AFL2-W15A-N270 Panel PC
The Afolux panel PCs are all-in-one panel PCs with all the elements of a desktop
computer contained in a single, slim package, no bigger than a thick monitor. The Afolux
panel PCs can be mounted on a desktop monitor stand and save a huge amount of
desktop space by including all the computer components behind the screen. All models
include a touch screen interface.
The Afolux is a self-contained system, with all parts, excluding the power supply,
contained inside the casing allowing a completely interactive panel PC with only a single
power cable. External devices are connected wirelessly through an 802.11b/g/n wireless
adapter. Wired options are always available on the rear panel, with two serial ports and
USB ports for peripherals and a Gigabit Ethernet jack for networking.
The Afolux includes both audio and visual multimedia capabilities. All models have a VGA
output for connecting another monitor to the system, and audio outputs for external audio.

therefore critical that whenever the AFL2-W15A-N270 is opened and any of the electrical
components are handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging any electrical component.
Self-grounding: Before handling any electrical component, touch any
grounded conducting material. During the time the electrical component is
handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the
ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring or working with an electrical
component, place it on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD
damage.
Only handle the edges of the electrical component: When handling the
electrical component, hold the electrical component by its edges.

To create the system backup, the main storage device must be split into two partitions
(three partitions for Linux). The first partition will be for the operating system, while the
second partition will be invisible to the operating system and contain the backup made by
the one key recovery software.
The partition created for recovery images must be big enough to contain both the factory
default image and the user backup image. The size must be calculated before creating the
partitions. Please take the following table as a reference when calculating the size of the
partition.
