LGA 1155 By using the latest desktop processors and chipsets, code named Sandy Bridge, the J2 680 supports a very wide range of processors. By taking advantage of J2 , and POS computer designs, we are able to combine features of all three for an optimal POS system design. The result is a POS system that can utilize a desktop chipset that draws very little power and generates a low amount of heat, similar to mobile chipsets and processors.
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. Because of the unique design of the J2 UPS and power supply, the need for special AC power conditioning devices is eliminated.
Configurations The 680 can be ordered or upgraded to many possible configurations. Selecting the right combination of memory, processor, hard or solid state drive(s), and software drivers can dramatically change the performance of the 680 system. For a lot of users the standard 530 2.4GHz dual core processor and 2GB of memory is fine, as this is already more powerful most all POS systems, but some applications may require more horse power.
Processors currently supported on the 680
I/O Ports Most I/O ports are accessible in the cable well at the bottom of the unit. A cover plate is provided to cover the cables. I/O Panel Off / On Button The Off /On button is located in the cable well, as shown. This button is located near the side to prevent accidental powering down by the user. The function of the button can be controlled by the OS. If the 680 hangs for some reason it can always be powered off by holding the Off / On button in for six seconds.
Hard Disks Two 2.5 inch SATA hard drives (HDD) or solid state drives (SSD) are supported. These drives can be configured as standard hard drives or as a RAID array. The SATA interface can support data transfer rates up to 6.0 Gb/s and supports AHCI and Hot Swapping of hard drives. The HDDs can easily be accessed by removing a panel on the left side of the unit. HDDs can be installed or removed in seconds by removing one screw.
System Board POS computers typically have a desired lifespan of 10 years or longer, therefore product quality is of the utmost importance. The 680 electronics are built with high-end components to ensure reliability and long lasting product performance. The system board is designed for quick replacement and only has one connection, an edge pin connector, to which all motherboard connections are made. System board LCD Display The LCD display for the 680 is a 1024 x 768 resolution display with 16.
The 680 also supports the newer digital video standard DisplayPort connector. This connector supports a DisplayPort monitor or a HDMI display or DVI monitor. When used with HMDI or DVI display a passive adapter cable is used. When used with a HDMI display Audio is support via the same HMDI cable. The secondary video displays can be configured as a Twin, Intel Dual Display Clone, or Extended Desktop. Most all monitor resolutions from 640 x 480 to 2560 x 2048 are supported.
Serial ports The 680 has four external RS232 serial ports, all of which can be powered. The serial ports are standard RS-232 ports with a DB9 male connector. The serial ports, in a normal configuration, are mapped to COM 1-4. There also four internal serial ports one of which is used for the resistive touch controller and the other are reserved for other internal options. COM ports 1-4 can supply power to an external device when required, like the optional J2 Customer Display.
USB Ports The 680 has six external and 4 internal USB 2.0 ports. Of the six external ports (see below) five ports are located in the cable well and one is located on the left side of the unit for easy access. The four internal USB ports are as follows: one can be used for the optional Finger Print Reader and is located on the MSR connecting point. The second internal USB port is used for the PCT touch screen controller and the other internal USB ports is designed for other optional internal devices.
Ethernet Connection The 680 uses the Intel 82579LM Gigabit Ethernet controller. The Ethernet connector is located in the cable well, as shown below. The Ethernet controller supports Wake on LAN, the BIOS supports a PXE boot ROM as well. There are two LEDs on the LAN connector: the Green LED lights up when the LINK signal is present and the Amber LED lights comes on when there is LAN activity. This Ethernet supports Intel AMT feature when used with the correct processor.
Audio The 680 uses the VIA1708B HD audio controller. There is one internal speaker. Both a microphone jack and a headset jack are located in the cable well of the 680, as seen below, which allows for the connection of a microphone and headset or audio out to other devices. Audio is also output via the HDMI port when used.
Cash Drawer Port The 680 is equipped with one Cash Drawer port that will support one or two drawers. This port is located in the cable well and uses the industry standard RJ-11 connector and pin out (illustrated below). This pin-out is the same as used by EPSON printers and cables for the EPSON printer normally work with the 680.
Cash Drawer Controller Register The Cash Drawer Controller use one I/O address to control the Cash Drawer.

CMOS Clear The 680 CMOS can be cleared jumping JP3 pin 1-2 then removing the jumper. Power Supply The 680 uses a notebook type power supply that is normally mounted in the base of the unit. The power supply is rated with an output of 180 watts 19 VDC 9.47 Amps and has an input rating of 100-240VAC at 50~60Hz 2.5Amps maximum. The power supply has an efficiency rating IV. The power supply connector is a four pin locking type that plugs into the system s power input connector located in the cable well.
Typical Power Consumption 680 The typical power consumption of the 680 is lower that most desktop computers. Using the latest ssors and chipset allows for much lower power consumption than previous generations of POS computer. This when coupled with proper system configuration can greatly reduce the systems total carbon foot print.
Removing the Head from the Base The 680 is shipped with a counter top base which allows for the head to be adjusted from 0-90°. To remove the integrated head from the base, fully loosen the thumbscrew located on the back of the unit under the hinge of the counter top base, as shown below. Then lift the head as illustrated: Loosen Thumb Screw Slide Head up to remove J2 680 System Manual Version 1.
