Updated July 14, 2008 Compatibility To ensure that the SurePOS 720 operate smoothly with any previous hardware equipment and software programs, carefully review the following requirements. Hardware v All cash drawers. Customers with non-IBM cash drawers must use the POS I/O configuration screen or jumper override to set the correct operating voltage. Failure to do so may damage the cash drawer or the system unit. See "Cash drawers" on page 18. v 4820 DVI displays (Models 741, 742, 781 and 782 only) require a video card that supports Digital Video Interactive (DVI). The output port is installed in the feature card slot. Note:DVI displays are only supported on Models 741 and 781. v 4820 displays with the integrated speaker feature require a PCI audio card with integrated speaker amplification. v The maximum length of PCI card slots is 195 mm (7.5 in.). Software v New and unique drivers for all operating systems are required for all functions in the product. v Software migration considerations: - DOS: - New LAN drivers are required, with modifications to LAN configuration files such as PROTOCOL.INI - Modifications are required to CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT - Applications with hardcoded routines to specific interrupt request (IRQ) levels, I/O addresses, might experience migration problems. - Applications requiring COM ports 3 or greater must be capable of using a PCI compliant, Plug and Play device that uses the shared interrupt architecture. - Third-party memory modules do not work with every product. - Windows and Linux: - Reinstall the operating system. - After Windows is installed, install the appropriate drivers (downloaded from the IBM Web site), and then install the applications. - Existing operating system images for the 4694 or previous models of 4800 are not compatible with the SurePOS 720. However, after you install the operating system, typical HDD imaging utilities should operate correctly. - 7x2 IBM 4690 OS must be Version 4, Release 1 Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks (RAID) program (Models 742 and 782 only) The RAID2 function provides support for redundant hard disk drives. Supported only on the Microsoft Windows operating systems, RAID provides an error message should one of the two hard disk drives experience a failure.
