Compatibility
To ensure that the SurePOS Models 721/741/781 and 722/742/782 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 Models 721/741/781 and
722/742/782. 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 RAID
2
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. For more information,
see the IBM SurePOS 700 Software Installation Guide.
