Step 5: Adjust the AT/ATX switch. Step 0:
2.6.1 AT Power Mode
With the AT mode selected, the power is controlled by a central power unit rather than a
power switch. The AFL-517A-GM45 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
2.6.2 ATX Power Mode
With the ATX mode selected, the AFL-517A-GM45 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 controlled remotely. Other
possible application includes
Security surveillance
Point-of-Sale (POS)

2.7 Jumper Settings
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
AFL-517A-GM45 User Manual
plastic clip from a jumper.
The following jumpers can be found on the motherboard installed in the AFL-517A-GM45.
Before the AFL-517A-GM45 is installed, the jumpers must be set in accordance with the
desired configuration. The jumpers on the AFL-517A-GM45 motherboard are listed in

2.8 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 AFL-517A-GM45 are listed below.
Wall mounting
Panel mounting
Arm mounting
Rack mounting
The four mounting methods are described below.
Page 39
2.8.1 Wall Surface 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 screw holes in the bracket 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
AFL-517A-GM45 User Manual
the four pilot holes and tightening them (
Figure 2-12: Wall-mounting Bracket
Step 6: Insert the four monitor mounting screws provided in the wall mounting kit into the
four screw holes on the real panel of the flat panel PC and tighten until the screw
Figure 2-12).
Page 40
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.
Figure 2-13).
AFL-517A-GM45 User Manual
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.
Figure 2-13).
NOTE:
In the diagram below the bracket is already installed on the wall.
Figure 2-13: Chassis Support Screws
Step 9: Secure the panel PC by fastening the retention screw of the wall-mounting
bracket. (

AFL-517A-GM45 User Manual
Figure 2-14: Secure the Panel PC
2.8.2 Panel Mounting
To mount the AFL-517A-GM45 flat panel PC into a panel, please 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
of the flat panel PC. Take care that the panel section that is cut out is smaller
than the overall size of the metal frame that surrounds the flat panel PC but just
large enough for the rear panel of the flat panel PC to fit through (
Figure 2-15).
Page 42
AFL-517A-GM45 User Manual
Figure 2-15: AFL-517A-GM45 Cutout Dimensions (units in mm)
Step 3: Slide the flat panel PC through the hole until the aluminum frame is flush against
the panel.
Step 4: Insert the panel mounting clamps into the pre-formed holes along the edges of
the chassis, behind the aluminum frame.
Step 5: Tighten the screws that pass through the panel mounting clamps until the plastic
caps at the front of all the screws are firmly secured to the panel (

Page 46
When purchasing the arm please ensure that it is VESA compliant with a
100 mm interface pad. If the mounting arm is not VESA compliant it cannot
be used to support the AFL-517A-GM45 flat panel PC.
AFL-517A-GM45 User Manual
Step 7: Once the mounting arm has been firmly attached to the surface, lift the flat panel
PC onto the interface pad of the mounting arm.
Step 8: Align the retention screw holes on the mounting arm interface with those in the
flat panel PC. The arm mount retention screw holes are shown in
Figure 2-20.
