AFL-W19A/17D/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. 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.

ÎAuto-Detected Drive Parameters
The “grayed-out” items in the left frame are IDE disk drive parameters automatically
detected from the firmware of the selected IDE disk drive. The drive parameters are listed
as follows:
Device: Lists the device type (e.g. hard disk, CD-ROM etc.)
Page 50
AFL-W19A/17D/W15A-N270 Panel PC
Type: Indicates the type of devices a user can manually select
Vendor: Lists the device manufacturer
Size: List the storage capacity of the device.
LBA Mode: Indicates whether the LBA (Logical Block Addressing) is a method
of addressing data on a disk drive is supported or not.
Block Mode: Block mode boosts IDE drive performance by increasing the
amount of data transferred. Only 512 bytes of data can be transferred per
interrupt if block mode is not used. Block mode allows transfers of up to 64 KB
per interrupt.
PIO Mode: Indicates the PIO mode of the installed device.
Async DMA: Indicates the highest Asynchronous DMA Mode that is
supported.
Ultra DMA: Indicates the highest Synchronous DMA Mode that is supported.
S.M.A.R.T.: Indicates whether or not the Self-Monitoring Analysis and
Reporting Technology protocol is supported.
32Bit Data Transfer: Enables 32-bit data transfer.

4.1 System Maintenance Introduction
If the components of the AFL-W19A/17D/W15A-N270 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 AFL-W19A/17D/W15A-N270 are described below.
4.2 Motherboard Replacement
In the case of motherboard failure, please contact an IEI sales representative, reseller or
system vendor. The motherboard is accessible after opening the rear cover.
4.3 Cover Removal
WARNING!
Turn off the power before removing the back cover. Risk of
electrocution. Severe damage to the product and injury to the body
may occur if internal parts are touched while the power is still on.
WARNING!
Take antistatic precautions when working on the internal
components. Some internal components are easily damaged or
destroyed by electrostatic discharge. Take antistatic precautions to
prevent electrostatic discharge.
To replace any of the following components,
Memory module
Wireless LAN module
Inverter
The back cover of the AFL-W19A/17D/W15A-N270 must be removed. To remove the back
cover, loosen the four silver screws, slide the cover down and then lift to remove.
