Features
Intel’s Desktop Processor Socket LGA 1155
By using the latest generation of Intel’s desktop processors and chipsets, code named
Sandy Bridge, the J2 485 supports a very wide range of processors. By taking advantage
of J2’s vast experience with notebook, desktop, and POS computer designs, we have
combined the features of all three for an optimal POS system design. The result is a POS
system that can utilize a desktop chipset that draws very little power and generates a low
amount of heat, similar to mobile chipsets and processors.
Notebook quality components are used in the processor, chipset, and power supply
circuitry, allowing for reduced heat generation and minimal power usage. Additionally,
the J2 485 takes full advantage of the low power features built into the Intel processor
and chipset to further reduce heat.
Hot Swappable RAID / Quad Hard Drives
Like the J2 650, the first integrated POS system on the market to offer a hot swappable
RAID feature, the J2 485 also supports this feature. The four internal 2.5 inch SATA hard
drives can be configured as a RAID array which gives true fault tolerance to the hard
drive subsystem.
DVD/CD Optical Drive
The J2 485 supports standard one DVD/CD optical drive with read/write capability.
Powered USB Ports / Power Port
Addressing the need for additional power ports, the J2 485 supports six +12V and one
+24V Powered USB port. The J2 485 can take advantage as well of the growing
availability of Powered USB products on the market.
In addition to the three Powered USB ports, the J2 485 also supports five powered serial
ports, VGA +12V power, a +24V printer power port, and four standard 2.0 USB ports.
By using a combination of all these powered ports, most all additional external power
supplies for devices such as monitors, scales, “Chip and Pin” devices, scanners, and many
others can be eliminated. This greatly saves space and reduces cost, cables and power
consumption and in most installations this means that only one AC power point is
needed. In addition, with the J2 optional UPS, all these devices will stay powered during
a power outage.
