More information about this new UEFI BIOS came be found at the following web link. http://www.phoenix.com/pages/phoenix-securecore-tiano-tm All device drivers for the J2 625 can be downloaded from the J2 web site at: http://support.j2rs.
The J2 625 incorporates a microcontroller (MCU) that supports a number of system functions. These include auto LCD backlight dimming, power LED control, power-on timer, and power cycle counter. The J2 625 Configuration Utility allows for the configuration of options and for reading the current values of these various functions. Installation The utility can be downloaded from the J2 web site: http://support.j2rs.com/625/utilities/ To install, simply unzip anywhere and run setup.
Power-On Hours The MCU uses an internal timer to keep track of how many total hours the J2 625 has been up and running in its lifetime. This number shows powered-up hours only, not the powered but off/standby time. The accuracy of this timer is only about +/- 5% and is to be used as an approximate number. The value is stored in the MCU internal EEPROM. Power Cycles The MCU tracks the total number of times the unit has been powered off and on in the power cycle counter.
Dim Brightness The brightness level that the screen dims to when auto dim is active is controlled by the Dim Brightness setting. This utility is used to change this value whose default value is 10%. The possible range is from 5-95%, in 5% increments. Note: Dimming is important for a few reasons: one is to lower the total power consumption of the unit; another would be to prolong the LCD screen backlight LED life. J2 625 System Manual Version 0.
Update MCU Firmware This tab is used to update the MCU firmware when necessary. This may be to add a new feature or function to the MSR/iButton. J2 will supply a firmware file for this when required.

Do not turn off the J2 625 power when updating. MCU Option This tab is only used for factory programming and verification of the MCU option fuses. It will display the current value of the MCU option fuse (note that end-users normally would not use this feature). J2 625 System Manual Version 0.
DimWake is a very small and simple utility that loads on any Windows OS, but normally is only used with variations of the XP operating system (like XP Pro, POSReady 2009, WEPOS, or XP Embedded). The DimWake program is used to take the J2 625 out of auto dim mode. The hardware can only take the system out of dimming by either a touch of the touch screen, MSR read, iButton read, or keyboard activity that changes the keyboard LED status.
J2 has a standard program that works with all its POS products, called J2 Health. This program is used in either a standalone mode or in conjunction with J2 remote monitor/asset tracking software. The J2 Health program monitors different aspects of the POS hardware to ensure the hardware is running within specification. For the J2 625 it monitors critical system voltages, as well as system and CPU temperatures. Installation The utility can be downloaded from the J2 web site: http://support.j2rs.
As can be seen above, when running on the J2 625 the J2 Health program displays critical system voltages and system and CPU Core temperatures. For other J2 POS systems, J2 Health may display more or less information. An example would be the J2 625 unit, which in addition to the above information would also display the fan speed of the two J2 625 fans. Logging to File The J2 Health program can log the health data to a file in the csv text format for importing to other programs, like Excel.
Registry Entries The J2 Health program creates registry entries for the different health values. Dynamic values are updated at the user defined interval, which is by default 5 seconds. Other software may use these registry entries to access the J2 health information. J2 625 Health keys are shown below: J2 Remote Monitoring Software J2 now offers a full remote monitoring and asset tracking solution that works in conjunction with J2 Health to ensure the highest uptime possible of your POS hardware.
The J2 SMI BIOS Info program allows for the reading of all populated BIOS DMI/SMI information. With some J2 products including the J2 625, this information also includes dynamic system health information. Normally this dynamic DMI health information BIOS is only supported on very high end servers. Now J2 brings this feature to POS hardware. The J2 SMI BIOS Info program will run on any J2 POS hardware or for that fact on any PC hardware. It can display all DMI/SMI information on a formatted form.
