Onboard Components
Processor
The D2- CPU supports Pentium III processors as well as Celeron processors in
370 Pin FC-PGA/FC-PGA2 package. The released types are:
The frequency selection is automatically selected. Also the core voltage – which
depends on processor type and revision version – are defined automatically by
the processors VID pins.
Attention:
The passive heatsink has to be correctly installed.
The heatsink paste is absolutely necessary.
The processor fan – if installed – has to be controlled whether it works
properly.
13
System Memory
The D2 – CPU provides two DIMM sockets for connecting memory modules in
SDRAM technology up to 512 MByte ( 2 x 256 MB). DIMMs with different sizes
can be used. PC100 as well as PC133 (PC133:modules with 64MB, 128MB,
256MB capacity) modules may be used. The RAM timing depends on DIMM
types and type of processor.
Main Memory
14
Graphic System
The main part of the graphic system is the Graphic Memory Controller Hub
(GMCH) – part of the chipset. It contains the complete graphic system as well as
the memory controller.
The Video memory is part of the main memory (max. 10 MB under Windows)
including 4MB pixel memory. The Graphic Controller supports 2D and 3D graph-
ics.
Because the different Flatpanels from Wincor Nixdorf International are optimized
for a special resolution, every Flatpanel has its own jumper setting. The follow-
ing jumpersetting is defined; unused combinations are reserved for the future.
15
Jumper Settings
16
Audio System
The audio systems contains on the AC‘ 97 compatible Sound controller – part of
the chipset - , the CODEC ( CS4299 from Chrystal) and the audio amplifier .
NVRAM
The NVRAM may be used under DOS for saving non volatile data.
The NVRAM is housed in DIL package; the size is 32KB or 128KB.
IDE Interface
For connecting IDE drives there are 2 connectors on the CPU available. The
connectors are 2mm header, 44 pin with +5V power supply.
2.5” hard disc drives and CDROM/DVD drives are connected without additional
power lines.
3.5” drives are connected via an adapter cable, which differs between the vari-
ous BEETLE models.
The interface may be driven in PIO mode 0 – mode 4 or in UDMA mode 0 – 2.
Floppy Interface
For connecting Floppy drives there are two different connectors on the CPU
available. These are a 2.54mm standard header for 1” drives and a foil cable
connector for ½” drives.
Standard 1.44MB and 720KB Floppy Discs are supported.
17
Changing the CPU Battery
The BEETLE POS systems are equipped with a lithium battery on the CPU
board to ensure data retention, the time and the setup parameters. The battery
should be changed approximately every five years.
ÎWhen inserting the new battery, make sure the polarity is correct. This is
visibly marked in the socket. Incorrect replacement of the battery may lead
to the danger of explosion.
The battery is located in a socket in the CPU (see page 10). To gain access to
the battery, proceed as described in the according chapters of your BEETLE
User Manual.
The lithium battery must be replaced only by identical batteries or types
recommended by Wincor Nixdorf International.
You can return the used batteries to your Wincor Nixdorf International sales
outlet.
Batteries containing harmful substances are marked accordingly. The
chemical denotations are as follows: CD = Cadmium; Pb = Lead,
Li = Lithium.
ÎThe setup parameters must be reset each time the battery is changed.
18
Plugin Modules
CRT-Bridge
You have the choice of using several adapters for connecting different types of
displays.
COM3*,4* Module
The COM3*,COM4* module may be used, to implement 4 serial interfaces. If
this Module is assembled, the USB2 port is available at the standard USB
connector.
The voltages +5V and +12V are protected by polyfuses.
• 24V version with 2 USBplus ports with 12V and 1 USBplus port with 24V
The 12V version may be used with introduced PSUs, the current is limited. The
24V version may be used only with the new 212W Power Supply Unit (PSU)
API0PO23-280 or equivalent.
If one of the USBplus modules is assembled , the USB2 port is automatically
disabled. The voltages +12V and +24V are protected via polyswitches.
PanelLink Bridge
The PanelLink bridge serves as interface for connecting BA72A, BA72A-1 or
BA73A to the D2- CPU.
The Bridge may not be used on the D1- CPU. The TFT adapter (C2-CPU) and
PanelLink bridge (D1-CPU) must not be used on the D2- CPU.
19
LAN 10/100 Adapter
While the LAN controller is part of the INTEL chipset the LAN adapter contains
the physical layer including Ethernet address. The LAN adapter was developed
for the D2- CPU.
20
Fixed I/O Address Ranges
The following table contains all of the I/O address lines of the CPU. The access
type and the bit width are specified alongside the port address and the function
performed by the command.
21
Fixed I/O Address Ranges (ctd.)
22
Interrupt Assignments
The interrupt assignments correspond to the standard AT assignments plus
POS- specific characteristics.
23
DMA Channel Assignments
The DMA channel assignments correspond to the assignments in the AT
standard.
24
PCI – Interface
25
Additional Onboard Components
The Onboard PCI connector may be used to assemble alternatively one Plug In
Modul with up to two PCI-Slot functionalities (double sided).
The 3COM LAN modul and Onboard VGA/4- Submodul are introduced.
The device address of the integrated LAN controller in the ICH2 makes a reor-
ganisation of the BEETLE Risercards necessary.
2 x PCI Device 9 , 11
3 x PCI Device 9 , 11 , 13
ÎThe ISA/PCI shared slot gets the Device address 9. The subsequent
addresses are 11 and 13.
New risercards are backwards compatible and may be used in all introduced
systems.
26
Restrictions
27
Plug and Play
The BIOS supports PnP capabilities by managing the system resources. All I/O-
addresses, IRQ-channels and DMA channels, which are used by the system are
marked as reserved and the remaining resources are available for the PnP –
OS. See also BIOS specification.
28
Operating Modes
General
The D2- CPU provides power management functions dependent on the installed
Operating System. Full functionality of USBplus is only guaranteed when the
enhanced power supply units (212W) are available.
Switching on
The power supply will be activated and deactivated via the main switch at the
rearside of the system. Activating the main switch the Standby voltage P5VSB is
supplied and the system is ready to be switched on (Standby mode). There are
several possibilities to switch on the system.
The “regular” way to switch on the system is to activate the temporary switch at
the frontside of the system.
ÎShort pressing the temporary switch will switch on the system.
For powering up the system via LAN the Onboard PCI connector is provided
with the “Wake up” signal and the Standby voltage P5VSB. A third possibility to
switch on the system is connecting a modem which activates the “Ring indica-
tor” signal. Last not least the RTC can be used to switch on the system.
Switching Off
The system may be switched off either by activating the temporary switch at the
frontside of the system or under Software Control.
ÎPressing the temporary switch longer than 4 seconds will switch off the
system.
Power Failure
If the main power fails (AC input) for longer than 20 msec and the UPS feature
is not used, the loss of Standby Voltage results in powering down the system.
After the main power returns the system responds depending on the BIOS
Setup setting. If in the BIOS Setup “Restore” is chosen, the system enters the
state before Power failure. If in the BIOS Setup “Stay Off” is chosen, the system
29
stays off. If in the BIOS Setup “Follow AC” is chosen, the system follows the
main power.

