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
Not your ordinary UPS, the J2 680 UPS is a DC, not an AC UPS. The UPS fits conveniently into the base of the unit. Unlike an AC UPS the J2 UPS makes the 680 work more like a notebook computer. In addition to running the 680 for up one hour, the UPS will run all the POS peripherals attached to the 680, including the printer.
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 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.
