AFL-26/42A-9652 Panel PC
The AFL-26/42A-9652 is a large screen panel PC. There are 26” and 42” models. Both are
available with a super-tough front panel, capable of withstanding scratching and

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 a “draft 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.

2.10 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.

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.)
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.
Page 38
AFL-26/42A-9652 Panel PC
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.
