|
|

Table 1 on page 2 provides a detailed description of the models and processor


types.

Cover styles
The following cover types are available:
v Retail covers, which do not protect the system from liquid spray and spills.
v Food-service covers, which provide limited protection from liquid spray and spills.
Food-service covers are available only for the narrow-footprint systems in
distributed configurations.

Configuration options
Depending on the hardware and cables that you select, you can configure the 4694
as a distributed terminal (with devices that are separated from each other). You can
also configure the 4694 as integrated (with devices that are stacked together).

Regional differences
Special models accommodate double-byte character set (DBCS) I/O devices that
use 24 V instead of 38 V.

4690 Operating System dump switch


The IBM 4690 Operating System Dump Switch feature can be ordered for models
1x4 and 2x4. It ships as a standard feature on models 1x6, 2x5, 2x6, 2x7, and 3x7.
The purpose of the dump switch is to help with IBM 4690 Operating System
problem analysis. To locate the dump switch, see Figure 1 on page 4 and Figure 2
on page 5.

|
|
|
|
|

For information about installing the dump switch, see Chapter 8. Installing the
options on page 25.

Memory
The 4694 ships with memory installed. You can expand the memory by adding
more memory modules. For more information about installing memory modules, see
Chapter 8. Installing the options on page 25.

Chapter 1. Introducing the IBM 4694 Point-of-Sale Terminal

LAN adapters
The 4694 provides an Ethernet LAN adapter on the system board. Models 1xx and
2x4 have 10-Mbps Ethernet adapters that meet the IEEE 802.3i 10BASE-T
standard. 2x5 and 2x6 models provide a dual-speed 10/100-Mbps Ethernet adapter
and meet both the IEEE 802.3i 10BASE-T standard and the IEEE 802.3u
100BASE-TX standard. The 2x7 and 3x7 models support 10/100-Mbps Ethernet
standards; however, these models require different software drivers than the 2x5
and 2x6 models.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Like all Ethernet devices, the 4694 uses Category 3 or Category 5 unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) cable and requires the use of a hub or switch. Category 3 UTP
cable is only for 10-Mbps installations; Category 5 UTP cable is for both 10-Mbps
and 100-Mbps installations. IBM recommends Category 5 cable for all installations.
100 meters (328 ft) is the maximum length of cable that is permitted between the
terminal and the hub.

Obtaining the correct software driver for your LAN adapter

|
|
|
|
|

The LAN hardware on Models 2x5 and 2x6 is manufactured by AMD whereas the
LAN hardware on machine models 2x7 and 3x7 is manufactured by National
Semiconductor. Ensure that you obtain the correct LAN software driver for your
machine model.

To switch power ON (after device installation and setup), open the front cover and
press the power button. The green power-on LED appears. The yellow hard disk
drive LED might blink on and off.
Some systems provide standby capability. If the operating system power
management software has been loaded, a brief pressing of the power button puts
the system into a standby state. A flashing green LED indicates standby. To return
the system to the power-on state, briefly press the power button again. To switch
the system completely off, hold down the power button for 2 seconds.
The front panel might include an optional dump switch. See Figure 1 on page 4 and
Figure 2. The dump switch is mounted flush with the front cover and must be
pressed with something pointed, such as the tip of a pen. The dump switch
provides dump support for the 4690 Operating System and can be installed by field
representatives.
The CD-ROM drive has a normal CD-ROM eject button and, in the event of an
emergency such as a power failure, an emergency eject or mechanical release.
Refer to Figure 1 on page 4 and Figure 2 to locate the eject button. To use the
emergency eject, insert a small solid object (for example, the end of a paper clip or
test probe) into the hole on the front of the CD-ROM Drive. This will release the CD
tray.

