Durable, flexible, affordable |
| A rugged point-of-sale system designed specifically for
tough retail environments |
| |
| As the focal point of transactional activity, retail point-of-sale
(POS) systems are subject to more stressful conditions than PCs used
at home or in an office environment. Whereas PCs are typically dedicated
to a single user for a few hours each day, POS systems are handled
by multiple persons over a longer period of time and have greater
exposure to dust, temperature extremes and unpredictable power surges.
Additionally, to meet the diverse requirements of a busy retail environment,
POS systems often have multiple peripherals attached that may be frequently
plugged and unplugged as they are moved from cash point to cash point
to accommodate current store needs. |
| |
| To address the unique demands of the retail marketplace, HP introduced
the HP Point of Sale rp5000 System in August 2003. This affordable,
retail-ready solution is ruggedly designed to withstand the rigors
of a stressful retail environment. The HP rp5000 features a steel
chassis for durability and protection, extra fans for cooling, and
an oversized heat sink and power supply. Gold interior connectors
for long wear and recessed, locking connectors for exterior cabling
to prevent accidental unplugging help ensure the system is up and
running whenever the store is open. These features, coupled with extensive
on-board monitoring and alerts and extreme environment and shock testing,
all contribute to the exceptional toughness and dependability of the
HP rp5000. |
| |
| In addition to its rugged design, the HP rp5000 also gives you the
flexibility to customize your POS solution to your unique needs with
new HP retail peripherals. With a small footprint to save counter
space, HP retail peripherals are easy to set up and use, and are fully
tested and integrated with the HP rp5000 to provide a reliable solution
for all your POS transactions. The industry-standard architecture
makes it the perfect in-store computing platform for years of service.
Customize your POS system with any of these affordably priced HP retail
peripherals, including: |
| |
| Also available as part of the solution is your choice of operating
systems: Windows Embedded for Point of Service (WEPOS) or Windows
XP Professional. The Microsoft Point of Sale (POS) application will
also be available pre-loaded as part of the total packaged solution. |
| |
| A powerful, adaptable solution to meet your needs—and
budget |
| |
| The HP rp5000 brings together advanced technologies and enhanced
POS functionality to deliver a robust, flexible solution that can
adapt and grow as your retail business needs change. The system integrates
four powered serial ports, four powered USB ports and two standard
USB 2.0 ports for connectivity to almost any POS peripheral (with
optional power switching). It also offers two full-height PCI slots
for easy expansion, including wireless peripherals. Together, these
connectivity options provide both forward and backward compatibility,
protecting your past and future investments. |
| |
| By combining all the features and functionality of a POS solution
with the economies of scale of the desktop PC market, the HP rp5000
helps drive down both the cost of acquisition and long-term total
cost of ownership. The system’s rugged design and long lifecycle
components, made to support typical in-store POS use, is a substantial
differentiation from an average PC. This flexibility and enhanced
functionality of the HP rp5000 frees you from both POS systems which
run limited applications and standard PCs lacking genuine POS functionality,
truly delivering the best of both worlds—a reliable, retail-specialized
solution at an affordable PC price. |
