installed


Explanation:
I think this just means "installed". The hardware is installed, then configured or personalised.

  -> Yes, the "af" bit seems to mean "final", so it'll be the points to you or Kenneth.

final installation (with a bit of rewording)


Explanation:
by analogy with 'afwerken'

Perhaps the hardware is initally (temporarily or provisionally) installed somewhere else (at the vendor's premises, perhaps) for testing, etc, and then the final installation is peformed at the customer's premises.
