What is the PCWS 2015
The System
The System
The MICROS PCWS 2015 sets a new standard for performance in a Point of
Sale terminal. Based on the Intel Calpella mobile platform, it provides the
processing power demanded by the latest applications, while at the same time
maintaining a low thermal output and minimal power consumption.
Two dual-core mobile processors from this family are available: the Intel
Celeron P4505 or Core i5-520.
The PCWS 2015 is designed to operate along side the Workstation 5A,
retaining similar styling and compatibility with existing stands, customer
displays, magnetic card readers, biometric devices and other peripherals.
Operator Features
Figure 1-1 points out the primary external operator controls.
Figure 1-1: The PCWS 2015 - Operator Features
15” TFT LCD and Resistive Touchscreen
The Operator LCD consists of a 15” TFT LCD, at a fixed resolution of
1024x768 and is capable of supporting up to 262K colors. Placed over the
LCD is a five-wire resistive touchscreen. An optional capacitive touchscreen
will be available after release.
PCWS 2015 Setup Guide - 2nd Edition 1-3
What is the PCWS 2015
The System
Operator LED
The PCWS 2015 Operator LED is Green to easily distinguish the unit from the
Workstation 5A, which shares similar casework.
The Operator LED blinks two times per second as the workstation starts-up
and performs the Power On Self T est (POST). After the operating system starts
and loads the PCWS API, the Operator LED turns solid Green.
Power Button
The recessed illuminated power button is located on the lower right of the base.
It is used to power the PCWS 2015 on and off. The illuminated power button is
identified by the international symbol for power on/off.
3-Track Magnetic Card Reader
The low profile 3-Track Mag Card Reader is the same as used in the
Workstation 5A.
Cooling System
The dual-core Celeron and i5 processor selections consume sufficient power to
require active cooling. After conducting extensive thermal simulations, heat
pipe cooling technology was selected for the PCWS 2015.
Heat Pipes combine the principles of thermal conductivity and phase transition
to efficiently manage the transfer of heat between ‘warm’ and ‘cold’ surfaces.
A heat pipe consists of a sealed pipe or tube made of copper, connected to both
the ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ ends. A vacuum pump is used to remove all air from the
empty heat pipe, and then it is filled with a small amount of coolant chosen to
match the operating temperature.
On the PCWS 2015, the ‘warm’ end of the heat pipe is heatsink attached to the
processor and the ‘cold’ end of the heat pipe is located under the power supply
cover. The power supply cover is shaped to form a ‘cooling tunnel.’
The 60mm CPU fan pulls ambient air through the front of the base, across the
heat pipe radiator and power supply, before it exits from the left side of the
workstation base. This is illustrated in Chapter 3.
The CPU fan runs at full speed when you start the workstation, then slow to
about 2500 RPM in about two minutes. The fan continues to run at this speed
as long as the workstation is on. If the CPU fan temperature sensor exceeds
47°C, the CPU fan will increase speed to compensate.
Internal Speakers
The PCWS 2015 introduces Intel High Definition Audio capability. The digital
audio controller in the PCH is coupled to the analog RealTek ALC268-VB1
High Definition codec.The IO Panel includes a Line-Out audio jack for driving
external powered speakers.

