DigiPoS PowerPoS & Millennium Technical Manual

Ventilation Requirements

Cavity Size

If the DigiPoS is to be located in a cavity, i.e. under the counter, the cavity dimensions

must be a minimum of 380mm long by 400mm wide by 120mm deep (excluding the

external PSU). A diagrammatic representation is as follows:

120mm

400mm

Although this is the required space, the DigiPoS MUST be located centrally to prevent the

airflow from being disrupted through the ventilation holes in the sides of the case.

Enclosed Spaces

If the DigiPoS is to be located in an enclosed space, i.e. in a closed box or cabinet, there

must be sufficient airflow into and out of the enclosed space. Using the above cavity

space as an example, forced airflow would have to be fitted to prevent the DigiPoS from

overheating. As a general rule, the PowerPoS & Millennium require an airflow exchange

rate of a minimum of 25 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) excluding PSU or 30 CFM including

PSU when in an enclosed space.

The recommended location for these fans is as follows:

Including PSU

External PSU

PC-PoS recommends that the external PSU for the PowerPoS & the Millennium are not

situated in the same space as the DigiPoS to minimise heat build up in enclosed spaces.

If this is unavoidable, forced air ventilation must

be installed to provide adequate

ventilation for the DigiPoS & PSU heat dissipation devices.

Page 10 of 10

DigiPoS PowerPoS & Millennium Technical Manual

Under Counter Mounting

The DigiPoS can be mounted under the counter or on a secure vertical surface to

maximise the available space at the Point of Sale. In order to do this, a special bracket

must be used that has been specifically engineered for the DigiPoS. This bracket does not

obstruct the ventilation yet still provides a secure mounting without the need for drilling

holes in the case which will void the warranty.

DigiPoS Brackets

To fit the bracket, simply remove the case screw towards the rear of the DigiPoS and offer

up the bracket to the DigiPoS. Then, refit the screw and the DigiPoS can now be secured

in position.

The External PSU has mounting holes pre-formed in its case and does not require any

special brackets.

Please contact you’re nearest PC-PoS Office for further details and availability on these

brackets.

DigiPoS PowerPoS & Millennium Technical Manual

Technical Specifications

CPU & FSB Clock Speeds

The Central Processing Unit or CPU fitted in your DigiPoS will depend greatly on what

particular model of DigiPoS you have. The Following is a detailed list of the correct type

of CPU fitted to each model and their respective settings:

DigiPoS Millennium DigiPoS PowerPoS

CPU Type Intel Celeron

Package Type

FC-PGA

(Flip Chip - Pin Grid Array)

Clock Speed 850Mhz

Front Side Bus Speed 100Mhz

L2 Cache Size 128Kb

CPU Type Intel PIII

Package Type

FC-PGA

(Flip Chip - Pin Grid Array)

Clock Speed 1Ghz

Front Side Bus Speed 133Mhz

L2 Cache Size

256Kb

(Advanced Transfer Cache)

The thermal transfer pad on CPU heat pipe assembly can be easily damaged if the

heat pipe is removed and refitted several times. We therefore recommend that only

PC-PoS or authorized agents for PC-PoS attempt to remove the heat pipe. Failure to

comply with this notice shall void all warranties.

Memory

Each DigiPoS, Millennium or PowerPoS, is fitted with a single module of memory.

Commonly referred to as laptop memory, the correct terminology for it is Small Outline

Dual In-line Memory Module or SODIMM for short. The specifications for this memory are

as follows:

Pins 144 Pin Gold

Type SDRAM

Sizes 32, 64, 128, 256, 512Mb

32, 64Mb 100Mhz

Clock Speeds

*

128, 256, 512Mb 100 – 133Mhz

*= Dependant on Front Side Bus setting according to CPU type.

Should you wish to upgrade the memory in the DigiPoS, please contact PC-PoS for

the specifications on the correct type of memory to be used. Using inappropriate

types of memory may significantly degrade the performance of your DigiPoS and

also void all warranties.

BIOS

The Phoenix BIOS is discussed in greater detail later on in this manual.

Important Notes

1 For maximum performance, the cable used for the hard drive is constructed from a

special material and due care must be taken when removing or replacing this item,

taking note of the route the cable takes from the hard drive to the motherboard

connector.

2 As the power supply of this unit is an AT type, it will not support Advanced Power

Management (APM) functions. Under Windows 2000, if the APM function is enabled,

the system will not shut down correctly.

3 If the hard drive has to be replaced, only fit a hard drive that has a maximum speed

of 5400rpm. For the correct type and options available, please contact PC-PoS.

4 The only connectors that can be unplugged while the DigiPoS is powered are the

USB connectors. If any other connector is removed or replaced while the power is

on, serious damage can occur to the DigiPoS. This is considered to be outside the

scope of the warranty and will attract a charge for the repair of any damage caused

by this action.

5 The installation of an internal CD-ROM will determine the maximum card length used

in the 32-bit PCI SLOTS located in PCI 1/PCI 2 because of the compact nature of the

DigiPoS. The length of any PCI add-on card is as follows:

5.1 190mm long x 110mm wide without CD-ROM

5.2 140mm long x 110mm wide with CD ROM

5.3 The ISA SLOT has a maximum length of any add-on card of 170mm long x

110mm wide.
