Grounding Instructions
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with an electric
cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided—if it will not fit the outlet, have
the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow
stripes is the equipment–grounding conductor.
If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or
service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you are
in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
Use only 3–wire extension cords that have 3–prong grounding plugs and 3–pole
receptacles that accept the product’s plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cords
immediately.
6

missing, wrong or defective unit or item, simply provide NCR Voyix with a detailed
description of the issue and the item will be replaced free of charge.
Note
Used equipment that experiences a failure does not qualify as an OBF and should go
through the NCR Voyix warranty process.
Note
When leaving a message, please provide a phone number and/or an email
address so NCR Voyix can contact you if additional details are needed.

Product Overview
The NCR CX7 All-in-One POS (7772), powered by an Intel chipset (option of 8th Generation
Coffee Lake or 13th Generation Raptor Lake), features a sleek design, packed with superior
performance. The new, stylish design provides a wide range of configuration versatility. The
ability to configure with an I/O board that accommodates environments with more USB
devices or an I/O board that accommodates environments with more serial devices gives
customers the flexibility that prevents additional expansion boards or hubs.

Table Top Stand
Caution
When the CX Head is mounted on a Table Top Stand, it is NOT recommended to flip
the CX Head to transition to a customer's view. Constant flipping of the Head causes
friction on the cable and can lead to wear over an undetermined timeframe. If
constant transitioning to a customer's view is required on a daily basis, it is
recommended to mount the CX Head on a pole that permits rotation, such as the 14”
Surface Mount Pole (7772-K503) or 14” Bolt-thru Mount Pole (7772-K504).

The NCR CX7 All-in-One POS (7772) has a Projected Capacitive (PCAP) Touchscreen that
has the following features:
In addition, the active surface of PCAP touchscreens is not directly touched and does not
wear off by normal use because it is located on the back side of the touchscreen, instead of
the front side. Therefore, the NCR CX7 All-in-One POS (7772) can be used in public or in
severe environmental conditions.
138
Cleaning the Touchscreen
Touchscreens can be effectively cleaned with water or up to 70% isopropyl alcohol solution.
Follow these steps to avoid damage to the touchscreen:
Warning
Do not use sharp objects to clean around the edges of the touchscreen. Do not use
abrasive cleaners (powders) or abrasive cleaning materials (scrub brush, scouring
pad).
Warning
Do not use Windex or any similar alkaline (weak base) cleaner as it can degrade the
anti-glare coating.
1. Clean the screen using a non-abrasive cloth (microfiber cleaning cloth or cloth towel)
and water.
Warning
Do not apply any cleaning products directly to the screen. Do not soak the
cloth: wring it out before use.
Warning
Do not apply any cleaning products directly to the screen. Do not soak the
cloth: wring it out before use.
4. Ensure that the glass and screen edges are completely dry before using the unit.
139
Magnetic Stripe Reader
The Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) for the CX7 is an ISO 3-Track (Encrypted).
The card reading is bi-directional and can be mounted on Port A (right side) of the display.
Care of Cards
l Cards should never come in contact with liquids.
l Cards should never be bent or folded in any way.
l Cards should never come in close proximity of a magnetic field.
Card Thickness
The MSR module accepts standard cards within the thickness range of 0.68–0.84 mm.
140
Cleaning the MSR
Customers who are participating in the NCR Partnership Services Program can purchase
cleaning cards through NCR Services using the NCR Part Number.
Cleaning Frequency
For low use retail establishments, the cleaning procedures should be followed at least once
per month. In areas of extremely high traffic (in excess of 500 swipes per day) or an
operating environment that is high in contaminants, such as found in the food service
industry, a weekly cleaning should be performed.
141
Biometrics Fingerprint Reader
High quality fingerprint templates are imperative for the security of the biometric security
system. Low quality fingerprint templates can impact future read rates. Therefore, using the
Biometrics Module should be done very carefully. In case of inexperienced users who are
using the module for the first time, the process should be assisted (guided) by an
administrator or experienced user.
Under normal usage conditions dirt, residue, oils, and other materials can collect on users’
fingers. This can possibly cause poor collection of fingerprint data, which can cause
performance degradation. For the best results it is recommended that the user keep their
fingers relatively clean and free of residues that may alter the sensor performance.
Scotch tape can be used to clean fingers. Adhere the tape to the finger and then pull it off.
142
Cleaning the Sensor
Before each authentication, it is recommended that the user first clean the sensor. Place
adhesive tape onto the sensor and then pull it off. This assures that residue from previous
usage is removed.
Caution
Do not use abrasive materials to clean the sensor.
Software Drivers
The CX7 biometrics reader is a digitalPersona U.ARE.U 4500 Module. Please visit the
Crossmatch website for drivers and application developer tools.

