About this manual
This manual is intended for system administrators who are familiar with setting up a new system and installing an
operating system.
The manual consists of the following sections:
Safety information
Before installing and using the PT-6900 POS, take note of the following precautions:
• Read all instructions carefully.
• Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand.
• Do not block the slots and opening on the unit, which are provided for ventilation.
• Do not push objects in the ventilation slots as they may touch high voltage components and result in shock and
damage to the components.
• Only use the power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure, contact your dealer or the Power
Company.
• The unit uses a three-wire ground cable, which is equipped with a third pin to ground the unit and prevent elec-
tric shock. Do not defeat the purpose of this pin. If your outlet does not support this kind of plug, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
• Do not place anything on the power cord. Place the power cord where it will not be in the way of foot traffic.
• Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual and on the unit case.
• When replacing parts, ensure that your service technician uses parts specified by the manufacturer.
• Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or near a heating device..
Chapter 1 Getting Started: This section covers unpacking and checking the package con-
tents, and identifying components. Information on connecting
peripheral devices, and powering on is also provided.
Chapter 2 Upgrading Components: This section provides information on upgrading components
such as a hard disk drive or CompactFlash card reader.
Chapter 3 BIOS Setup Utility: The BIOS chapter provides information on navigating and chang-
ing settings in the BIOS Setup Utility.
Appendix: The appendix covers troubleshooting, information on having the
PT-6900 serviced, and technical specifications.
WARNING
The system uses a 3V CR2032 battery mounted on the mainboard to keep time.
There is a risk of explosion if the wrong battery type is used when replacing.
Dispose of used batteries according to local ordinance regulations.
CAUTION
The USB ports may be damaged if care is not taken when connecting devices.
Ensure USB devices are correctly inserted.
Plugging a phone line into the LAN port (RJ-45 connector) may damage the con-
nector. Plug only an RJ-45 connector into the LAN port.
