Speaker Bar

The speaker bar will contain two speakers and an audio amplifier. The speakers in the speaker bar will provide improved sound quality and higher volumes over the internal speakers. The circuitry will be designed such that when the speaker bar is connected to the POST, the 2 internal speakers will be disconnected.

The optional speaker bar may also come with two optional USB barcode scanners (1-D or omni-directional). The barcode scanner is only an option if the speaker bar is present. When a scanner is chosen, a USB-SSI (Simple Serial Interface) converter board is included. Both barcode scanners are powered with the USB interface.
