Compatibility

To ensure that the SurePOS 720 operate smoothly with any previous hardware
equipment and software programs, carefully review the following requirements.

Hardware

v All cash drawers. Customers with non-IBM cash drawers must use the POS I/O
v 4820 DVI displays (Models 741, 742, 781 and 782 only) require a video card
v 4820 displays with the integrated speaker feature require a PCI audio card
v The maximum length of PCI card slots is 195 mm (7.5 in.).

Software

v New and unique drivers for all operating systems are required for all
v
Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks (RAID) program (Models
742 and 782 only)
The RAID
on the Microsoft Windows operating systems, RAID provides an error message
should one of the two hard disk drives experience a failure. For more information,

functions in the product.
Software migration considerations:
– DOS:
- New LAN drivers are required, with modifications to LAN configuration files
such as PROTOCOL.INI
- Modifications are required to CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
– Applications with hardcoded routines to specific interrupt request (IRQ) levels,
I/O addresses, might experience migration problems.
– Applications requiring COM ports 3 or greater must be capable of using a PCI
compliant, Plug and Play device that uses the shared interrupt architecture.
– Third-party memory modules do not work with every product.
– Windows and Linux:
- Reinstall the operating system.
- After Windows is installed, install the appropriate drivers (downloaded from
the IBM Web site), and then install the applications.
- Existing operating system images for the 4694 or previous models of 4800
are not compatible with the SurePOS 720. However, after you install the
operating system, typical HDD imaging utilities should operate correctly.
