Page 79
4.1 System Maintenance Introduction
If the components of the AFL2-W15A-N270 fail they must be replaced, such as the
wireless LAN module or the motherboard. Please contact the system reseller or vendor to
purchase the replacement parts. Memory module replacement instruction for the
AFL2-W15A-N270 is described below.
4.2 Motherboard Replacement
In the case of motherboard failure, please contact an IEI sales representative, reseller or
system vendor. The motherboard is accessible after opening the rear cover.

steps below to replace it.
AFL2-W15A-N270 Panel PC
Step 1: Remove the back cover. See Section
Step 2: Locate the memory module on the motherboard of the flat panel PC
Step 3: Remove the memory module by pulling both the spring retainer clips outward
from the socket.
Step 4: Grasp the memory module by the edges and carefully pull it out of the socket.
Step 5: Install the new memory module by inserting it at an angle, then pushing down
until the clips snap into place (
Figure 4-1).Step 0:

A Safety Precautions
Appendix
A
Page 81
WARNING:
The precautions outlined in this chapter should be strictly followed.
Failure to follow these precautions may result in permanent damage to
the AFL2-W15A-N270.
A.1 Safety Precautions
Please follow the safety precautions outlined in the sections that follow:
A.1.1 General Safety Precautions
Please ensure the following safety precautions are adhered to at all times.
AFL2-W15A-N270 Panel PC
Follow the electrostatic precautions outlined below whenever the
AFL2-W15A-N270 is opened.
Make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disco nnected
whenever the AFL2-W15A-N270 is being installed, moved or modified.
Do not apply voltage levels that exceed the specified voltage range.
Doing so may cause fire and/or an electrical shock.
Electric shocks can occur if the AFL2-W15A-N270 chassis is opened when
the AFL2-W15A-N270 is running.
Do not drop or insert any objects into the ventilation openings of the
AFL2-W15A-N270.
If considerable amounts of dust, water, or fluids enter the
AFL2-W15A-N270, turn off the power supply immediately, unplug the power
cord, and contact the AFL2-W15A-N270 vendor.
DO NOT do the following:
o DO NOT drop the AFL2-W15A-N270 against a hard surface.
o DO NOT strike or exert excessive force onto the LCD panel.
o DO NOT touch any of the LCD panels with a sharp object
Page 82
oDO NOT use the AFL2-W15A-N270 in a site where the ambient
temperature exceeds the rated temperature
AFL2-W15A-N270 Panel PC
A.1.2 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the
AFL2-W15A-N270 may result in permanent damage to the
AFL2-W15A-N270 and sever injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL2-W15A-N270. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the AFL2-W15A-N270 is opened and any of the electrical
components are 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 any electrical component.
Self-grounding: Before handling any electrical component, touch any
grounded conducting material. During the time the electrical component is
handled, frequently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the
ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring or working with an electrical
component, place it on an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD
damage.
Only handle the edges of the electrical component: When handling the
electrical component, hold the electrical component by its edges.
Page 83
A.1.3 Product Disposal
CAUTION:
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by and incorrect type. Only
certified engineers should replace the on-board battery.
Dispose of used batteries according to instructions and local
regulations.
Outside the European Union - If you wish to dispose of used electrical and
electronic products outside the European Union, please contact your local
authority so as to comply with the correct disposal method.
Within the European Union:
AFL2-W15A-N270 Panel PC
EU-wide legislation, as implemented in each Member State, requires that
waste electrical and electronic products carrying the mark (left) must be
disposed of separately from normal household waste. This includes
monitors and electrical accessories, such as signal cables or power cords.
When you need to dispose of your display products, please follow the
guidance of your local authority, or ask the shop where you purchased the product. The
mark on electrical and electronic products only applies to the current European Union
Member States.
Please follow the national guidelines for electrical and electronic product disposal.
A.2 Maintenance and Cleaning Precautions
When maintaining or cleaning the AFL2-W15A-N270, please follow the guidelines below.
A.2.1 Maintenance and Cleaning
Prior to cleaning any part or component of the AFL2-W15A-N270, please read the details
Page 84
below.
AFL2-W15A-N270 Panel PC
Except for the LCD panel, never spray or squirt liquids directly onto any other
components. To clean the LCD panel, gently wipe it with a piece of soft dry
cloth or a slightly moistened cloth.
The interior does not require cleaning. Keep fluids away from the interior.
Be careful not to damage the small, removable components inside.
Turn off before cleaning.
Never drop any objects or liquids through the openings.
Be cautious of any possible allergic reactions to solvents or chemicals used
when cleaning.
Avoid eating, drinking and smoking nearby.
A.2.2 Cleaning Tools
Some components may only be cleaned using a product specifically designed for the
purpose. In such case, the product will be explicitly mentioned in the cleaning tips. Below
is a list of items to use for cleaning.
Cloth – Although paper towels or tissues can be used, a soft, clean piece of
cloth is recommended.
Water or rubbing alcohol – A cloth moistened with water or rubbing alcohol
should be used.
Using solvents – The use of solvents is not recommended as they may
damage the plastic parts.
Vacuum cleaner – Using a vacuum specifically designed for computers is
one of the best methods of cleaning. Dust and dirt can restrict the airflow and
cause circuitry to corrode
Cotton swabs - Cotton swaps moistened with rubbing alcohol or water are
excellent tools for wiping hard to reach areas.
Foam swabs - Whenever possible, it is best to use lint free swabs such as
foam swabs for cleaning.

AFL2-W15A-N270 Panel PC
B.1 One Key Recovery Introduction
The IEI one key recovery is an easy-to-use front end for the Norton Ghost system backup
and recovery tool. The one key recovery provides quick and easy shortcuts for creating a
backup and reverting to that backup or for reverting to the factory default settings.
The IEI One Key Recovery tool menu is shown below.

75B.2.3)
After completing the five initial setup procedures as described above, users can access
the recovery tool by pressing <F3> while booting up the system. The detailed information
of each function is described in Section
75B.4.
NOTE:
The initial setup procedures for Linux system are described in
Section
75B.3.
Page 87
B.1.1 System Requirement
NOTE:
The recovery CD can only be used with IEI products. The software will
fail to run and a warning message will appear when used on non-IEI
hardware.
AFL2-W15A-N270 Panel PC
To create the system backup, the main storage device must be split into two partitions
(three partitions for Linux). The first partition will be for the operating system, while the
second partition will be invisible to the operating system and contain the backup made by
the one key recovery software.
The partition created for recovery images must be big enough to contain both the factory
default image and the user backup image. The size must be calculated before creating the
partitions. Please take the following table as a reference when calculating the size of the
partition.