COM2*
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.
COM-Interfaces
Connect supplementary standard peripherals via the COM1 serial interface.
Make sure that all supplementary devices have been tested for RFI suppression
pursuant to the legal requirements of your country!
COM 1 - COM 4*
Depending on the systems configuration, scanners without an independent
power supply are connected to the COM2*, COM3* or COM4* serial interface
(standard setting COM3*). Connect scales with their own power supply to the
COM1 interface. COM1 is designed as a 9-pin D-sub plug, whereas COM2* -
COM4* are 9-pin D-sub jacks.
Make sure that the scanner connector is plugged securely into the socket to
prevent possible malfunctioning.
If scales are connected to the BEETLE system which are not supplied by Wincor
Nixdorf International, you must obtain a licence for the driver software.
The COM1 or COM2* interface is without effect if a TFT adapter with touch
screen function is installed.
31
COM2* or COM4*
Depending on how the system is configured, the customer display is connected
to either the COM2* or COM4* serial interface. The interface connection is a 9-
pin D-sub jack. Make sure that the connector for the customer display is
screwed firmly to the socket to prevent possible malfunctioning. Power is sup-
plied via this jack.
COM3*
Connect the cashier display to the serial interface COM3*. This port is a 9-pin D-
sub jack. Make sure that the connector for the cashier display is screwed firmly
to the socket to prevent possible malfunctioning. Power is supplied via this jack.

