug and play hardware detected by
the BIOS. This data area is examined by plug and play compatible operating systems.
Once the BIOS rebuilds the ESCD data, this field returns to [No].
PS/2 Mouse [Enabled] (BIOS Version 1.00.20 or later)
This selection enables or disables the front panel PS/2 Mouse port. The selections are
[Enable], [Disable], and [Auto Dete ct]. The default setting of [Enabled] al lows the
operating system to detect and use the mouse, if present. When set to [Disabled], the
mouse port is disabled and IRQ12 becomes available for other uses.

Boot
When the workstation is turned on, entries in the Boot Menu determine the order in
which the BIOS searches for an Operating System (O S).
The boot sequence is displayed as a series of major headings, an example of this is
shown below. Each of the four fields are listed below with a brief explanation of the
devices you may find. If a [+] appears to the left of a heading, it indicates multiple
devices are included.
[+Removable Devices] - (TEAC USB Floppy Disk Drive)
[+Hard Drive] - (System Hard Disk, Optional Disk On Chip)
[ATAPI CD-ROM Drive]
[MBA UNDI (Bus1 Slot0)] - (LAN Boot Selection)
When searching for a bootable device, the BIOS works from top to bottom, checking
multiple devices under each heading if available, bypassing devices if they are not
installed. The default boot order is shown above.
You can promote devices, or move them higher in the sequence by sc rolling to the
heading and pressing [Shi ft]-[+ ]. For example, i f your workst ation is diskl ess, you can
scroll to the [MBA UNDI (Bus1 Slot0)] heading and press the [Shift]-[+] key
combination three times to promote this heading to the top of the boot list.
You can demote a heading by scrolling to it and pressing [-].
However, we recommend that you leave the default settings as provided, with the
removable drive first in the list. If the USB Floppy is not attached, it takes the BIOS
very little time to determine this and move on to the next device in the list. This allows
you to install a USB floppy at any time and use it to boot the workstation without
having to alter the boot sequence.

Boot
When a heading such as [Hard Disk] contains multiple devices, each device can be
promoted or demoted usi ng the same keyboard commands used to promote o r demote
a heading. The configuration below shows the [Hard Drive] heading expanded to list
individual devices.
[+Removable Devices]
[-Hard Drive]
ST360021A - (Typical 60G or 80G hard disk)
M-Systems DiskOnChip (c) - (An M-Systems Disk On Chip is installed)
Bootable Add-in Cards - (Not Installed)
[ATAPI CD-ROM Drive]
In this example, a hard disk as well as the M-Systems Disk On Chip (DOC) is
installed. The Eclipse is capable of booting from either of these devices, however the
BIOS checks the hard disk first because it is first in the list. The “Bootable Add-in
Card” field that appears in the list could apply to certain types of PCMCIA cards
which contain flash memory.
To boot from the DOC instead of the hard drive, promote it to the top of the list by
scrolling to the [M-Systems DiskOnChi p (c)] field and pressing [Shift]-[+] once to
move it to the top of the list .
The Eclipse can b oot dire ctly fr om the DOC if you press the Micros Recover y Butto n,
located on the front panel, and restart the workstation. Pressing this button sets a
recovery bit in the CMOS RAM which is checked by the BIOS at each power up.
When the recovery bit is set, the BIOS ignores the default sequence and boots from
the Disk On Chip where some for m of backup and recovery s oftware r esides. If a Disk
On Chip is not installed when the recovery button is pressed, the workstation will
attempt to boot from the LAN. More information about installing and configuring a
Disk On Chip can be found Chapter 3.
PCWS Eclipse Setup Guide2-13
NOTE
In the example above, also note that the [MBA UNDI (Bus1

What’s Inside?
82802A Firmware Hub
The 82802A version of the Firmware Hub contains 4M of Flash Memory divided
into 8 64K blocks, each of which can be independently write protected. The Intel
i810 chipset does not support the ISA bus. Thus, the Firmware Hub replaces the
traditional Flash EPROM located on the ISA Bus. It stores the system BIOS,
video BIOS, Altera FPGA code, and LAN boot code.
Hub Based Architecture
Figure 3-13 shows how the Hub Interface interconnects each component of the
chip set. The Hub Interf ace is a pr ivate PCI-li ke interf ace betw een the GMCH and
the ICH and between the ICH and Firmware Hub. The Hub Interface operates at
33MHz, synchronous with the PCI Bus.

