Important notes
The modular POS system BEETLE /S-II plus conforms to the current safety
standards for data processing equipment.
nIf this device is taken from a cold environment into the operating room,
moisture condensation may form. The device must be absolutely dry
before being put into service; an acclimatization period of at least two
hours must therefore be observed.
nThis device is equipped with a safety-tested power cable and may be
connected only to a prescribed grounded-contact power socket.
nWhen setting up the device, ensure that the power socket on the device
and the grounded-contact power socket are easily accessible.
nTo disconnect the device from the supply voltage completely, switch off
the device and disconnect the power plug of the power supply.
nEnsure that no foreign objects (e.g. office clips) find their way into the
device, as this may lead to electric shocks or short-circuits.
nNever plug in or unplug data communication lines during thunderstorms.
nProtect devices from vibrations, dust, moisture and heat.
nAlways dispose of used parts, such as batteries, in an environmentally
safe manner.
nThe ventilation slots of the power supply must remain unobstructed to
ensure sufficient ventilation of the equipment. If the equipment is to be
fitted, you must ensure that the specified minimum distances are
maintained and constant ventilation is provided.
nIn emergencies (e.g. damaged housing or damaged power cable,
penetration by liquids or foreign bodies), the device must be switched off
immediately, the power plug disconnected and the Customer Service of

not only seriously jeopardize the safety of the user, but also cancel all
warranty and liability agreements.
nYour BEETLE system is the result of modern technical innovation. So
please see for according structural and technical surroundings to
guarantee a faultless and efficient work of your BEETLE. Therefore, you
should connect your BEETLE or other IT-devices only to power supply
systems with separately guided protective earth conductor (PE). This kind
of electricity system is known as TN-S network. Do not use PEN
conductors!
Please also observe the recommendations of the norm DIN VDE 0100,
Part 540, Appendix C2 as well as EN50174-2, §5.4.3.Thus you can help
to avoid possible malfunctions.
nYou can connect or disconnect USB devices during operation of your
BEETLE, provided that these devices comply with the specifications
according to usb.org.
nOther peripheral devices with higher power requirement (such as
PoweredUSB printer) should be connected to or disconnected from your
BEETLE system only after the BEETLE has been switched off.

Introduction
The BEETLE /S-II plus is the powerful and economical basis for your POS
system. The system offers state-of-the-art computing power on the basis of
the most modern, energy-saving single and dual core processor technology
from the Intel desktop portfolio. These processors consume more than 30
percent less energy than the processors of the previous generation
(Pentium 4) and with a higher performance.
You can connect a variety of different peripheral devices to your
BEETLE /S-II plus and even 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. The BEETLE can also be connected
to a network once an appropriate network card has been installed.
Either hard disk or solid state disk (flash memory) can be used as the data
memory.
Whatever configuration you need: Wincor Nixdorf International GmbH offers
the right solution. So, whenever you want to expand your BEETLE /S-II plus,
please contact your Wincor Nixdorf International GmbH branch office or
your dealer.
About this manual
This documentation is intended to help you to work with the POS system
and to serve as a reference work. The detailed table of contents help you
find the desired information quickly and easily.
Notes in the manual are marked by this symbol.
This symbol is used for warnings.
The type and scope of application programs depend on the customer’s own
selection; therefore, software will not be discussed further in this manual.
You will find a description of the BIOS Setup and the Central Processing
Unit in a separate manual (“POS Motherboard”), see

Care of the BEETLE /S-II plus
Clean your BEETLE /S-II plus at regular intervals with a suitable
plastic-surface cleaner which can be ordered from Wincor Nixdorf
International GmbH. Make sure that the power plug is disconnected and that
no liquid finds its way into the device.
Recycling the BEETLE /S-II plus
Environmental protection does not begin
when the time has come to dispose of
the BEETLE; it begins with the
manufacturer. This product was
designed according to our internal norm
“Environmental conscious product
design and development”.
The modular BEETLE /S-II plus system is manufactured without the use of
CFCs and CCHS and is produced mainly from reusable components and
materials.
The processed plastics can, for the most part, be recycled. Even the
precious metals can be recovered, thus saving energy and costly raw
materials.
Please do not stick labels onto plastic case parts. This would help us to
re-use components and material.
You can protect our environment by only switching on your equipment when
it is actually needed. If possible, even avoid the stand-by-mode as this
wastes energy, too. Also switch your equipment off when you take a longer
break or finish your work.
At this time, there are still some parts that are not reusable. Wincor Nixdorf
International GmbH guarantees the environmentally safe disposal of these
parts in a Recycling Center, which is certified pursuant to ISO 9001 and
ISO 14001.
So don’t discard your BEETLE /S-II plus system on the garbage when it has
served its time, but take advantage of the environmentally smart, up-to-date
recycling methods!

(for European countries) for information on how to return and re-use devices
and disposable materials under the following mail address.
