1.1 Overview


Figure 1-1: AFL2-W15A-N270/L325

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 USB ports for peripherals and a Gigabit Ethernet jack 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 microphone.

AFL2-W15A-N270/L325 is opened.

Make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected whenever the AFL2-W15A-N270/L325 is being installed, moved or modified.

Do not apply voltage levels that exceed the specified voltage range.

Doing so may cause fire and/or an electrical shock.

Electric shocks can occur if the AFL2-W15A-N270/L325 chassis is opened when the AFL2-W15A-N270/L325 is running.

Do not drop or insert any objects into the ventilation openings of the

AFL2-W15A-N270/L325.

If considerable amounts of dust, water, or fluids enter the

AFL2-W15A-N270/L325

, turn off the power supply immediately, unplug the power cord, and contact the AFL2-W15A-N270/L325 vendor.

DO NOT do the following: o

DO NOT

drop the AFL2-W15A-N270/L325 against a hard surface. o

DO NOT

strike or exert excessive force onto the LCD panel. o

DO NOT

touch any of the LCD panels with a sharp object o

DO NOT

Table F-1: AH-6FH Sub-function

Call sub-function 2 to set the time-out period of Watchdog Timer first. If the time-out value is not zero, the Watchdog Timer starts counting down. When the timer value reaches zero, the system resets. To ensure that this reset condition does not occur, calling sub-function

2 must periodically refresh the Watchdog Timer. However, the watchdog timer is disabled if the time-out value is set to zero.

A tolerance of at least 10% must be maintained to avoid unknown routines within the operating system (DOS), such as disk I/O that can be very time-consuming.

NOTE:

When exiting a program it is necessary to disable the Watchdog Timer, otherwise the system resets.
