1.1.3 Light Fanless Technology Des ign
AFL2-17A/AB-H61 series panel PCs are des igned with light fanless technolog y. T he light
fanless technology utilizes K-type thermocouple temperature sensor to detect
environment temperature and control fan operation, enhancing system stability and
remote environment control. The relative errors between the detect environment
temperature and the actual environment temperature are no more than ±5 degrees. When
the environment temperature is lower than default temperature setting, the fan will be
switched off, showing the a dvantage of quiet and dust fr ee from fanless mode. W hile the
environment temperature is higher, the smart fan will be turned on to speed up heat
emission. The default temperature is 32 C and the setting ca n be adjusted in BIOS. See
Section 8.3.9. The s ystems can be easily implem ented in the working environments th at
require quiet and avoid dirt, like clean room, indoor HMI, and hospital.

2.4 LED Control API
2.4.1 Introduction
This chapter describes how to use the LED Control API to control the LED dash light of the
AFL2-17A-H61. The inf ormation provided belo w should be used with IBS_LEDCTRL.dll (v1.0.0.5) and SMBAPI Driver V1.1.
2.4.1.1 Supported Operating System
The LED Control API can only be used in a 32-bit operating system due to the limitation of
the iEi LED Control application driver (the driver is only for 32-bit operating system).
2.4.1.2 Supported Programming Language
The iEi LED Control application can be used in the following programming languages:
Microsoft Visual C/C++
Microsoft Visual Basic
Other programming languages that can be used to program DLL files
2.4.1.3 Applica tion Content
The iEi LED Control application includes the following files:
Brightness_Step [IN] – enter data structure array indicators (see Section 2.4.3 for
details)。
INFO_Size [IN] – describe the data structure array size.
Remarks: Call this function to send information control packets and use the information in the
packets to control LED.

Parameters: LED_Info – The target LED device address information (see Section 2.4.3.2
_LED_INFO for details ):structure
R_LEVEL、G_LEVEL、B_LEVEL – The brightness level of each LED:int
Remarks: The structure includes a target LED device address which should be an actual LED
address. It is the best if the LED device is composed of tri-color (R, G, B) LED. The
structure also contains the brightnes s le vel that each indiv i dual LED w ill show.
There are eight different brightness leve ls (0~7).

3.2 In te l® Core™ Desktop Processor
An Intel® 2nd generation Core™ desktop processor is installed in the system. The Sandy
Bridge CPU interfaces with the H61 chipset through a Direct Media Interf ace (DM I) and a
Flexible Display Interface (FDI).
3.3 Motherboard Components
The following sections describe some of the features on the motherboard.
3.3.1 Me mory Capacity
Two 204-pin 1066/1333 MHz dual-channe l DDR3 SDR AM SO-DIMMs supported (system
max. 16GB) in the AFL2-17A/AB-H61 and controlled by the Intel® Core™ desktop
processor installed on the internal motherboard.
3.3.2 Storage Capacity
The AFL2-17A/AB-H61 comes equipped with a 2.5” SATA 2.0 HDD drive ba y which can
be easily accessed by removing two screws on the HDD cover.
3.4 External Peripheral Interface Connectors
The following section describes the external peripheral interface connectors on the bottom
panel and left side panel of the system.
3.4.1 Se rial Port Connectors
The AFL2-17A/AB-H61 has three serial ports. COM1 and COM2 support only RS-232
serial communications . The other ser ial port (COM 3) can be conf igured as an RS-422 or
RS-485 serial port. Enabling COM devices to be powered through the COM port
eliminates unnecessary and messy cabling.

5.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
AFL2-17A/AB-H61 may result in perma
AFL2-17A/AB-H61 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL2-17A/AB-H61. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the AFL2-17A/AB-H61 is acces sed int er na lly, or any other
electrical component is handled, the fol lowing anti-static pr ecautions are strictl y 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 AFL2-17A/AB-H61, place it
on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
AFL2-17A/AB-H61.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
5.2 Installation Precautions
When installing the flat bezel pane l 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.
