AFL-W15A/17D-GM45 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. Network access is enabled through an 802.11b/g/n wireless adapter. Wired
options are always available on the rear panel, with two serial ports and four USB ports for
peripherals and two Gigabit Ethernet slots 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.
There is also a built-in 2-megapixel webcam and a microphone input jack.

2.5 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 jumpers are listed below.
