# Do’s & Don’ts
(Integrated circuits on All E-PoS System’s are sensitive to static electricity; hence to avoid
damaging any of the Components on the System, Read these following precautions and
other instructions before getting started and save them for later reference).
i. Do not remove the computer from the anti-static Packaging until you are ready for
installation.
ii. Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting the computer to the
power outlet, (110~220 volts).
iii. Connect Rubber Legs provided to avoid damaging Cabinet Cover and Door, (where
provided).
iv. Do not change any Hardware Devices online when System or the device is on and running,
because the sudden surge of power may ruin any sensitive components. Also make sure the
computer is properly grounded.
v. Turn off the computer before cleaning. Always clean with a damp or dry cloth only. Do
not spray any liquid cleaner on screen directly.
vi. The power outlet socket used to plug in the computer power cord must be located near the
system and easily accessible. Do not use outlets on the same circuit of the system that
regularly switch on and off.
vii. If the computer is sharing an extension cord with other devices, make sure the total ampere
rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere
rating.
viii. Do not expose the power cord, extension cord and power outlet to moisture.
ix. The openings on the computer enclosure are for the cabin ventilation to prevent the
computer from overheating. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.
x. Do not connect any devices to Powered COM Ports (5V/12V), other then the devices that
take power from Powered COM Ports to avoid damaging the Device.
xi. Any Hardware upgrades or changes to be made are to be informed, and do not tamper with
Serial Nos. and Warranty Seals, to avoid Warranty being Void.
xii. If the computer is not equipped with an operating system. An operating system must be
loaded first before installing any software into the computer.
xiii. If the computer is equipped with a touch panel, avoid using sharp objects to operate the
touch panel. Scratches on the touch panel may cause mal-calibration or non-function to the
panel.
xiv. The LCD panel display is not subject to shock or vibration. When assembling the computer,
make sure it is securely installed.
xv. Choose an Ideal dust free location and reliable surface for the System with proper
ventilations.

How to solve the conflict between PS/2 Mouse and LAN?
A5.
Please follow these steps:
1. If there is an IRQ12 conflict between LAN and PS/2 Mouse, the
latter will always occupy IRQ12 because of BIOS priority.
2. To solve the problem, you need a reserve IRQ for LAN.
3. Adjust the BIOS option (IDE, comX, etc. Disable) to get the extra
IRQ.
4. Test until every device works property.
Q6.
