Overview
The 650 from J2 is the most high performance integrated Point of Sale computer
available to date. This amazingly versatile unit can be configured as either a low power
fan less thin client terminal; as a midrange thick client terminal; or even as a Dual Core
high speed server with RAID. Product versatility and reliability are the key strengths of
this 650 system.
This ingenious integrated touch screen computer has special “all in the head” design
built-in, which means it can be used as a counter top unit, a wall-mount or a pole-
mounted computer. You will find that both the counter top base and VESA/ wall mount
brackets are supplied as standard equipment with the 650.
There are many processor variants available, the 650 comes standard with an Intel 1.6
GHz Celeron 420 Conroe Core processor. This system board uses the Intel LGA775
socket and it can be upgraded or ordered with a wide range of single or dual core
processors.
The 650 unit also has a very unique feature when using the 420 processor, this is called
the “Green Mode”. This mode is set by a simple BIOS setup item, and when the unit is in
this “Green Mode” the processor speed is reduced to 1GHz and fans are turned off.
This, in effect, turns the 650 into a fan less system for thin-client use and also reduces the
650 power consumption by 25%, thereby reducing the 650 carbon footprint which is
already very small.
Accessibility is key to machine maintenance and upgradeability, the following is a list of
important 650 features:
1. Upgrades to the memory modules can be easily done by simply removing two
screws on the back cover.
2. A complete motherboard upgrade can be carried out in less than 2 minutes.
3. The two quick change hard disk drives are easily accessible, housed on a slide-
in drive bay that allows the drives to be hot swappable.
4. The footprint of the J2 650 is particularly compact making it ideal for the space
conscious retailer.
The 650 offers thick or thin-client or server configurations which support standard
Microsoft operating systems Vista, XP, WePOS, CE.NET and XPe, further
demonstrating its versatility. The 650 is equally proficient with the many flavors of
Linux.

Unique Features
The 650 truly has some unique features not hitherto seen on an integrated touch screen
computer before. These features allow for a great deal of versatility in how the 650 can
be configured and used. A quick list of unique features is as follows:
Intel’s Desktop Processor Socket LGA 775
By using the new generation of Intel’s green processors and chipsets, a very wide
range of processors can be used in the 650 system. From a Celeron single core
processor running fan less at 1 GHz to a 2.667GHz Core 2 Duo with 1GHz FSB
and 4MB cache, the performance range is truly unique.
Most POS computers use Intel’s Mobile processor and chipset to keep heat and
power down. This is fine but the performance is lower and the cost is higher for
Mobile processor solutions. By taking advantage of J2 company’s and partners’
vast experience with notebook, desktop, 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.
Notebook quality components are used in the processor, chipset, and power
supply circuit, which allow greatly for reduced heat generation and minimal
power usage. Additionally, the 650 takes full advantage of the low power
features built into the Intel processor and chipset to further reduce heat.
Hot Swappable RAID/ Dual Hard Drives
The 650 is the first integrated POS system on the market to offer a hot swappable
RAID feature. The two internal 2.5 inch SATA hard drives can be configured as a
RAID array which gives true fault tolerance to the hard drive subsystem. This has
not been available on an integrated POS device before!
Green Mode / Fan less Operation
By changing one setting in the BIOS, the 650 can be configured to function as a
fan-less POS system. In this mode the standard 1.6GHz processor and chipset run
in a reduced power mode which means that the two fans are off and the 650 is
convection cooled. The system performance in green mode is greater than other
fan-less POS systems on the market, with the 650 benchmarking near the same
performance as a 1.3GHz Celeron M processor based system. This patent pending
feature is unique to J2.

Automatic LCD Brightness Control
Another innovative feature of the 650 is its use of a light sensor to control the
LCD brightness. A light sensor is built into the unit and can detect when a room is
darkened. It will automatically dim the LCD so that it is not too bright. This
patent pending feature is also unique to J2.
UPS Not your ordinary UPS, the J2 650 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
650 work more like a notebook computer. In addition to running the 650 for up to
two hours, the UPS will run all the POS peripherals attached to the 650, 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.
Printer Power Port
The 24 volt Printer Power Port can power most POS printers on the market,
including the popular Epson line of printers. When used along with the J2 UPS, if
a power outage should occur, the POS terminal can still operate and print receipts
for up to two hours. Also, when the 650 is turned off the printer is turned off also.
This is very useful when the auto power on and off features of the 650 is used.
Cooling System
Great attention was paid to the thermal solution of the 650; it is truly a unique
feature. The 650 can run as a fan less or fan-cooled system. Because of the very
wide range of processors supported, thermal loads can range from 20 watts to as
high as 80 watts. The 650 was designed to handle these thermal loads while still
being super quiet. Two smart fans are used in conjunction with an Embedded
Controller (EC) to ensure that the fans run at the lowest possible speed while still
providing proper cooling. Fan speed changes are controlled to produce the
smallest acoustical signature possible. The 650 also includes a JAM-FAN mode.
If the fan does not spin up when it should, the fan turns on to full power to
dislodge any dust that may be jamming the fan! The 650 fans are the type used in
Blade Servers and have a speed range from 2500~13500rpm at very high torque.
Versatility
The word versatility is very much over used, but it is the correct word to describe
the most unique feature of the 650. The combination of all the 650 unique features
allows for the 650 to fit many roles. The 650 is not just one product, but a full
product range all in one system. From fan less thin client to Core 2 Duo RAID
Server - the 650 does it all.