The System
The illustration below points out features located on the bottom of the
workstation.
Figure 1-2: PCWS 2015 Features - Bottom View
Mass Storage
The PCWS 2015 can use standard 2.5” form factor SATA drives, but is also
capable of booting from a USB Hard Drive.
2.5” SATA Drive Bay
The PCWS supports one or two laptop form factor (2.5”) SATA drives,
accessed from the front and rear of the base. The PCWS 2015 ships with a
single 2.5” SATA drive installed in bay 0, near the IO panel. A second
drive can be added for expansion or two drives can be used in combination
to build a RAID 0 or RAID 1 array.
2.5” SATA Solid State Drives (SSD) are available, but are currently
substantially more expensive than spinning drives and not yet available in a
standard PCWS 2015 configuration.
Each bay is secured by access panels with captive allen head screws.
Chapter 3 contains more information about adding and removing hard
drives.
PCWS 2015 Setup Guide - 2nd Edition 1-5
What is the PCWS 2015
The System
eUSB Flash Drive
The PCWS 2015 includes a dedicated 2x5 header reserved for an eUSB
flash drive, similar to that used in the Workstation 5 and 5A. This device
can be installed for additional storage and backup purposes. It can also be
configured as boot device and primary storage for POSReady 2009 or
Linux images. eUSB Flash Drives are available in multiple capacities as
described in the PMA.
Compact Flash Card
Like most MICROS workstations, the PCWS 2015 includes an externally
accessible T ype 1 C ompact Flash Card Socket. It is s ecured by a plate held
in place by allen head screws.
Like the USB Flash Drive, a CF card can be used for additional storage and
backup. However, it is not recommended that the CF Card be used as the
primary storage device as this prevents the socket from being used for an
optional Recovery CF.
Optional Recovery CF Cards are available for both POSReady 2009 and
Windows 7 that can return the unit to an out-of-box condition within
minutes. The Recovery CF ships with a current factory image, but
customer specific images can be substituted by simply editing a text file.
Pressing the Recovery Button, accessed through a hole in bottom of the
workstation is detected by the BIOS. On the next power cycle, the BIOS
changes the boot order to boot from the Recovery CF. A recovery script
automatically starts GHOST to transfers the image to the primary storage
device.
Once the image transfer is complete, the unit automatically reboots, the
default boot order is restored and the workstation boots from the primary
storage device.
The PCWS 2015 uses a new CF Riser Card, called the SATA to CF Riser
Card. The new riser card installs in the same physical location as the
original CF Riser Card so that it is accessible from the IO panel, but does
not use the same system board connector used by the original CF Riser
Card, which it replaces.
See Chapter 3 for more information about the SATA to CF Riser Card.
Memory Expansion
Current PCWS 2015 configurations ship with a single 2GB DDR3 SO-DIMM
installed in socket SO-DIMM1, located on the top of the system board.
Removing a small door on the bottom of the workstation exposes the second
SO-DIMM socket. Adding a second 2GB DDR3 SO-DIMM can increase the
total memory size to 4GB.

The System
AC Input
The IO Panel AC Input connector is similar to that used on the Workstation
5/5A, and uses the same angled AC input connector compatible with the
Workstation 5 and 5A Adjustable Stand.
IO Door
To accommodate the 10mm increase the overall height of the base, the 2015
uses a new IO Door. The new door features a flexible tab on one end to ease
removal and installation.
VESA 100 Mount
The VESA 100 compatible mount on the base of the PCWS 2015 can support
virtually any mounting from under a shelf to wall mount or an adjustable arm.

the IO Panel and internal headers located on the system board.
Type A USB Ports
A total of four Type A USB connectors (USB1 - USB4) are available at the
IO Panel for general purpose use. With the addition of the USB Extension
Cable option one USB port can be made available at the front of the
optional Adjustable Stand.
Powered USB Ports
The PCWS 2015 IO panel includes two unique powered USB ports. Unlike
standard powered USB, these ports are not constrained to a single voltage
and are smaller than traditional powered USB ports.
The port voltage is determined by the dongle connected to it. One port can
provide either +5V, +12V, or +24V ; the second port can provide either +5V
or +12V.
Typical uses for these ports are powered USB peripheral such as the
Protege Display System. MICROS has tested the Epson TM-T88V
Powered USB Printer on port USB5. This implementation is shown on the
next page.

System Board USB Headers
A total of seven 2x5 USB headers are located on the System Board. One is
dedicated to the optional eUSB flash drive, and one port is dedicated to the
resistive or capacitive touch controller. This leaves additional headers
available for options such as the integ rated biometric fingerprint reader and
or an 802.11 compatible USB WiFi card.
USB Port Security
All IO Panel USB ports can be individually disabled to prevent the use of
keyboards, flash drives or other USB devices. USB per-port control is
currently implemented in the BIOS. Future versions of the 2015 will allow
USB per-port control through the PCWS API.

