Figure 1-1: AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45

AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45 Panel PC

The Afolux panel PCs are all-in-one panel PCs with all the elements of a desktop

computer contained in a single, slim package, no bigger than a thick monitor. The Afolux

panel PCs can be mounted on a desktop monitor stand and save a huge amount of

desktop space by including all the computer components behind the screen. All models

include a touch screen interface.

The Afolux is a self-contained system, with all parts, excluding the power supply,

contained inside the casing allowing a completely interactive panel PC with only a single

power cable. Network access is enabled through a 802.11b/g/n wireless adapter. Wired

options are always available on the rear panel, with two serial ports and four USB ports for

peripherals and two Gigabit Ethernet slots for networking.

The Afolux includes both audio and visual multimedia capabilities. All models have a VGA

output for connecting another monitor to the system, and audio outputs for external audio.

There is also a built-in 300 K webcam and a microphone input jack.

AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45 Panel PC

NOTE:

A jumper is a metal bridge that is used to close an electrical circuit. It

consists of two 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.

A Safety Precautions

Appendix

Page 79

WARNING:

The precautions outlined in this chapter should be strictly followed.

Failure to follow these precautions may result in permanent damage to

the AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45.

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.

AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45 Panel PC

 Follow the electrostatic precautions outlined below whenever the

AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45 is opened.

 Make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disco nnected

whenever the AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45 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 AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45

chassis is opened when the AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45 is running.

 Do not drop or insert any objects into the ventilation openings of the

AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45.

 If considerable amounts of dust, water, or fluids enter the

AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45, turn off the power supply immediately,

unplug the power cord, and contact the AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45

vendor.

 DO NOT do the following:

o DO NOT drop the AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45 against a hard

Page 80

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

AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45 Panel PC

o DO NOT use the AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45 in a site where the

ambient temperature exceeds the rated temperature

A.1.2 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:

Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the

AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45 may result in permanent damage

to the AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45 and sever injury to the user.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,

including the AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45. Dry climates are especially susceptible

to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45 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.

AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45 Panel PC

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:

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 AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45, please follow the

guidelines below.

A.2.1 Maintenance and Cleaning

Prior to cleaning any part or component of the AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45,

please read the details below.

Page 82

AFL-W19A/W19B/17D/W15A-GM45 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.

C.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. This tool provides quick and easy shortcuts for creating a backup and

reverting to that backup or reverting to the factory default settings.

NOTE:

The latest One Key Recovery software provides an auto recovery

function that allows a system running Microsoft Windows OS to

automatically restore from the factory default image after encountering

a Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) or a hang for around 10 minutes.

Please refer to Section

C.3 for the detailed setup procedure.

The IEI One Key Recovery tool menu is shown below.
