  • Page 10: Features

    Hot Swappable RAID/ Dual Hard Drives Like the J2 650, the first integrated POS system on the market to offer a hot swappable RAID feature the J2 680 also supports this feature. The two internal 2.5 inch SATA hard drives can be configured as a RAID array which gives true fault tolerance to the hard drive subsystem.

  • Page 11: Ups

    680. The combination of all the 680 unique features allows for the 680 to fit many roles. The 680 is not just one product, but a full product range all in one system. From fan less thin client to Quad Core RAID Server - the 680 does it all.

  • Page 12: System

    J2 680 could be configured with a quad core i5 or i7 processor. J2 will be happy to help you determine what you may require from the 680 in the most cost effective way. More memory may be added to get the performance needed, or sometimes a quad core processor and dual HDD with RAID are needed.

  • Page 13: Processors Currently Supported On The 680

    2: Processor with blue shading are available but may requires a minimum order quantity. 3: All processor shown above should work on the J2 680 but are not necessarily tested. 4: "7 Year" = support from Intel to J2 for 7 years, same as embedded products.

When used with HMDI or DVI display a passive adapter cable is used. When used with a HDMI display Audio is support via the same HMDI cable.

  • Page 18: Serial Ports

    A BIOS setting is used to enable the voltage on each port. J2 does not normally recommend using the +5 volt option on COM 1 and is only there for some legacy devices. The problem is it easy for +5 volt device to be plugged into a +12 enable serial port by mistake which will burn out the +5 volt device.
