Enclosed Spaces If the DigiPoS is to be located in an enclosed space, i.e. in a closed box or cabinet, there must be sufficient airflow into and out of the enclosed space. Using the above cavity space as an example, forced airflow would have to be fitted to prevent the DigiPoS from overheating.
DigiPoS Brackets To fit the bracket, simply remove the case screw towards the rear of the DigiPoS and offer up the bracket to the DigiPoS. Then, refit the screw and the DigiPoS can now be secured in position.
The Central Processing Unit or CPU fitted in your DigiPoS will depend greatly on what particular model of DigiPoS you have. The Following is a detailed list of the correct type of CPU fitted to the DigiPoS Millennium and its respective settings:...

The thermal transfer pad on CPU heat pipe assembly can be easily damaged if the heat pipe is removed and refitted several times. We therefore recommend that only DigiPoS Systems or authorized agents for DigiPoS Systems attempt to remove the heat pipe. Failure to comply with this notice shall void all warranties.

DigiPoS end or the LCD end, first switch off the monitor using the power button on the front of the LCD and then re-attach the cable. If this is not carried out correctly, you risk blowing the fuse or even damaging the DigiPoS if the LCD is left on while trying to re- connect the cable.
This will almost certainly result in serious damage to the motherboard and possibly to the peripheral as well. If either selecting the wrong voltage or removing the connectors while the devices are powered damages ANY peripheral device or the DigiPoS, a charge may be applied by DigiPoS Systems for any repairs necessary.
(RI) signal. The Ring Indicator is the signal the modem gives to the DigiPoS to tell the software that someone is trying to connect to it. The RI signal is normally found on pin 9 of the d-type connectors and as this is the pin that is used to supply power to the peripherals it is necessary to replace the internal cable connection to the selected port.
Overloading of the voltages is not recommended and can render the DigiPoS inoperable or may even permanently damage circuitry within the DigiPoS. Overloading of any of the Voltages will void all warranties, either on the DigiPoS or any connected peripherals. If any permanent damage occurs, charges will apply for any repairs necessary.
DigiPoS Diagnostics Icon. The program will shut down software that is running and then re-starts the system automatically. 2. When the DigiPoS restarts, the orange diagnostic LED, the LED at the left hand end of the group of four small LED’s below the power switch, should illuminate to indicate that the DigiPoS is in diagnostic mode.
ESC/PoS compliant, these include all of the Epson displays, the DigiPoS CD-5220 and the DigiPoS WD-202 (when set up for ESC/PoS emulation). Start the test by pressing the numbered key next to the menu entry; this will either be menu item 1 or menu item 2.

An Example of a Customer Display If this picture fails to appear then there is probably something wrong with the display and should be investigated further by a qualified technician.
DigiPoS Millennium Technical Manual Magnetic Card Test The diagnostic software is unable to detect the presence or absence of a magnetic card reader due to the fact that the majority of card readers only transmit data and do not receive data. Because of this the test menu will always show a magnetic card reader test even if there is no reader attached.

This gives the current temperature of the CPU case. This gives the temperature of the temp junction inside the CPU and NOT the DigiPoS system temperature. This is the current speed of the CPU fan located opposite the HDD (underneath the CD ROM if you have one fitted) and is used for the air tunnel cooling system.
Operating System Dependant Settings The defaults that were covered above are generalised and some settings need to be altered in order to gain the maximum performance from your DigiPoS when using certain operating systems. The following list describes the operating system dependant settings and their reasons.

DigiPoS are connected via the correct port and is orientated correctly. • The VGA Cable is plugged in securely (using the screws) to the DigiPoS. The DigiPoS will not boot and emit a beep error code if there is no VGA display connected when the unit is powered up.
• On the front panel, check red LED is flashing as the HDD is accessed. • On the internal front panel of DigiPoS Millennium check LED 2 3 & 4 are lit. Please note that the fourth LED will be lit if you are in Diagnostic mode.
Unless you have specialist equipment, the only way to test the output of the VGA port is to connect a different monitor to the DigiPoS to see if it rectifies the problem. If it does not, please go to the next chapter in this guide.
If the port is set correctly, the next option is to try another device through the diagnostics similar to the procedures described above for COM port testing. Should the parallel port fail this test, please contact DigiPoS Systems to have a full diagnostic workup on the DigiPoS to find the cause of the problem.
DigiPoS Millennium Technical Manual Powered Port Testing Before removing or re-inserting any of the connectors on the rear of the DigiPoS, the system must be powered down (with the exception of the USB ports). Failure to do this may result in severe damage not only to the equipment, but also to the individual undertaking the work.

And also on the motherboard side to confirm the cable is not damaged or incorrectly connected: If any of the voltages are missing or are outside of the tolerance values stated on the test sheet, please contact DigiPoS Systems to arrange to have the DigiPoS serviced. Page 73 of 81...
• Using full Electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions remove the memory, hard drive, floppy drive, CD ROM and any expansion cards installed. • Re-Install each component individually, re-booting the DigiPoS each time until all components have been refitted or until the suspect device has been identified.
The objective of the 1 level test is to identify the possible area of failure and if a local repair can be achieved or if the unit needs to be returned to DigiPoS Systems for further testing and or repair.
• Enter BIOS and make certain that the COM ports are active and set correctly. • Check to see if the COM port cable (and DC power cables) inside the DigiPoS does not show any signs of damage and are inserted into the correct sockets.

If you are asked to return the DigiPoS, a copy of the test sheet must be forwarded to your local DigiPoS Systems office observing any local RA procedures as this will help expedite the repair procedure.