Installing the 4690 OS dump switch on models with a front panel


dump-switch bracket
An optional dump switch provides dump support for the 4690 Operating System.
The dump switch option is field-installable and consists of the following:
v A switch, a nut, and a washer that fastens the dump switch to the front panel
v A riser card
v A cable that connects the switch to the riser card
These instructions apply to 4694 machines built in 1999 or later. Another way to
identify these machines is by the presence of a dump switch bracket on the front
panel.

Chapter 9. System configuration


This chapter describes how to set the system configuration.
Usually, you do not need to run the system configuration program because the
terminal does most configuration activities automatically. However, you need to
perform system configuration in the following cases:
v You want to change some of the POS subsystem-default memory addressing.
v You want your terminal to boot off a local area network (LAN).
Two methods are available for configuring your system:
v If a video adapter and a standard PS/2 keyboard (or the alphanumeric POS
keyboard connected to the PS/2 keyboard port) are installed, press F2 while the
power-on self-test (POST) is running to invoke the system configuration program.
v If a video adapter and PS/2 keyboard are not attached, you must prepare, and
then boot from, a special configuration diskette.

Running the system configuration program during POST


If the 4694 has a monitor and an alphanumeric keyboard, you can configure it as
described in the following steps:
1. Power on the 4694.
2. Press F2 during POST when the system prompts you.
Note: The program sets many configuration values automatically when you
power ON the terminal and are not configurable. The POS adapter
options refer to memory addresses and interrupt levels that are used by
the integrated POS adapter. Do not change these values unless you
have conflicts with installed adapter cards.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Preparing and using a configuration diskette


The DOS program, CS4694.EXE, is an alternative to configuring during POST. This
program is a part of the 4694 CMOS Setup Configuration Utility. You can download
it from the Support section of the IBM Retail Store Solutions Web site:
://www.ibm.com/solutions/retail/store/
The CS4694 program runs on the 4694 or on any available PC. Use it to edit the
4694 BIOS settings. Before exiting CS4694, press the SAVE function key to save
the BIOS values in a file for later use by CMOSSET.COM, which is also part of the
downloaded package. Then run CMOSSET to update the 4694 CMOS.
The new utility works differently from the original CSETUP.EXE utility. The original
utility created a boot diskette that loaded the values directly into the CMOS of the
4694 and ran only on 4694 hardware.
To generate the configuration diskette, follow the instructions in the READ.ME file in
the downloaded package.

4694 Installation and Operation

Chapter 10. Testing the system


Software errors or hardware failures can cause problems with the 4694. This
chapter contains problem analysis tables to help determine the cause of a problem
and how to solve it.
When you power ON the 4694, the system runs a power-on self-test (POST). If the
POST does not find any errors, the system beeps once and attempts to locate
software from a diskette, hard disk drive, or LAN.

Preliminary checklist
If you have a problem with the 4694, first use the following checklist:
1. Make sure that all I/O devices are connected correctly.
2. Make sure that ac power is connected.
3. Make sure that the contrast and the brightness controls on the display are
adjusted correctly.
4. Make sure that the correct diskette is inserted.
5. Make sure that all installed hardware devices (such as a memory module,
feature card, both printer or mouse), and cables are connected correctly and
securely.
6. Power OFF, then ON, and listen for the beep at the completion of the POST.
Indications of a successful POST are:
v The green light-emitting diode (LED) is on.
v OK, along with the software BIOS version, appears on all attached IBM POS
displays.
v The system unit beeps once.
If none of the successful POST indication occurs, further testing is required. In
this case, contact a trained service technician.
If the POST is successful but the original problem still exists after you perform
these preliminary checks, record any error codes. Then contact a trained service
technician. If you do not receive an error message, see Table 6.

Problem isolation
If the 4694 fails and there is no error code, perform the appropriate actions
described in Table 6. If you cannot solve the problem, call a trained service
technician.
Table 6. Problem Isolation
If the problem is...

Perform the following actions:

The power-on LED remains off.

1. Check that the power cord is plugged into both the wall outlet and the back
of the terminal.
2. Check that the terminal is powered ON.
3. Check that there is power from the outlet.

No beep after POST,
