Introduction
The BEETLE /M-III is the powerful, high performance POS system for multi-
functional solutions. A powerful and energy-efficient processor technology
ensures a quick processing of all operations.
The BEETLE / M-III contributes particularly to energy saving and environ-
mental protection by using a 80-Plus gold power supply.
The Power Supply Unit (PSU) carries the 80plus Gold certificate.
So, less energy is needed and less noise is generated as the fan is
much lesser activated with a low revolution speed.
The BEETLE /M-III boasts a wide range of standard PC and retail-specific
powered interfaces to connect the numerous peripherals. Additional USB
ports are accessible from the front to provide even more convenience. The
type and number of interfaces can be customized very flexibly.
Optionally there is a second SATA Hard Disk Drive available for your
BEETLE /M-III. The choice of the software is not limited to a certain
product. This provides you with a considerable degree of flexibility when
arranging the configuration of your POS system.
