System The J2 615 uses the same dynamic design as the J2 580 and J2 650 computers. This allows for different systems to be integrated at the same customer site, maintaining a well balanced look and feel for your important installations.
The function of the button can be controlled by the OS; should the J2 615 hang for some reason, note that it can always be powered off by holding the On /Off button in for six seconds.
Solid State Drive / Hard Disk Drive The J2 615 has one drive bay that supports a 2.5 inch SATA SSD or HDD. The standard drive supplied is an 8GB Solid State Drive (SSD). The SSD or HDD can be accessed simply by loosening the one screw on the drive bay panel on the right side of the unit.
615 unit includes a water tight gasket for spill resistance. The ELO Infrared (IR) is also available for the J2 615 as an option. The IR touch screen has no known failure mode-- it does not “wear out.” With a protective cover over the LCD panel the IR touch screen does not reduce LCD panel brightness.
0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees without any loss of performance. Secondary Display Port A secondary video display is supported on the J2 615 and can be set as the primary or secondary display. Secondary video displays can be configured as a Twin, Intel Dual Display Clone or Extended Desktop.
Both serial (COM) ports 3 and 4 can be strapped to provide power to external devices. The J2 615 is shipped standard with serial 4 strapped to supply +12 to pin 9 of the DB9 connector. Normally serial port 4 is used for J2’s 2x20 character VFD customer display which gets its power from the serial port.
Page 15
Both serial ports 3 and 4 can have jumpers set to select for either +12 volts or +5 volts. J2 does not recommend using +5 volts devices if it can be avoided, as it is quite easy to damage a +5 volt device by plugging it into a port supplying +12 volts. Most all serial scanners are available in the + 12 volt version.

802.11n wireless LAN card. Power Supply The J2 615 uses a 65 watt 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 3.42 Amps and has an input rating of 100-240VAC at 50~60Hz 1.8 Amps maximum.
Power Supply Mounting in Base Typical Power Consumption 615 The typical power consumption of the 615 is much lower that a desktop computer and more comparable to a notebook computer. Using the Intel’s Atom processors and Intel chipset allows for much lower power consumption than previous generations of POS computers. This, when coupled with J2 software power reduction utilities, can greatly reduce the system’s total carbon foot print.