BIOS Setup
The Celeron / Pentium III mainboard comes with a Phoenix BIOS chip that con-
tains the ROM Setup information of your system. This chip serves as an inter-
face between the processor and the rest of the mainboard’s components. This
section explains the information contained in the Setup program and tells you
how to modify the settings according to your system configuration.
Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, you might want to
change the configuration of your system in the future. For example, you may
want to enable the Security Password Feature or make changes to the power
management settings. It will then be necessary to reconfigure your system using
the BIOS Setup program so that the system can recognize these changes and
record them in the CMOS RAM or the FLASH ROM.
The Celeron / Pentium III mainboard will be delivered with two different BIOS
versions:
the Standard BIOS version displayed as WN STD xx/yy on the screen and the
POS BIOS version displayed as WN POS xx/yy on the screen.
Due to the considerable and visible differences both BIOS versions are
explained separately in this document.
42
The Setup program has been designed to make it as easy as possible. It is a
menu-driven program, which means you can scroll through the various sub-
menus and make your selections among the predetermined choices.
When you invoke Setup, the main program screen will appear. On the following
pages you will read more information about the Setup entries.
ÎBecause the BIOS software is constantly being updated, the following BIOS
screens and descriptions are for reference purposes only and may not re-
flect your BIOS screens exactly.
ADVANCED Use this menu to enable and make changes to the ad-
vanced features.
EXIT Use this menu to exit the current menu or specify how to
exit the Setup program.
To access the menu bar items, press the right or left arrow key on the keyboard
until the desired item is highlighted.

parameters manually.
ÎAfter the IDE hard disk drive information has been entered into BIOS, new
IDE hard disk drives must be partitioned (e.g. with FDISK) and then format-
ted before data can be read from and written to. Primary IDE hard disk
drives must have its partition set to active (also possible with FDISK).
Other options for the Type field are: [None] to disable IDE devices.
ÎIMPORTANT: If your hard disk was already formatted on an older previous
system, incorrect parameters may be detected. You will need to enter the
correct parameters manually or use low-level format if you do not need the
data stored on the hard disk. If the parameters listed differ from those used
when the disk was formatted, the disk will not be readable. If the auto-
detected parameters do not match those that should be used for your disk
you should enter the correct ones manually by setting [User].

screen, the setup messages are adapted to the format of the VFD display with 4
lines x 20 characters.
The different graphic cards have a fixed priority. A legacy VGA graphic card has
the highest priority, this means, all outputs are sent to this screen adapter re-
gardless of the presentation of an other display card. The priority stepping as
follows:
For the installing of IDE hard disks an auto configuration mode is installed in the

These fields indicate whether or not the displayed IRQ for each field is used by
a legacy ISA card. Two options are available: available and reserved. The first
option, the default value, indicates either that the displayed IRQ is not used or
an ISA Configuration Utility (ICU) is being used to determine if an ISA card is
using that IRQ. If you install a legacy ISA card that requires a unique IRQ and
you are not using an ICU, you must set the option for that IRQ to reserved.

Test points codes
At the beginning of each POST routine, the BIOS outputs the test point error
code to I/O port address 80h. Use this code during trouble shooting to establish
where the system failed and what routine has been performed.
If the BIOS detects a terminal error condition, it halts POST after issuing a ter-
minal error beep code and attempting to display the error code on the port 80h
LED display (diagnostic card). If the system hangs before the BIOS can process
the error, the value displayed at the port 80h is the last test 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:
Example:
The following is a list of the checkpoint codes written out to the diagnostic port 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.