Cleaning the CX7 Cabinet
1. Disconnect the unit from the AC outlet before cleaning.
2. Wipe the cabinet using a non-abrasive cloth (microfiber cleaning cloth or cloth towel)
dampened with soap and water solution.
Warning
Do not use alcohol (methyl, ethyl, or isopropyl) or any strong dissolvent. Do not
use thinner or benzene, abrasive cleaners (powders), abrasive cleaning
materials (scrub brush, scouring pad), or compressed air. Do not use any other
types of cleaners such as vinegar, solvents, degreasers, or ammonia-based
cleaners. These can damage the unit.
Warning
Avoid getting liquids inside the unit. If liquid does get inside, have a qualified
service technician check it before you power it on again.
144
Cleaning the Cooling Vents
The air vents on the back of the terminal should be cleaned periodically to maintain optimum
cooling for the CPU.
Use the hose attachment on a standard household vacuum cleaner to remove the dust from
the vents.
145

Saving an Image
The Select Image Location screen displays a terminal with three sets of In/Out arrow buttons,
indicating the direction of data flow when selected. Arrows pointing away from the terminal
are used to Save images to a device. Arrows pointing towards the terminal are used to Load
an image.
After the factory image is copied into the Recovery Partition, there is approximately 3GB
remaining in the 8GB partition. Any data stored as an incremental backup to this location is
152
compressed. A typical, large POS software installation will not outpace the constraints of the
local storage.
Backups to separate slots in the NCR Image Recovery Tool only increase the total storage
required by the amount of data added to the image. When the contents of the OS partition
become too large to store in the 8GB local Recovery Partition, then one of the alternate
storage methods available (USB or network) should be used to store backups.
Output Options

Configuring a Second SSD for RAID
Introduction
This chapter discusses how to add a second hard drive and configure a RAID system using
the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology.
The Intel® Rapid Storage Technology provides new levels of protection, performance, and
upgradeability for the CX7 platform. Whether using one or two hard drives you can take
advantage of enhanced performance and lower power consumption. When using two drives
you can have additional protection against data loss in the event of hard drive failure.
Valuable digital memories are protected against a hard drive failure when the system is
configured for one of the fault-tolerant RAID levels: RAID 1 or RAID 5. By seamlessly storing
copies of data on one or more additional hard drives, any hard drive can fail without data
loss or system downtime. When the failed drive is removed and a replacement hard drive is
installed, data fault tolerance is easily restored.
A RAID system can be configured using the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology through either
of the following:
Note
RAID Systems can be installed on the CX7 if the 7772-F242 RAID - Dual M.2 120GB
SSD feature is present.
172

Linux Software RAID Setup
This chapter explains how to setup an NCR Voyix released Linux OS to use Software RAID on
a supported POS terminal.
Note
For CX7ii: When using NMVe PCIe SSD drive types in combination with older Linux
distributions not advocated by NCR Voyix, the drives might not be recognized by the
operating system. For the drives to be recognized, turn off the VMD in the BIOS
setting. Linux distributions that are certified by NCR Voyix for use with CX7ii do not
require this adjustment.
The expected users are developers, testers, deployment and maintenance engineers, and
end users with advanced knowledge of Linux OS setup and administration. It is assumed that
the user is able to interface with the terminal using a command line, and is able to edit and
modify files using the command line.

Power Management
The BIOS supports the Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface (ACPI) 3.0
specification. A key feature of ACPI is that the operating system, not the BIOS, configures
and implements power management. The CX7 terminal supports the Global system power
states defined by ACPI.
Computer States
G3 Mechanical Off
A computer state that is entered and left by a mechanical means
Example
Turning off the system's power through the movement of a large red switch.
Various government agencies and countries require this operating mode. It is implied by the
entry of this off state through a mechanical means that no electrical current is running through
the circuitry and that it can be worked on without damaging the hardware or endangering
service personnel. The OS must be restarted to return to the Working state. No hardware
context is retained. Except for the real-time clock, power consumption is zero.
251
G1 Sleeping
A computer state where the computer consumes a small amount of power, user mode threads
are not being executed, and the system appears to be off (from an end user's perspective,
the display is off, and so on). Latency for returning to the Working state varies on the wake
environment selected prior to entry of this state (for example, whether the system should
answer phone calls). Work can be resumed without rebooting the OS because large
elements of system context are saved by the hardware and the rest by system software. It is
not safe to disassemble the machine in this state.
G0 Working
A computer state where the system dispatches user mode (application) threads and they
execute. In this state, peripheral devices (peripherals) are having their power state changed
dynamically. The user can select, through some UI, various performance/power
characteristics of the system to have the software optimize for performance or battery life. The
system responds to external events in real time. It is not safe to disassemble the machine in
this state.
Note
The CX7 does not support S1 state. Turning off the backlight and hard drives
provides the equivalent power savings (due to Intel's processor C-states feature)
at nearly zero latency.
252
l S3 (Suspend to Ram): The S3 sleeping state is a low wake latency sleeping state. This
state is similar to the S1 sleeping state except that the CPU and system cache context is
lost (the OS is responsible for maintaining the caches and CPU context). Control starts
from the processor's reset vector after the wake event. In NCR systems, during S3,
power is only provided to the USB 3.0 ports.
Note
When the terminal resumes from an S3 state, all the USB devices re-enumerate.
This causes speaker tones as if they were disconnected and then reconnected.
This does not present a problem and the USB devices will continue to operate
correctly.
l S4 (Suspend to Disk): The S4 state is the lowest power, longest wake latency
sleeping state supported by ACPI. In order to reduce power to a minimum, it is
assumed that the hardware platform has powered off all devices. Platform context is
maintained.
Requirements for S4 support:
l O/S must be built on a system with S3 enabled in the BIOS
l Some peripherals may not be S4 capable, which can prevent the system from
entering S4 state.
Reference the ACPI Specification for details.
Peripherals: ACPI defines power states for peripherals which are separate from the
system power state. The device power states range from D0 (fully-on) to D3 (off) It is the
responsibility of the driver developer for each peripheral to define and support the
available power states.
