1.1 AFL2-12A-D525 Flat Bezel Panel PC Overview
Figure 1-1: AFL2-12A-D525 Flat Bezel Panel PC
The AFL2-12A-D525 is an Intel® Atom™ powered flat bezel panel PC with a rich variety of
functions and peripherals. The AFL2-12A-D525 is designed for easy and simplified
integration into kiosk and point-of-sales (POS) applications.
An Intel® Atom™ D525 graphics memory controller hub (GMCH) coupled with an Intel®
ICH8-M input/output controller hub ensures optimal memory, graphics, and peripheral I/O
support. The system comes with 1.0 GB of preinstalled DDR3 SDRAM ensuring smooth
data throughputs with reduced bottlenecks and fast system access.
Three serial ports and four external USB 2.0 ports ensure simplified connectivity to a
variety of external peripheral devices. Wi-Fi capabilities and dual RJ-45 Ethernet
connector provide the system with smooth connection to an external LAN. An optional

4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
AFL2-12A-D525 may result in permanent damage to the
AFL2-12A-D525 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL2-12A-D525. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the AFL2-12A-D525 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 AFL2-12A-D525, place it on
an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
AFL2-12A-D525.
Only handle the ed ges o f the PCB: - When ha ndlin g the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
4.2 Installation Precautions
When installing the flat bezel panel PC, please follow the precautions listed below:
Power turned off: When installing the flat bezel panel PC, make sure the
power is off. Failing to turn off the power may cause severe injury to the body
and/or damage to the system.
Certified Engineers: Only certified engineers should install and modify
onboard functionalities.
Page 41
Anti -st a tic Discharg e: If a user open the rear p anel of the flat bezel pan el PC,
to configure the jumpers or plug in added peripheral devices, ground
themselves first and wear and anti-static wristband.

4.9 Mounting the System
WARNING!
When mounting the flat bezel 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 AFL2-12A-D525 are listed below.
Wall mounting
Stand mounting
Arm mounting
Rack mounting
The four mounting methods are described below.
4.9.1 Wall Mounting
To mount the flat bezel 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 4-10).
Page 49
AFL2-12A-D525 Series Panel PC
Figure 4-10: Wall-mounting Bracket
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 bezel panel PC and tighten until the
screw shank is secured against the rear panel (
Figure 4-11).
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.
Page 50
AFL2-12A-D525 Series Panel PC
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 4-11).
NOTE:
In the diagram below the bracket is already installed on the wall.
Figure 4-11: Chassis Support Screws
Step 9: Secure the panel PC by fastening the retention screw of the wall-mounting
bracket. (
Figure 4-12). Step 0:

4.9.2 Stand Mounting
To mount the AFL2-12A-D525 using the stand mounting kit, please follow the ste ps below.
Step 1: Locate the screw holes on the rear of the AFL2-12A-D525. This is where the
bracket will be attached. (
Figure 4-13)
Page 52
Figure 4-13: Mounting screw location
Step 2: Align the bracket with the screw holes.
AFL2-12A-D525 Series Panel PC
Step 3: To secure the bracket to the AFL2-12A-D525, insert the retention screws into the
screw holes and tighten them. Step 0:
4.9.3 Arm Mounting
The AFL2-12A-D525 is VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) compliant and
can be mounted on an arm with a 100mm interface pad. To m ount the AFL2-12 A-D525 o n
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 or 100 mm interface pad. If the mounting arm is not
VESA compliant it cannot be used to support the AFL2-12A-D525 flat bezel
panel PC.
Step 2: Once the mounting arm has been firmly attached to the surface, lift the flat bezel
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 bezel panel PC (
Figure 4-14).
Page 53
AFL2-12A-D525 Series Panel PC
Figure 4-14: Arm Mounting Retention Screw Holes
Step 4: Secure the flat bezel panel PC to the interface pad by inserting four retention
screws through the bottom of the mounting arm interface pad and into the flat
bezel panel PC. Step 0:

AFL2-12A-D525 Series Panel PC
5.1 System Maintenance Introduction
If the components of the AFL2-12A-D525 fail they must be replaced. Components that can
be replaced include:
SO-DIMM module
WLAN Module
Please contact the system reseller or vendor to purchase the replacement parts. Back
cover removal instructions for the AFL2-12A-D525 are described below.
5.2 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
AFL2-12A-D525 may result in permanent damage to the
AFL2-12A-D525 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL2-12A-D525. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the AFL2-12A-D525 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 AFL2-12A-D525, place it on
an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
AFL2-12A-D525.
Only handle the ed ges o f the PCB: - When ha ndlin g the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
