J2 680 System Manual
Version 1.0 May 11, 2012

Configurations
The 680 can be ordered or upgraded to many possible configurations. Selecting the right
combination of memory, processor, hard or solid state drive(s), and software drivers can
dramatically change the performance of the 680 system. For a lot of users the standard
530 2.4GHz dual core processor and 2GB of memory is fine, as this is already more
powerful most all POS systems, but some applications may require more horse power. In
this case the J2 680 could be configured with a quad core i5 or i7 processor.
J2 will be happy to help you determine what you may require from the 680 in the most
cost effective way. More memory may be added to get the performance needed, or
sometimes a quad core processor and dual HDD with RAID are needed. The 680 can do
it all, low end to high end.
Processor Support
The 680 supports a very wide range of Intel processors. Each provides a dif
ferent price
performance level. From Celeron dual core, Pentium dual core and -3, i5 and i7 dual a
quad core with processor speeds from 2.4GHz to 3.4GHz are all supported by the 680.
The 680 comes standard with the Intel dual core 2.4 GHz G530 processor but can be
ordered with a different processor type. The processor can be easily upgraded by a
qualified technician. The 680 uses the Intel defined LGA1155 socket. Intel is constantly
adding new processors so please check with J2 for any additions since publication of this
manual.
The large heat sink, cooling fans, and fan controller (shown below) are designed to keep
everything running cool, quiet, and reliably with the supported processors.
