Overview
The J2 485 is the high end exciting product offering of the new Retail Point of Sale
computers. Built on the same features and capabilities of the J2 480, the powerful J2 485
offers additional storage and expansion options. The J2 485 uses the same system board
as the J2 480, and has additional features, such as: built in power supply, DVD support,
PCI-E or PCI expansion slot, and room for up to four HDD drives.
The J2 485 comes standard with an Intel 2.4GHz Dual Core Sandy Bridge processor,
however it can also be ordered with a number of other processors, including the very high
end Intel i7 3.4GHz Quad Core processor. The J2 485 system board uses the Intel
LGA1155 socket and supports a wide range of dual and quad core processors.
Using the Intel Sandy Bridge processor with the Q67 chipset, the J2 485 uses the latest in
the ultimate desktop solutions, providing very high performance with a very low carbon
foot print. The Sandy bridge chipset is designed only to draw as much power as needed
for any given operation, thereby greatly reducing the average power consumption for this
superb level of performance.
Designed for easy machine maintenance and upgradeability, the following is a list of
important J2 485 features:
1. Upgrades to the memory modules can be easily done without tools.
2. A complete motherboard upgrade can be carried out in less than 30 seconds.
3. The four quick change SATA hard disk drives are easily accessible, housed in
slide-in drive bays that allow the drives to be hot swappable.
4. The footprint of the J2 485 is particularly compact, making it ideal for the
space-conscious retailer.
The J2 485 supports the standard Microsoft operating systems: Windows 7, POSReady 7,
Windows 7 Embedded, XP, POSReady 2009 and XP embedded. The 485 is equally
proficient with the many flavors of Linux.

Features
Intel’s Desktop Processor Socket LGA 1155
By using the latest generation of Intel’s desktop processors and chipsets, code named
Sandy Bridge, the J2 485 supports a very wide range of processors. By taking advantage
of J2’s vast experience with notebook, desktop, and POS computer designs, we have
combined the 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.
Notebook quality components are used in the processor, chipset, and power supply
circuitry, allowing for reduced heat generation and minimal power usage. Additionally,
the J2 485 takes full advantage of the low power features built into the Intel processor
and chipset to further reduce heat.
Hot Swappable RAID / Quad Hard Drives
Like the J2 650, the first integrated POS system on the market to offer a hot swappable
RAID feature, the J2 485 also supports this feature. The four internal 2.5 inch SATA hard
drives can be configured as a RAID array which gives true fault tolerance to the hard
drive subsystem.
DVD/CD Optical Drive
The J2 485 supports standard one DVD/CD optical drive with read/write capability.
Powered USB Ports / Power Port
Addressing the need for additional power ports, the J2 485 supports six +12V and one
+24V Powered USB port. The J2 485 can take advantage as well of the growing
availability of Powered USB products on the market.
In addition to the three Powered USB ports, the J2 485 also supports five powered serial
ports, VGA +12V power, a +24V printer power port, and four standard 2.0 USB ports.
By using a combination of all these powered ports, most all additional external power
supplies for devices such as monitors, scales, “Chip and Pin” devices, scanners, and many
others can be eliminated. This greatly saves space and reduces cost, cables and power
consumption and in most installations this means that only one AC power point is
needed. In addition, with the J2 optional UPS, all these devices will stay powered during
a power outage.