•Windows 9x Boot Diskette /w SYS.COM (do not use the MS utilities
FORMAT.COM or FDISK.COM).
•The DOC.ZIP file from the hardware section of the MICROS web site.
•TEAC USB Floppy Diskette Drive
•PS/2 Keyboard
Procedure:
1. Connect a TEAC USB floppy diskette and P/S2 keyboard to the workstation.
2. Power up the workstation with the DOC installed, and press [F2] to enter CMOS
Setup.
3. From the Advanced Menu, make sure the Installed O/S field is set to “Other ” or
“Win95”.
4. Proceed to the Boot Menu, select ‘+Hard Drive’ then press [Enter]. The default
boot order should be:
oThe Hard Disk
oBootable Add-in Cards
oM-Systems DiskOnChip (c)
If the M-Systems DiskOnChip (c) field does not app ear in the Boot
Menu, it means the BIOS could not detect it. Power off the
workstation, remove the Disk On Chip and check it for bent pins.
The following step prevents two instances of the Disk On Chip drive
letter from appearing in Windows.
5. Move the “M-Systems DiskOnChip” field ahead of the “Bootable Add-in Cards”
field by scrolling to the Disk On Chip field and pressing [Shift]-[+] key
combination once. Do not move the Disk On Chip in front of the Hard Disk.
6. Press [F10], [Enter] to save changes and restart the workstation. If you have not
done so already, insert the boot diskette with the DOC utilities into the USB
Floppy drive.
7. After the POST runs the memory test, ho ld down the [Ctrl]-[Alt] keys, while
pressing and releasing the [B] key several times. This step is required to prevent
the workstation from attempting to boot from the Disk On Chip.

Installing a Disk On Chip
oIf the message “Non-system disk or disk er ror” appears, it means the BIOS
attempted to boot from the DOC and failed because the operating system is
not yet installed. Restart the workstation and repeat Step 7. When the
workstation boots from the floppy diskette, proceed to the next step.
8. From the A: command prompt type:
dformat /win:d800 /s:doc42.exb /nopnp
and press [Enter]. Confirm by hitting [Y], [Enter] to start the format
utility.
9. When the operation is complete, the display prompts “finished xxxx K bytes...
Format complete...”
oThe Disk On Chip drive letter will be Drive D assuming a hard drive with a
single partition is inst alled. I f a hard disk is not inst alled, it will be Dr ive C. At
this point, you should be able to type dir d: [Enter] and receive a “File Not
Found” prompt since no files have been copied to the DOC yet.
10.From the A: command prompt type
sys d: [Enter]
to copy the operating system files from the boot floppy to the Disk On
Chip.
11.Test the Disk On Chip by pressing the front panel recovery button and restarting

Eclipse LCD/Touchscreen Head
Configuration
This chapter provides an overview of the LCD/Touchscreen Head and shows
how to disassemble and indentify each component. More details on reparing
the LCD/Touchscreen Head can be found in the Eclipse Field Service Guide,
P/N 100016-119.

The LCD/Touchscreen Interface Board....................................................... 4-4
LCD Interface Description (-001, -002 and -003 Boards) ..........................4-11
oEclipse LCD/Touchscreen Head Assemblies using this interface board are
marked P/N 400497-001. New sales of DSTN LCDs were discontinued in
November 2001, but spare DSTN LCD panels (Sharp 12S49) are still
available.
•400499-003 - TFT LCDs - U14 = Hampshire Touchscreen Controller. Also
referred to as the VB12 Board . The Hampsh ire Touchscreen Controller intr oduc es
several compatibility issues, listed below.
oWindows based systems require new touchscreen drivers.
If a LCD/Touchscreen head or interface board using the Hampshire
Touchscreen Controller is installed on a system running the MicroTouch
TouchWare driver s, the touchscreen will not function. FB04-008 describes
how to download and inst all t he Hampshi re touc hscre en driv ers fo r suppor ted
Windows ba sed syst ems. New syst ems will s hip with t he Hampshir e windows
compatible drivers. The MicroTouch TouchWare drivers are included should
they be requi red.
In addition, up to 1000 Eclipse LCD/Touchscreen Head assemblies, P/N
400497-003 were shipped wit h an incorrect jumpe r setting. LCD/Touchscreen
Head Assem blies with th e correct jumper setting are labeled P/N
400497-003A. Refer to Fi eld Bulletin FB04-010, or the configuration section
of this chapter for more de tails.
o8700 and 9700 Diskless Clients (either diskless or with a hard disk )
are not supported.
FB04-009 provides suggested alternatives if an LCD/Touchscreen Head or
interface b oard with the Hampshire Touchscreen controller m ust be
substituted for a 3M TouchWare based system.
Throughout the remainder of this se ction , eac h inter face boa rd is re ferr ed to as ‘ -001’,
‘-002’ and ‘003’.
The primary difference between the -001 and -002 boards is the type of LCD panel
(TFT or DSTN) supported. The Touchscreen Interface on these boards are the same,
based on the Microtouch Excalibur touchscreen controller, coupled to MicroTouch
TouchWare driver s on Windows based systems.
Figure 4-4 shows the component layout of the -001 board. This board supports the
TFT LCD panels shown in Figure 4-5 and requires the MicroTouch TouchWare
drivers on the Eclipse System Unit
Figure 4-4: The -001 LCD/Touchscreen Interface Board (TFT Only)
The -001 and -003 board(s) do not support DSTN LCD panels. Note that U7 and U8
(required to support DSTN LCD panels) are not installed.
Figure 4-5 below, shows the -001 board connectors and TFT LCD Jumper
settings.
Figure 4-5: -001 LCD/Touchscreen Interface Board - Connectors and Jumpers
The -001 LCD/Touchscreen Interface Board is capable of driving the Sharp
LQ121S1DG111 and DG11 LCD panels, with a single jumper installed in JP11.
However, if this interface board is used with a Sharp LQ121S1DG41 LCD Panel,
move the jumper from JP11 to JP9.
