Workstation 5A Setup Guide - Fourth Edition 1-3
What is the WS5A?
The System
Casework
The Workstation 5A is a low profile design that consists of a base to house
the chassis, system board, internal power supply, LCD Touchscreen
Assembly and Mag Stripe Reader.
Operator LCD and Touchscreen
The Operator LCD consists of 15” TFT LCD, runs at a fixed resolution of
1024x768 and is capable of supporting up to 262K colors. Placed over the
LCD is a 5-wire resistive touchscreen. An optional capacitive touchscreen
is planned.
Magnetic Card Reader
The 3-Track Mag Card Reader is slim low profile design.
Finger Print Reader
An optional integrated or remote fingerprint reader is available that can be
mounted to the left or right side of the top cover.
Operator LED
The Workstation 5A Operator LED is White to distinguish it from the Blue
Operator LED of the Workstation 5. It blinks two times per second as the
unit starts-up and performs the Power On Self Test (POST). After the
operating system starts and loads the API, the Operator LED turns solid
White.
Operator Power Button
The power button is recessed and located at the lower right corner of the
unit. It is used to power the workstation on or off.
Internal Speakers
The Workstation 5A features audio support in both the Windows
Embedded CE 6.0 and POSReady through built-in speakers. The IO panel
includes a ‘Line Out’ jack for driving external powered speakers.
Compact Flash (CF) Riser Card
Figure 1-2 shows a bottom view of the workstation featuring the I/O
connectors, integral VESA 100 compatible hole centers, and CF card
access slot. More information about each I/O Panel Connector can be
found in Chapter 3.
DMA (Direct Memory Access) CF Cards
The Workstation 5A introduced support for DMA CF cards to improve
application performance and speed recovery. DMA is a method of
moving large amounts of data from an IDE device such as the CF card
to main memory with minimal CPU intervention. A DMA enabled CF
Cards requires a DMA enabled CF Riser Card.
