Installing and Operating the Workstation 2015
The IO Panel
Cash Drawer #1 - Cash Drawer #2
This pair of connectors support standard 12V cash drawers with
4-pin DIN connectors. +24V Cash Drawers are supported through a BIOS
setting.
CF/Express Card
This slot is shared by the SATA CF Riser Card or optional Express Riser Card.
The CF / Express Card slot is protected by a bracket fastened to the case with
two hex screws. The bracket also includes a slot first introduced on the
Workstation 5A.
CF Card
On the PCWS 2015, the primary role of the CF Card slot is image recovery
of the primary boot device. Optional Automated Recovery CFs for
supported operating systems will be available.
Much like the PCWS 2010, the PCWS 2015 is intended for 32-bit or 64-bit
operating systems such as POSReady 2009, Windows XP Professional,
Windows 7 Professional Embedded, and Windows Server 2003.
Support for Windows Embedded CE 6.0 is not planned. This changes the
role of the CF card somewhat. In Windows Embedded CE 6.0
configurations, the CF card is required to store the persistent registry,
application files, and possibly SAR totals. For WIN32/64 configurations,
all files are stored on the boot media (SATA HDD/SSD or RAID Volume)
and the CF card is not required, thus freeing it up for recovery purposes.
ExpressCard
The optional, future CF Express Card is an extension of the older PCMCIA
specification and presents a number of possible IO Options for the
workstation. However, it shares the same physical location as the SATA to
CF Riser Card.
Tips for using the optional Recovery CF Card
• The CF card is a keyed device - but it is possible to force the card into
the socket the wrong way.
• Never remove or insert a CF Card when the unit is ON. Always use the
power button to turn the workstation off before removing or inserting a
Recovery CF Card or CF Card used for mass storage.
