2.2 Removing the Rear Panel

To access the AFL-08B-N270 internally the rear panel must be removed. To remove the

rear panel, please follow the steps below.

Step 1: Remove the retention screws (

Figure 2-1).

Page 27

Figure 2-1: Back Cover Retention Screws

AFL-08B-N270 User Manual

Step 2: Lift the cover and pull down the cover a bit to make it possible to fully remove it.

More strength is required to separate the cover from the chassis. Step 0:

WARNING:

Failing to reinstall the covers may result in permanent damage to the

system. Please make sure all coverings are properly installed.

WARNING:

Over-tightening rear cover screws will crack the plastic frame.

Maximum torque for cover screws is 5 kg-cm (0.36 lb-ft/0.49 Nm).

2.3 CF Card Installation

Page 28

The AFL-08B-N270 has one CF Type II slot inside the rear panel cover. The slot can be

accessed after removing the back cover. To install the CF card, follow the instructions

below.

Step 2: Adjust the AT/ATX switch. Step 0:

2.4.1 AT Power Mode

With the AT mode selected, the power is controlled by a central power unit rather than a

power switch. The AFL-08B-N270 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

Page 30

AFL-08B-N270 User Manual

2.4.2 ATX Power Mode

With the ATX mode selected, the AFL-08B-N270 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)

 Advertising terminal

2.5 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.

The following jumpers and switches can be changed after removing the rear cover.

If the AFL-08B-N270 fails to boot due to improper BIOS settings, the clear CMOS jumper

clears the CMOS data and resets the system BIOS information. To do this, use the jumper

cap to close the pins for a few seconds then remove the jumper clip.

If the “CMOS Settings Wrong” message is displayed during the boot up process, the fault

may be corrected by pressing the F1 to enter the CMOS Setup menu. Do one of the

following:

2.6 Mounting the System

WARNING!

When mounting the 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-08B-N270 are listed below.

 Wall mounting

 Panel mounting

 Arm mounting

 Rack mounting

The four mounting methods are described below.

Page 39

2.6.1 Wall Mounting

To mount the 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-08B-N270 User Manual

the four pilot holes and tightening them (

Figure 2-11: 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 panel PC and tighten until the screw

Figure 2-11).

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.

Step 8: Carefully insert the screws through the holes and gently pull the monitor

downwards until the monitor rests securely in the slotted holes (

Figure 2-12).

AFL-08B-N270 User Manual

Ensure that all four of the mounting screws fit snuggly into their respective

slotted holes.

NOTE:

In the diagram below the bracket is already installed on the wall.

Figure 2-12: Chassis Support Screws

Step 9: Secure the panel PC by fastening the retention screw of the wall-mounting

bracket. (

Figure 2-13).

Page 41

AFL-08B-N270 User Manual

Figure 2-13: Secure the Panel PC

2.6.2 Panel Mounting

To mount the AFL-08B-N270 panel PC into a panel, please follow the steps below.

Step 1: Select the position on the panel to mount the panel PC.

Step 2: Cut out a section from the panel that corresponds to the rear panel dimensions

of the 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 panel PC but just large

enough for the rear panel of the panel PC to fit through (

Figure 2-14).

Page 42

AFL-08B-N270 User Manual

Figure 2-14: AFL-08B-N270 Cutout Dimensions (units in mm)

Step 3: Slide the 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 (

Figure 2-15).

Step 5: Once the panel PC with the attached rack/cabinet bracket has been properly

inserted into the rack or cabinet, secure the front of the rack/cabinet bracket to

the front of the rack or cabinet (

Figure 2-18).

2.6.4 Arm Mounting

The AFL-08B-N270 is VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) compliant and can

be mounted on an arm with a 75mm interface pad. To mount the panel PC on an arm,

please follow the steps below.

Step 1: 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 mounting arm please ensure that it is VESA

compliant and that the arm has a 75 mm interface pad. If it is not VESA

Page 46

compliant, it cannot be used to support the AFL-08B-N270 panel PC.

AFL-08B-N270 User Manual

Step 2: Once the mounting arm has been firmly attached to the surface, lift the 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

panel PC. The arm mount retention screw holes are shown in

Figure 2-19.

Figure 2-19:AFL-08B-N270 Arm Mounting Retention Screw Holes
