Introduction
The BEETLE /M-II plus is the powerful, high performance POS system for
multifunctional solutions. A powerful and energy-efficient processor tech-
nology ensures a quick processing of all operations.

The BEETLE / M-II plus contributes particularly to energy saving and envi-
ronmental protection by using a 80-Plus gold power supply.

The Power Supply Unit (PSU) carries the 80plus Gold certificate.
So, less energy is needed and less noise is generated as the fan is
much lesser activated with a low revolution speed.

The BEETLE /M-II plus boasts a wide range of standard PC and retail-
specific powered interfaces to connect the numerous peripherals. Addi-
tional USB ports are accessible from the front to provide even more con-
venience. The type and number of interfaces can be customized very flexi-
bly. Optionally there is an DVD-RW drive or a second SATA Hard Disk Drive
available for your BEETLE /M-II plus.

The choice of the software is not limited to a certain product. This provides
you with a considerable degree of flexibility when arranging the configura-
tion of your POS system. Whatever configuration you need: Wincor Nixdorf
International GmbH offers the right solution. So, whenever you want to
expand your BEETLE /M-II plus, please contact your Wincor Nixdorf
International GmbH branch office or your dealer ( http://www.wincor-
nixdorf.com/internet/site_EN/EN/Home/homepage_node.html )

P-USB- Hub (optional)
There are four 12V P-USB interfaces on an optional available board. They
allow the connection of peripherals such as printers and scanners. Devices
like Hard Disks may also be connected via a USB interface. This interface
can also be used as a USB-A socket.

Always use this onboard P-USB 12V (*) to connect a BA82 or BA83
with additional options or any other multifunctional screens.

BEETLE /M-II plus User Manual 37

COM5*-COM8*- Interfaces (optional)
The standard system is configured with four COM* interfaces, COM1 con-
nector (not power supplied) and COM2-COM4 sockets (power supplied). In
addition expansions are possible via a motherboard connector.

COM5*/COM6* (onboard) interfaces are available optionally.

The maximum expansion stage offers four more powered COM* interfaces
together with a PCI COM card.

Scanners, customer and operator displays without power supply of their

own are connected to these serial interfaces. The interface connection is a
9-pin D-sub jack. Power (5V or 12V) is supplied via this jack.

Make sure that the connector for the customer display is screwed firmly to
the socket to prevent possible malfunctioning.

PLINK TFT- Adapter (optional)
If you want to use your already existing display equipment, you can con-
nect your screen to the PLINK TFT interface via a DP connector.

For connecting a display with touch function COM6* would be the default
position on the motherboard. The COM8* interface can be used alterna-
tively on the PCI card.

BEETLE /M-II plus User Manual 39

Starting Up the System
After installing the BEETLE /M-II plus, switch on the POS system using the
ON/OFF button on the front panel.

The system first performs an automatic self-test to test its basic functions.

For example, you may see the following message on the monitor:

WN „ID xx/xx Date“

xx/xx is the placeholder of the BIOS version number.

The system then determines the medium from which the operating system
and POS application are to be booted. Each medium is assigned a logical
drive according to the configuration of your BEETLE /M-II plus.

A drive can be assigned to the following media:

 Network
 Hard disk/ SSD
 DVD
 USB drive

The logical drives are designated C: and D.

The network is always assigned to the C: drive during the run-up proce-
dure. The hard disk can be assigned to the C: or D: drive. The system can
only be started from the hard disk if the disk has been configured as C:
drive.

40 BEETLE /M-II plus User Manual

 Corresponding to the Setup configuration the modular BEETLE /M-II plus
system can be booted from the following drives:
 Hard disk drive C:
 DVD
 LAN module with BOOTPROM
 USB drive

Please mind that the storage medium must be system-boot-capable.

If the POS system does not find a DVD it automatically continues the
loading process from drive C:.

If the operating system has started up without an error, the application

software is automatically booted, if necessary.

A message is displayed as soon as the BEETLE /M-II plus is ready for opera-
tion. For more detailed information see the description of your application
program.
