2.3.1.2 Additional Memory
The Intel® 945GSE is capable of supporting one 200-pin 2.0 GB (max.) 400 MHz or
533 MHz DDR2 SDRAM SO-DIMM. If additional memory is required, please contact an
IEI sales representative and discuss the necessary system requirement.
2.3.2 Storage Capacity
The AFL-15A-N270 series supports an easily installed CompactFlash® Type II (CF
Type II) memory disk. The AFL-15A-N270 also supports a 2.5” SATA drive through the
on-board SATA connector inside the chassis.
2.4 External Peripheral Interface Connectors
The following section describes the external peripheral interface connectors on the bottom
panel of the subsystem.
2.4.1 Serial Port Connectors
The AFL-15A-N270 has two serial ports. One of these ports (COM1) is RS-232 only port.
The other serial port (COM3) can be configured as a RS-232, RS-422 or an RS-485 serial
port. Pin 9 on both ports can be set as the normal ring (RI) signal or can be designated as
Page 25
a 5 V or 12 V power supply. Enabling COM devices to be powered through the COM port
eliminates unnecessary and messy cabling.

2.4.3 External USB Connectors
There are four USB 2.0 connectors on the bottom panel of the AFL-15A-N270. All USB 2.0
connectors are interfaced directly to the USB controllers on the ICH7-M southbridge.
These USB connectors are fully compliant with USB specification Revision 2.0 and USB
specification Revision 1.1 and can be interfaced to both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 compliant
devices.

2.8 System Power
2.8.1 Power Mode
The system can be run in the AT power mode or the ATX power mode. Both these power
modes are described below.
2.8.1.1 ATX Power Mode (Default)
With the ATX mode selected, the AFOLUX AFL-15A-N270 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
Page 29
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
2.8.1.2 AT Power Mode
With the AT mode selected, the power is controlled by a central power unit rather than a
power switch. The AFOLUX AFL-15A-N270 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
AFOLUX AFL-15A-N270 Panel PC
Plant environment monitoring system
Factory automation platform
Manufacturing shop flow
2.8.2 Power Adapter
The system is shipped with a 90 V to 264 V AC power adapter that has a maximum power
output of 60 W. The power adapter has a 12 V DC output connector.
2.8.3 Power Connector
There is one 4-pin 12 V power input connector on the bottom panel. The power connector
is shown in
Figure 2-10 below.
