1-4. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following messages are safety reminders on how to protect your systems from
damages, and extending the life cycle of the system.
1. Check the Line Voltage
(1) The operating voltage for the power supply should be within the range of
100V to 240V AC; otherwise, the system may be damaged.
2. Environmental Conditions
(1) Place your PA-6980 on a sturdy, level surface. Be sure to allow enough
space around the system to have easy access needs.
(2) Avoid installing your PA-6980 Series POS system in extremely hot or cold
places.
(3) Avoid exposure to sunlight for a long period of time (for example, in a
closed car in summer time. Also avoid the system from any heating device.).
Or do not use the PA-6980 when it has been left outdoors in a cold winter
day.
(4) Bear in mind that the operating ambient temperature is between 0˚C and
35˚C (32˚F and 95˚F).
(5) Avoid moving the system rapidly from a hot place to a cold place, and vice
versa, because condensation may occur inside the system.
(6) Protect your PA-6980 against strong vibrations, which may cause hard disk
failure.
(7) Do not place the system too close to any radio-active device. Radio-active
device may cause signal interference.
(8) Always shut down the operating system before turning off the power.
3. Handling
(1) Avoid placing heavy objects on the top of the system.
(2) Do not turn the system upside down. This may cause the hard drive to
malfunction.
(3) Do no allow any objects to fall into this product.
(4) If water or other liquid spills into the product, unplug the power cord
immediately.

PA-6980 SERIES USER
S MANUAL
4. Good Care
(1) When the outside case gets stained, remove the stains using neutral washing
agent with a dry cloth.
(2) Never use strong agents such as benzene and thinner to clean the surface of
the case.
(3) If heavy stains are present, moisten a cloth with diluted neutral washing
agent or alcohol and then wipe thoroughly with a dry cloth.
(4) If dust is accumulated on the case surface, remove it by using a special
vacuum cleaner for computers.

2-3. HOW TO SET THE JUMPERS
You can configure your board by setting the jumpers. A jumper consists of two or three
metal pins with a plastic base mounted on the card, and by using a small plastic "cap",
also known as the jumper cap (with a metal contact inside), you are able to connect the
pins. So you can set-up your hardware configuration by "opening" or "closing" pins.
Jumpers can be combined into sets that called jumper blocks. When jumpers are all in
the block, you have to put them together to set up the hardware configuration. The
figure below shows what this looks like.
JUMPERS AND CAPS
If a jumper has three pins for example, labelled PIN1, PIN2, and PIN3. You can
connect PIN1 & PIN2 to create one setting and shorting. You can either connect PIN2
& PIN3 to create another setting. The same jumper diagrams are applied all through
this manual. The figure below shows what the manual diagrams look and what they
represent.

DRW1 port is used by default. You can add a
second port via either of the methods below:
Method 1:
DRW1 includes two groups of GPIO pins.
The second group is normally unused but can be
enabled by the jumper. Set the pin header jumper
JP17 as 1-2 connected if necessary.
Method 2:
You can split DRW1 into two channels of DRW1-1 & DRW1-2 using the Y-Cable
(option).

Step 3.
DRW1, DRW1-1, DRW1-2 shares the same power source.
(Default: 12V).
Cash Drawer Configuration
The I/O port address of the cash drawer is 2E (hex) and 2F (hex). 2E (hex) is
the address port. 2F (hex) is the data port. User must first assign the address of
register by writing address value into address port 2E (hex), then write/read
data to/from the assigned register through data port 2F (hex).
Configuration Sequence
To program F81866 configuration registers, the following configuration
sequence must be followed:
(1) Enter the extended function mode
(2) Configure the configuration registers
(3) Exit the extended function mode
(1) Enter the extended function mode
To place the chip into the Extended Function Mode, two successive writes of
0x87 must be applied to Extended Function Enable Registers (EFERs, i.e. 2Eh
or 4Eh).

DRW1-1
DRW
1-2

Chapter 2 System Configuration
PA-6980 SERIES USER’S MANUAL
(2) Configure the configuration registers
The chip selects the Logical Device and activates the desired Logical Devices
through Extended Function Index Register (EFIR) and Extended Function Data
Register (EFDR). The EFIR is located at the same address as the EFER, and
the EFDR is located at address (EFIR+1). First, write the Logical Device
Number (i.e. 0x06) to the EFIR and then write the number of the desired Logical
Device to the EFDR. If accessing the Chip (Global) Control Registers, this step
is not required. Secondly, write the address of the desired configuration register
within the Logical Device to the EFIR and then write (or read) the desired
configuration register through the EFDR.
(3) Exit the extended function mode
To exit the Extended Function Mode, writing 0xAA to the EFER is required.
Once the chip exits the Extended Function Mode, it is in the normal running
mode and is ready to enter the configuration mode.
