3.7 AT/ATX Mode Selection

AT and ATX power modes can both be used on the AFOLUX LX series. The selection is
made through an AT/ATX switch on the aluminum chassis inside the plastic back cover
(
Figure 3-9). To select AT mode or ATX mode, follow the steps below.
Step 1: Remove the plastic back cover. See Section
Step 2: Locate the AT/ATX switch on the aluminum chassis (
Figure 3-9: AT/ATX Switch Location
Step 3: Adjust the AT/ATX switch. Step 0:
3.5 above.

3.7.1 AT Power Mode

Figure 3-9).
With the AT mode selected, the power is controlled by a central power unit rather than a
power switch. The AFOLUX LX panel PC turns on automatically when the power is
connected. The AT mode benefits a production line to control multiple panel PCs from a
central management center and other applications including:
ATM
Self-service kiosk
Plant environment monitoring system
Factory automation platform
Manufacturing shop flow
Page 33
A

3.7.2 ATX Power Mode

With the ATX mode selected, the AFOLUX LX panel PC goes in a standby mode when it
is turned off. The panel PC can be easily turned on via network or a power switch in
standby mode. Remote power control is perfect for advertising applications since the
broadcasting time for each panel PC can be set individually and controlled remotely. Other
possible application includes
Security surveillance
Point-of-Sale (POS)
Advertising terminal

3.8 Mounting the System

FOLUX LX Series Flat Panel PC
WARNING!
When mounting the flat panel PC onto an arm, onto the wall or onto a
panel, it is better to have more than one person to help with the installation
to make sure the panel PC does not fall down and get damaged.
The four methods of mounting the AFOLUX LX are listed below.
Wall mounting
Panel mounting
Arm mounting
Rack mounting
The four mounting methods are described below.

3.8.1 Wall Mounting

Page 34
To mount the flat panel PC onto the wall, please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Select the location on the wall for the wall-mounting bracket.
Step 2: Carefully mark the locations of the four brackets screw holes on the wall.
AFOLUX LX Series Flat Panel PC
Step 3: Drill four pilot holes at the marked locations on the wall for the bracket retention
screws.
Step 4: Align the wall-mounting bracket screw holes with the pilot holes.
Step 5: Secure the mounting-bracket to the wall by inserting the retention screws into
the four pilot holes and tightening them (
Figure 3-10).
Figure 3-10: Wall-mounting Bracket
Step 6: Insert the four monitor mounting screws provided in the wall mounting kit into the
four screw holes on the real panel of the flat panel PC and tighten until the screw
shank is secured against the rear panel (
Step 7: Align the mounting screws on the monitor rear panel with the mounting holes on
the bracket.
Step 8: Carefully insert the screws through the holes and gently pull the monitor
downwards until the monitor rests securely in the slotted holes (
Ensure that all four of the mounting screws fit snuggly into their respective
slotted holes.
Figure 3-11).
Figure 3-11).

Figure 3-12: Secure the Panel PC

3.8.2 Panel Mounting

To mount the AFOLUX LX series flat panel PC into a panel, please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Select the position on the panel to mount the flat panel PC.
Step 2: Cut out a section from the panel that corresponds to the rear panel dimensions
of the flat panel PC. Take care that the panel section that is cut out is smaller
than the overall size of the metal frame that surrounds the flat panel PC but just
large enough for the rear panel of the flat panel PC to fit through (
Figure 3-14 and Figure 3-15).

AFOLUX LX Series Flat Panel PC
Figure 3-16: AFL-12A-LX Panel Opening
Step 3: Slide the flat panel PC through the hole until the aluminum frame is flush against
the panel.
Step 4: Insert the panel mounting clamps into the pre-formed holes along the edges of
the chassis, behind the aluminum frame. There are a total of 4 panel mounting
clamps for AFL-07A-LX/ AFL-08A-LX and 6 panel mounting clamps for
AFL-10A-LX/AFL-12A-LX.
Step 5: Tighten the screws that pass through the panel mounting clamps until the plastic
caps at the front of all the screws are firmly secured to the panel (
Step 0:
Figure 3-17).

Figure 3-17: Tighten the Panel Mounting Clamp Screws (AFL-10A/12A-LX)

3.8.3 Arm Mounting

The AFOLUX LX series is VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) compliant and
can be mounted on an arm with a 75mm or 100mm interface pad. To mount the AFOLUX
LX series on an arm, please follow the steps below.
Step 1: The arm is a separately purchased item. Please correctly mount the arm onto
the surface it uses as a base. To do this, refer to the installation documentation
that came with the mounting arm.
NOTE:
When purchasing the arm please ensure that it is VESA compliant and that
Page 40
the arm has a 75mm interface pad. If the mounting arm is not VESA
compliant it cannot be used to support the AFOLUX LX series flat panel
PC. The AFL-10A-LX and AFL-12A-LX also support VESA MIS-D 100.
AFOLUX LX Series Flat Panel PC
Step 2: Once the mounting arm has been firmly attached to the surface, lift the flat panel
PC onto the interface pad of the mounting arm.
Step 3: Align the retention screw holes on the mounting arm interface with those in the
flat panel PC. The AFL-07A-LX/ AFL-07A-LX arm mount retention screw holes
are shown in
Figure 3-18 and the AFL-10A-LX/AFL-12A-LX are shown in
Figure 3-19.

A
Step 4: Secure the flat panel PC to the interface pad by inserting four retention screws
through the bottom of the mounting arm interface pad and into the flat panel PC.
Step 0:

3.8.4 Cabinet and Rack Installation

The AFL LX series flat panel PC can be installed into a cabinet or rack. The installation
procedures are similar to the panel mounting installation. To do this, please follow the
steps below:
NOTE:
When purchasing the cabinet/rack installation bracket, make sure it is
compatible with both the AFL LX series flat panel PC and the rack/cabinet

FOLUX LX Series Flat Panel PC

4.1 System Maintenance Introduction

If the components of the AFOLUX LX series fail they must be replaced, such as the
wireless LAN module or the motherboard. Please contact the system reseller or vendor to
purchase the replacement parts. Back cover removal instructions and jumper settings for
the AFOLUX LX series are described below.

4.2 Motherboard Replacement

A user cannot replace a motherboard. If the motherboard fails it must be shipped back to
IEI to be replaced. If the system motherboard has failed, please contact the system vendor,
reseller or an IEI sales person directly.

4.3 Internal Aluminum Cover Removal

WARNING!
BEFORE REMOVING THE BACK COVER, MAKE SURE THE POWER IS OFF. Failing to do so may lead to severe damage of AFOLUX LX series
and injury to the body.
WARNING!
PLEASE TAKE ANTISTATIC PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS. The interior of the AFOLUX LX series
contains very sensitive electronic components. These components are
easily damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Before working with the
internal components make sure all the anti-static precautions described
earlier have been observed.

4.5 Jumper Settings

NOTE:
A jumper is a metal bridge that is used to
close an electrical circuit. It consists of
two metal pins and a small metal clip
(often protected by a plastic cover) that
slides over the pins to connect them. To
CLOSE/SHORT a jumper means
connecting the pins of the jumper with
the plastic clip and to OPEN a jumper
means removing the plastic clip from a
jumper.
The motherboard comes with two jumpers. They are listed below.
