Environmental Requirements and
Equipment Placement Considerations
This chapter provides an overview of the environmental requirements for the Oracle
MICROS POS equipment during operation and storage.
To ensure proper operation of the equipment, follow these environmental guidelines
for equipment placement:
• Location
• Foreign Materials
• Noise Induction
• Electrostatic Discharge
• Humidity
• Custom Cabinets and Enclosures
• Temperature
• Lithium Ion Battery Pack Storage Considerations
Location
Locate all equipment so that it is accessible to service personnel.
Tile is the recommended floor surface for areas surrounding the equipment. If the floor
covering adjacent to the equipment is carpeted, an anti-static grade is recommended.
If the carpeting surrounding the area housing the equipment is not composed of anti-
static material, the use of static discharge mats is recommended. The recommended
type of anti-static mat is one that incorporates a grounding clip with a cable, to attach
the grounding electrode to earth ground.
The Equipment Dimensions section contains dimensional information for each
hardware device in the system.
Foreign Materials
Liquid spillage can cause damage to the circuits in the MICROS workstations and
peripherals. Do not place the equipment near food preparation areas, glass racks, or
water stations.
Another source of potential hazard to the equipment, especially printers, is solid
matter, including paper clips, staples, or any other metallic objects. Safeguards should
be taken to prevent the accidental dropping of any such materials into the equipment.
