IBM AnyPlace Kiosk 4838
The AnyPlace POS Hub is a high-speed USB 2.0 compatible hub that allows you to
attach IBM point of sale input/output devices. These devices include printers,
keyboards, displays, and cash drawers. The hub provides power for the I/O
devices as well as the IBM AnyPlace Kiosk.
Note: Standard USB (5V) devices can be hot plugged into any USB port on an IBM
system unit. If the hot plugged device does not function properly, try
unplugging and reattaching the device to resolve the issue.
Important: Hot plugging a powered USB device (24V and 12V - red and
green plugs respectively) can cause system errors and is not supported on
any IBM system unit.
For more information, see the IBM AnyPlace POS Hub Planning, Installation and
Service Guide, GA27-4370. Complete the following instructions to attach I/O
devices to the AnyPlace POS Hub:
