Changing the CPU BatteryThe BEETLE POS systems are equipped with a lithium batteryon the CPU board to ensure data retention, the time and the setupparameters. The battery should be changed approximately every fiveyears.
When inserting the new battery, make sure the polarityis correct. This is visibly marked in the socket. Incorrectreplacement of the battery may lead to the danger ofexplosion.
The battery is located in a socket in the CPU (see page 9). To gainaccess to the battery, proceed as described in the according chaptersof your BEETLE User Manual.
The lithium battery must be replaced by the end user onlyby identical batteries or types recommended by WincorNixdorf GmbH.
You can return the used batteries to your Wincor Nixdorfsales outlet.
Batteries containing harmful substances are markedaccordingly. The chemical denotations are as follows:CD = Cadmium; Pb = Lead, Li = Lithium.
This symbol on a battery tells you that batteriescontaining harmful substances must not be disposed ofas household waste. Within the European Union you arelegally bound to return these batteries to a WincorNixdorf sales outlet!
The setup parameters must be reset each time thebattery is changed (see chapter Setup).
GB - 15
Connecting PeripheralsWhen connecting peripherals always make sure that the system isswitched off!
The motherboard offers a total of four serial interfaces: COM1 - COM4*and interfaces for connecting displays, modular printers, keyboards,USB-devices, loudspeaker and for the network connection.
COM1
Connect supplementary standard peripherals via the COM1 serialinterface. Make sure that all supplementary devices have been testedfor RFI suppression pursuant to the legal requirements of your country!
COM 1 - COM 4*
Depending on the systems configuration, scanners without anindependent power supply are connected to the COM2*, COM3* orCOM4* serial interface (standard setting COM3*). Connect scales withtheir own power supply to the COM1 interface. COM1 is designed as a9-pin D-sub plug, whereas COM2* - COM4* are 9-pin D-sub jacks.
Make sure that the scanner connector is plugged securely into thesocket to prevent possible malfunctioning.

If scales are connected to the BEETLE system which are not suppliedby Wincor Nixdorf , you must obtain a licence for the driver software.
If COM2 is equipped with a connector, the interface does not carry acurrent.
The COM2 interface is without effect if a TFT adapterwith touchscreen function is installed.
COM2* or COM4*:
Depending on how the system is configured, the customer display isconnected to either the COM2* or COM4* serial interface. The interfaceconnection is a 9-pin D-sub jack. Make sure that the connector for thecustomer display is screwed firmly to the socket to prevent possiblemalfunctioning. Power is supplied via this jack.
If COM2 is equipped with a connector, this interface does not carry acurrent.
COM3*
Connect the cashier display to the serial interface COM3*. This port isa 9-pin D-sub jack.Make sure that the connector for the cashier display is screwed firmlyto the socket to prevent possible malfunctioning. Power is supplied viathis jack.
TFT/CRT
You have the choice of using several adapters for connecting differenttypes of displays.
TFT Adapter/TFT Panel LinkIf a TFT adapter is installed you can connect a SNIkeyTFT or a BA71or BA72 to your BEETLE. Connect the 50-pin data cable of the displayto the system. The signals for the touchscreen function including theloudspeaker of the display module and the power supply are alsoeffected via this cable. To implement the touchscreen functionality forthe COM2 interface you have to change some system settings (seepage 14 “COM2/Touch Setting”). With a TFT Panel Link adapter you
GB - 17
can also connect the displays BA72A or BA73A. If one of thesedisplays is connected, the internal loudspeaker of the system must bedisconnected!
If the SNIkey is equipped with a keyboard cable, connect this with theKYBD interface
CRT AdapterIf a CRT adapter is installed, you can connect any VGA monitor (likethe MO34) to the BEETLE system via the 15-pin D-sub jack on theCRT adapter. Power is supplied to the monitor via the rubber connectoron the BEETLE, located on the back of the housing.
VGA/4 AdapterWith a VGA/4 adapter installed, you have the possibility to connectBA69 / BA70 displays to the CPU.
LAN
If a network board is installed, the system can be connected to anetwork (LAN 10/100 Mbit) from the POS terminal back panel. If aLAN board is not installed, this location on the back panel is closedby a dummy cover.
SPK
You can connect external loudspeakers to your POS system.
USB
The USB interface contains 2 downstream ports providing the datarates of 12 MHz for high speed USB peripherals and 1.5 MHz for lowspeed USB peripherals.
GB - 18
KYBD
Your BEETLE system has a 6-pin mini-DIN jack for connecting akeyboard. Make sure that the connector is plugged firmly into thesocket to prevent malfunctioning. Power is supplied to the keyboard viathis socket. If you wish to connect a standard PC keyboard with DINconnector, you must use a special adapter cable, obtainable from theWincor Nixdorf branch office responsible for your area.
LPT1
The standard parallel interface LPT1 is intended for connecting amodular printer.
You will find more information on how to connect other POS printersand more POS peripherals (e.g. Cash Drawers) to your BEETLEsystem in the User Manuals that come along with your BEETLEsystem.

BIOS SetupThe Celeron / Pentium III mainboard comes with a Phoenix BIOS chip thatcontains the ROM Setup information of your system. This chip serves asan interface between the processor and the rest of the mainboard’scomponents. This section explains the information contained in the Setupprogram and tells you how to modify the settings according to your systemconfiguration.
Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, you might wantto change the configuration of your system in the future. For example, youmay want to enable the Security Password Feature or make changes tothe power management settings. It will then be necessary to reconfigureyour system using the BIOS Setup program so that the system canrecognize these changes and record them in the CMOS RAM or theFLASH ROM.
The Celeron / Pentium III mainboard will be delivered with two differentBIOS versions:
the Standard BIOS version displayed as WN STD xx/yy on the screenand the POS BIOS version displayed as WN POS xx/yy on the screen.
Due to the considerable and visible differences both BIOS versions areexplained separately in this document.
Standard BIOS Version
The BIOS ROM of the system stores the Setup utility. When you turnon the system, it will provide you with the opportunity to run this program.This appears during the Power-On Self Test (POST). Press <F2> to callthe Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the mentioned key,POST will continue with its test routines, thus preventing you fromcalling Setup. If you still need to call Setup, reset the system by pressing<Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Delete>. You can also restart by turning the system offand then on again. But do so only if the first method fails.
GB - 21
The POS specific components described in this document (e.g. NVRAM,Memory Card, some POS Displays) are not supported by the “StandardBIOS” version but only by the POS BIOS version!
The Setup program has been designed to make it to use as easy aspossible. It is a menu-driven program, which means you can scroll throughthe various sub-menus and make your selections among thepredetermined choices.
When you invoke Setup, the main program screen will appear. On thefollowing pages you will read more information about the Setup entries.
Because the BIOS software is constantly being updated, the followingBIOS screens and descriptions are for reference purposes only and maynot reflect your BIOS screens exactly.
BIOS Menu Bar
The top of the screen has a menu bar with the following sections:
MAIN Use this menu to make changes to the basic systemconfiguration.
ADVANCED Use this menu to enable and make changes to theadvanced features.
SECURITY Use this menu to enable a supervisor password.
POWER Use this menu to configure and enable PowerManagement features.
BOOT Use this menu to configure the default system deviceused to locate and load the Operating System.
EXIT Use this menu to exit the current menu or specify howto exit the Setup program.
To access the menu bar items, press the right or left arrow key on thekeyboard until the desired item is highlighted.
GB - 22
Legend Bar
At the bottom of the Setup screen you will notice a legend bar. The keys inthe legend bar allow you to navigate through the various setup menus.The following table lists the keys found in the legend bar with theircorresponding alternates and functions.

General Help
In addition to the Item Specific Help window, the BIOS setup program alsoprovides a General Help screen. This screen can be called from any menuby simply pressing <F1> or the <Alt> + <H> combination. The GeneralHelp screen lists the legend keys with their corresponding alternates andfunctions.
Scroll Bar
When a scroll bar appears to the right of a help window, it indicates thatthere is more information to be displayed that will not fit in the window.Use <PgUp> and <PgDn> or the up and down keys to scroll through theentire help document. Press <Home> to display the first page, press<End> to go to the last page. To exit the help window, press <Enter> or<Esc>.
Sub-Menu
Note that a right pointer symbol appears to the left of certain fields. Thispointer indicates that a sub-menu can be launched from this field. Asub-menu contains additional options for a field parameter. To call asub-menu, simply move the highlight to the field and press <Enter>. Thesub-menu then will appear immediatley. Use the legend keys to entervalues and move from field to field within a sub-menu just as you would dowithin a menu. Use the <Esc> key to return to the main menu.
Take some time to familiarize yourself with each of the legend keys andtheir corresponding functions. Practice navigating through the variousmenus and sub-menus. If you accidentally make unwanted changes toany of the fields, use the set default hot key <F9>. While moving aroundthrough the Setup program, note that explanations appear in the ItemSpecific Help window located to the right of each menu. This windowdisplays the help text for the currently highlighted field.

The POS BIOSThis setup is an integral part of the BIOS. It has been incorporated in theBIOS FLASH ROM. At present, the setup can be started in the followingways:
By pressing the key <2> during the POST test phase.
By simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<ESC> after the final beep.
By setting the key lock on the POS keyboard to “T” or “4".
By pressing the key <2>, if the configuration is incorrect (this isrevealed by the BIOS test).
Since the output can also appear on a VFD screen as well as on a VGAscreen, it must be adapted to the format of the VFD display with 4 lines x20 characters.
The different graphic cards have a fixed priority. So a legacy VGA graphiccard has the highest priority, this means, all outputs are sent to this screenadapter regardless of the presentation of an other card. The prioritystepping is like the following:
Highest priority: Legacy ISA VGA cardPCI VGA cardOnboard graphic
Lowest priority: External VFD display
Outputs are sent to the VFD screen if no other VGA board will be found.
For installing IDE hard disks an auto configuration utility is installed in thesetup. The parameters can be read from the disk and are stored in theCMOS-RAM. If the hard disk is an enhanced type with higher transfermode, the BIOS will detect this feature and enable it automatically.

At the beginning of each POST routine, the BIOS outputs the test pointerror code to I/O port address 80h. Use this code during trouble shootingto establish at what point the system failed and what routine was beingperformed.
If the BIOS detects a terminal error condition, it halts POSTafter issuing aterminal error beep code and attempting to display the error code on theport 80h LED display (diagnostic card). If the system hangs before theBIOS can process the error, the value displayed at the port 80h is the lasttest performed.In this case, the screen does not display the error code.

The routine derives the beep code from the test point error as follows:
1. The 8-bit error code is broken down to four 2-bit groups.2. Each group is made one-based (1 through 4) by adding 1.3. Short beeps are generated for the number in each group
Example:Testpoint 1Ah = 00 01 10 10 = 1-2-3-3 beeps
The following is a list of the checkpoint codes written out to the diagnosticport at the start of each test.
The first beep code inside of the BIOS has 1-long and 2-short beeps.This means that there is a problem with the graphic adapter.
