Figure 3-11: AFL-19A-CX HDD Bracket Retention Screws
Page 38
Step 4: Attach the HDD brackets to the HDD. To do this, align the four retention screw
holes in the both sides of the HDD bracket with the retention screw holes on the
sides of the HDD. Insert four retention screws into the HDD bracket (
Figure
AFOLUX CX Series Flat Panel PC
3-12).
Figure 3-12: AFL-CX HDD Retention Screws
Step 5: Connect the SATA/IDE cable to the rear of HDD.
Step 6: Install the HDD into the panel PC by aligning the retention screw holes in the
HDD brackets with the retention screw holes on the chassis. Insert the four
retention screws.
Step 7: Replace the aluminum back cover to the chassis.
Step 8: Replace the plastic back cover. Step 0:
3.7 AT/ATX Mode Selection
AT and ATX power modes can both be used on the AFOLUX CX series. The selection is
made through an AT/ATX switch on the aluminum chassis inside the plastic back cover
(
Figure 3-14). To select AT mode or ATX mode, follow the steps below.
Step 1: Remove the plastic back cover. See Section
Step 2: Locate the AT/ATX switch on the aluminu m chassis
(
Figure 3-13 and Figure 3-14).

Step 3: Adjust the AT/ATX switch. Step 0:
3.7.1 AT Power Mode
With the AT mode selected, the power is controlled by a central power unit rather than a
power switch. The AFOLUX CX 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
Plant environment monitoring system
Factory automation platform
Manufacturing shop flow
Page 40
AFOLUX CX Series Flat Panel PC
3.7.2 ATX Power Mode
With the ATX mode selected, the AFOLUX CX 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 since the
broadcasting time for each panel PC can be set individually and cont rolled remotely . Other
possible application includes
Security surveillance
Point-of-Sale (POS)
Advertising terminal
3.8 Mounting the System
WARNING!
When mounting the flat panel PC onto an arm, onto the wall or onto a
panel, it is better to have more than one person to help with the installation
to make sure the panel PC does not fall down and get damaged.
The four methods of mounting the AFOLUX CX are listed below.
Wall mounting
Stand/Arm mounting
The four mounting methods are described below.
3.8.1 Wall Mounting
To mount the flat panel PC onto the wall, please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Select the location on the wall for the wall-mounting bracket.
Step 2: Carefully mark the locations of the four brackets screw holes on the wall.
Step 3: Drill four pilot holes at the marked locations on the wall for the bracket retention

screws.
Step 4: Align the wall-mounting bracket screw holes with the pilot holes.
Step 5: Secure the mounting-bracket to the wall by inserting the retention screws into
FOLUX CX Series Flat Panel PC
the four pilot holes and tightening them (
Figure 3-15).
Figure 3-15: Wall-mounting Bracket
Step 6: Insert the four monitor mounting screws provided in the wall mounting kit into the
Page 42
four screw holes on the real panel of the flat panel PC and tighten until the screw
shank is secured against the rear panel (
Step 7: Align the mounting screws on the monitor rear panel with the mounting holes on
the bracket.
Step 8: Carefully insert the screws through the holes and gently pull the monitor
downwards until the monitor rests securely in the slotted holes (
Ensure that all four of the mounting screws fit snuggly into their respective
slotted holes.

3.8.2 Arm Mounting
The AFOLUX CX series is VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) compliant
and can be mounted on an arm with a 100mm interface pad. To mount the AFOLUX CX
series on an arm, please follow the steps below.
Step 1: The arm is a separately purchased item. Please correctly mount the arm onto
the surface it uses as a base. To do this, refer to the installation documentation
that came with the mounting arm.
Page 44
AFOLUX CX Series Flat Panel PC
NOTE:
When purchasing the arm please ensure that it is VESA compliant and that
the arm has a 100mm interface pad. If the mounting arm is not VESA
compliant it cannot be used to support the AFOLUX CX series flat panel
PC. The AFL-10A-CX and AFL-12B-CX also support VESA MIS-D 75.
Step 2: Once the mounting arm has been firmly attached to the surface, lift the flat p anel
PC onto the interface pad of the mounting arm.
Step 3: Align the retention screw holes on the mounting arm interface with those in the
flat panel PC. The AFL-CX arm mount retention screw holes are shown in
Figure 3-18 and Figure 3-19.

3.8.3 Panel Mounting (AFL-10A-CX/AFL-12B-CX Only)
To mount the AFL-10A-CX/AFL-12B-CX flat panel PC into a panel, plea se follow the steps
below.
Step 1: Select the position on the panel to mount the flat panel PC.
Step 2: Cut out a section from the panel that corresponds to the rear panel dimensions

4.1 System Maintenance Introduction
If the components of the AFOLUX CX series 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 AFOLUX CX series are described below.
4.2 Motherboard Replacement
A user cannot replace a motherboard. If the motherboard fails it must be shipped back to
IEI to be replaced. If the system motherboard has failed, please contact the system vendor ,
reseller or an IEI sales person directly.
4.3 Internal Aluminum Cover Removal
WARNING!
BEFORE REMOVING THE BACK COVER, MAKE SURE THE POWER IS
OFF. Failing to do so may lead to severe damage of AFOLUX CX series
and injury to the body.
WARNING!
PLEASE TAKE ANTISTATIC PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING WITH

4.5 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 comes with two jumpers. They are listed below.
