UPS
Not your ordinary UPS, the J2 680 UPS is a DC, not an AC UPS. The UPS fits
c
onveniently into the base of the unit. Unlike an AC UPS the J2 UPS makes the 680 work
more like a notebook computer. In addition to running the 680 for up one hour, the UPS
will run all the POS peripherals attached to the 680, including the printer. Because of the
unique design of the J2 UPS and power supply, the need for special AC power
conditioning devices is eliminated.
Printer Power Port
The 24 volt Printer Power Port can power most POS printers on the market, including the
popular Epson line of printers. When used along with the J2 UPS, if a power outage
should occur, the POS terminal can still operate and print receipts for up to one hour.
Also, when the 680 is turned off the printer is turned off also. This is very useful when
the auto power on and off features of the 680 is used. This also applies to the +24V
PoweredUSB port (note, only one +24V port can be used at a time).
Cooling System
Great attention was paid to the thermal solution of the 680, it is truly a unique feature.
The 680 can run as a fan less or fan-cooled system. Because of the very wide range of
processors supported, thermal loads can range from 5 watts to as high as 95 watts. The
680 was designed to handle these thermal loads while still being super quiet. Two smart
fans are used in conjunction with an Embedded Controller (EC) to ensure that the fans
run at the lowest possible speed while still providing proper cooling. Fan speed changes
are controlled to produce the smallest acoustical signature possible. The 680 fans are the
type used in Blade Servers and have a speed range from 3500~10,000 rpms at very high
torque.
Fan-Off Mode
When using the i5 or lower performance processor the 680 can run in a fan-off
c
onfiguration. In the mode the 680 is a fan-less convection cooled device. This fan less
operation may be required for high dust or other special environments.

Versatility
The word versatility is very much over used, but it is the correct word to describe the
most unique feature of the 680. The combination of all the 680 unique features allows for
the 680 to fit many roles. The 680 is not just one product, but a full product range all in
one system. From fan less thin client to Quad Core RAID Server - the 680 does it all.
