AFL-W19A/W19B/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. External devices are connected wirelessly through Bluetooth technology and
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 300 K webcam and a microphone input jack.

2.5 Jumper Settings
AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-N270 Panel PC
NOTE:
A jumper is a metal bridge used to
close an electrical circuit. It consists of
two or three 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 following jumpers can be found on the motherboard installed in the
