4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
AFL-08AH-N270-CR may result in permanent damage to the
AFL-08AH-N270-CR and severe injury to the user.
WARNING:
To avoid risk of electric shock, the AFL-08AH-N270-CR must only be
connected to a supply mains with protective earth.
AFL-08AH-N270-CR Panel PC
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL-08AH-N270-CR. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the AFL-08AH-N270-CR is accessed internally, or any
other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly
adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding: - Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: - When configuring the AFL-08AH-N270-CR, place it
on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
AFL-08AH-N270-CR.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.

4.6 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
plastic clip from a jumper.
4.6.1 Access the Jumpers
To access the jumpers, remove the back cover. To remove the back cover, please refer to

4.7 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.
Table 4-1.
Page 26
AFL-08AH-N270-CR Panel PC
The four methods of mounting the AFL-08AH-N270-CR are listed below.
Wall mounting
Panel mounting
Arm mounting
Rack mounting
The four mounting methods are described below.
4.7.1 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 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
the four pilot holes and tightening them (
Figure 4-3).
Figure 4-3: Wall-mounting Bracket
Page 27
Step 6: Insert the four monitor mounting screws provided in the wall mount kit into the
four screw holes on the real panel of the flat panel PC and tighten until the screw
AFL-08AH-N270-CR Panel PC
shank is secured against the rear panel (
Figure 4-4).
WARNING:
Please use the M4 screws provided in the wall mount kit for the rear panel.
If the screw is missing, the thread depth of the replacement screw should
be not more than 4 mm.
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.
Figure 4-4).
NOTE:
In the diagram below the bracket is already installed on the wall.
Page 28
AFL-08AH-N270-CR Panel PC

Step 9: Secure the panel PC by fastening the retention screw of the wall-mounting
bracket. (
Figure 4-5).
Figure 4-5: Secure the Panel PC
Page 29
4.7.2 Panel Mounting
To mount the AFL-08AH-N270-CR 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 frame that surrounds the flat panel PC but just large
AFL-08AH-N270-CR Panel PC
enough for the rear panel of the flat panel PC to fit through (see
Figure 4-6).
Figure 4-6: AFL-08AH-N270-CR Panel Opening
Step 3: Slide the flat panel PC through the hole until the frame is flush against the panel.
Step 4: Insert the panel mounting clamps into the pre-formed holes along the edges of
Page 30
the chassis, behind the 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 (
Figure 4-7).
AFL-08AH-N270-CR Panel PC
Figure 4-7: Tighten the Panel Mounting Clamp Screws
4.7.3 Arm Mounting
The AFL-08AH-N270-CR is VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) compliant
and can be mounted on an arm with a 75mm interface pad. To mount the
AFL-08AH-N270-CR 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.
NOTE:
When purchasing the arm please ensure that it is VESA compliant and that
the arm has a 75 mm interface pad. If the mounting arm is not VESA
compliant it cannot be used to support the AFL-08AH-N270-CR flat panel
PC.
Page 31
Step 2: 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 3: Align the retention screw holes on the mounting arm interface with those in the
flat panel PC. The AFL-08AH-N270-CR arm mount retention screw holes are
AFL-08AH-N270-CR Panel PC
shown in
Figure 4-8.
Figure 4-8: Arm Mounting Retention Screw Holes