Software Platform
Software Platform
Software components include the BIOS, Operating System, the PCWS API,
platform specific drivers, and utilities. These components are pre-installed on
each unit to create a foundation upon which POS applications are installed
using the Client Application Utility (CAL).
BIOS
The PCWS 2015 is based on the Phoenix SecureCore Tiano (SCT) BIOS. It is
built on a decade of support for industry initiatives to handle the widest
possible range of processors chip set and IO interfaces. The BIOS includes a
pre-boot environment called UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) to
provide optional features such as CF Recovery.
Operating Systems
Operating Systems supported by the PCWS 2015 includes both 32 and 64-bit
versions Windows 7 Professional Embedded or Windows Embedded
POSReady 2009. Formerly known as Windows Embedded for Point of Service
(WEPOS), Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 is derived from W indows XP
Professional, and tailored for the point of service environment.
Additionally, a Windows XP Professional image will be available for those
who wish to downgrade from Windows 7 Professional.
PCWS API and MICROS OPOS Drivers
The PCWS API is used by MICROS applications to control MICROS specific
ports such as the cash drawers, IDN printers, customer displays and mag card
reader. The API also controls the operator display brightness and operator
LED, while the most recent version included with the PCWS 2015 adds the
ability to enable/disable the external USB ports.
Third party application designers can choose to utilize the PCWS API to
directly control these ports or use the MICROS OPOS (Open POS) drivers.
The MICROS OPOS drivers provide third party application developers an
industry standard structure for controlling point of sale peripherals. The OPOS
drivers interact with the PCWS API in place of controlling the ports directly.
The MICROS OPOS drivers are included in the POSReady 2009 and W indows

Software Platform
MICROS CAL32
The MICROS CAL32 provides many of the same application level
functionality as the MICROS CE based CAL Client, but does not perform
operating system or platform updates. CAL32 can be used to install MICROS
client applications and updates, as well as PCWS 2015 drivers and utilities.
CAL 32 is included with all factory images, but is not installed.
Simphony Prerequisite Software
To simplify the installation of Simphony applications, the MICROS PCWS
2015 platform is pre-loaded with most of the prerequisite required by
Simphony, including SQL Express, Visual C++ 2008 Runtime, and POS for
.NET.
POS Application
The PCWS 2015 is shipped without a Point of Sale application installed. The
MICROS Client Application Loader (CAL) included with each unit can
connect to any MICROS application server and download the application in
minutes.
The table below summaries the applications that have tested.

Intel AMT
Intel Active Management Technology is the next generation of advanced
manageability features developed as a direct result of IT customer feedback
gained through market research. Intel AMT reduces the TCO Total Cost of
Ownership (TCO) through features such as asset tracking and remote
manageability. Intel AMT extends the manageability capability for IT through
Out Of Band (OOB) operation, allowing asset information, remote diagnostics,
and recovery on client systems even when they are in the ACPI S5 (Soft-Off)
state, or in situations where the operating system hangs.

Power Management States
Power Management S tates
Introduction
This section introduces the PCWS 2015 power management states.
References to power management states are specified in bold capital letters,
e.g., NOPOWER, and ON. See chapter 3 for more information about operating
the PCWS 2015.
UNPLUGGED
• The AC power cord is not connected to a wall outlet. This state is also
referred to as “ACPI G3 Mechanical Off.”
• The Operator LED is Off.
• The Operator LCD is blank.
The workstation can be safely disassembled when in this state.
NOPOWER
• The AC power cable is attached, but the operating system and applications
are not running. RAM contents are undefined.
• The Operator LED is Off.
• The Operator LCD is Blank.
This is the ACPI S5 ‘soft-off’ state where the power supply remains active,
delivering minimal power to several key circuits in order to detect the
power-button, recovery button or Wake-On-Lan event.
It is not safe to disassemble the workstation when in this state. Power supply
components remain energized, presenting a shock hazard. Always remove the AC
power cord from the IO Panel before disassembling the PCWS 2015.
ON
• The Operating System and POS application are operating. RAM contents
are maintained.
• The Operator LED is solid Green.
Standby and Hibernate
Standby is available with POSReady and the more advanced Hibernate is
available with Windows 7 Professional. Both power saving modes are
supported at the hardware level, but may not be supported in some POS
applications.
Last Power State Retention
The PCWS 2015 retains the last power state (ON or NOPOWER) in non-volatile
memory . In B IOS Setup, the Power Failure Resto ration field in the Advanced Special Configuration menu determines how the unit behaves when AC power
to the workstation fails and then returns.
PCWS 2015 Setup Guide - 2nd Edition 1-17
What is the PCWS 2015
Power Management States
The default setting of ‘Last State’ means that if the workstation is ON and AC
power fails, it returns to ON when AC power is restored with no action required
by the operator. See Chapter 3 for more information.
