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.
