Figure 1-1: AFL2-12A-HM65 Flat Bezel Panel PC
nd
The AFL2-12A-HM65 is a 2
powered flat bezel panel PC with a rich variety of functions and peripherals. The
AFL2-12A-HM65 is designed for easy and simplified integration into kiosk and
point-of-sales (POS) applications.
An Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 processor or Celeron® processor coupled with an Intel® HM65
input/output controller hub ensures optimal memory, graphics, and peripheral I/O support.
The system supports DDR3 SDRAM ensuring smooth data throughputs with reduced
bottlenecks and fast system ac cess.
Three serial ports, two external USB 2.0 ports and two external USB 3.0 ports ensure
simplified connectivity to a variety of external peripheral devices. Wi-Fi capabilities and the
RJ-45 Ethernet connector provide the system with smooth connection to an external LAN.
An optional MSR card reader can equip the syst em for scanning credit cards, ide ntification
cards, loyalty cards, gift cards, and more.

4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
AFL2-12A-HM65 may result in permanent damage to the
AFL2-12A-HM65 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL2-12A-HM65. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the AFL2-12A-HM65 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-HM65, place it on
an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
AFL2-12A-HM65.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling 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 25
Anti-static Discharge : If a user open the rear p anel of the flat bezel panel PC,
to configure the jumpers or plug in added peripheral devices, ground
themselves first and wear and anti-static wristband.

can be mounted on an arm with a 100mm interface pad. To mount the AFL2-12A-HM65
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 100 mm interface pad. If the mounting arm is not VESA
AFL2-12A-HM65 Series Panel PC
compliant it cannot be used to support the AFL2-12A-HM65 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 (
6Figure 4-7).

5 System Maintenance
Page 50
AFL2-12A-HM65 Series Panel PC
5.1 System Maintenance Introduction
If the components of the AFL2-12A-HM65 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-HM65 are described below.
5.2 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
AFL2-12A-HM65 may result in permanent damage to the
AFL2-12A-HM65 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL2-12A-HM65. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the AFL2-12A-HM65 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-HM65, place it on
an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
AFL2-12A-HM65.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
