3.8.1 AT Power Mode
With the AT mode selected, the power is controlled by a central power unit rather than a
power switch. The AFL-915 series panel PC turns on automatically when the power is
connected. The AT mode benefits a production line to control multiple panel PCs from a
central management center and other applications including:
ATM
Self-service kiosk
Plant environment monitoring system
Factory automation platform
Manufacturing shop flow
3.8.2 ATX Power Mode
With the ATX mode selected, the AFL-915 series panel PC goes in a standby mode when
it is turned off. The panel PC can be easily turned on via network or a power switch in
standby mode. Remote power control is perfect for advertising applications since the
broadcasting time for each panel PC can be set individually and controlled remotely. Other
possible applications include:

3.9 Mounting the System
WARNING!
When mounting the flat 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 AFL-915 series are listed below.
AFOLUX 915 Series Flat Panel PC
Wall mounting
Panel mounting
Arm mounting
Rack mounting
The four mounting methods are described below.
3.9.1 Wall Mounting
To mount the flat 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 brackets screw holes 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.
Page 42
Step 5: Secure the mounting-bracket to the wall by inserting the retention screws into
the four pilot holes and tightening them (
Figure 3-11).
AFOLUX 915 Series Flat Panel PC
Figure 3-11: Wall-mounting Bracket
Step 6: Insert the four monitor mounting screws provided in the wall mounting kit into the
four screw holes on the real panel of the flat panel PC and tighten until the screw
shank is secured against the rear panel (
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.

3.9.2 Panel Mounting
To mount the AFL-915 series flat panel PC into a panel, please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Select the position on the panel to mount the flat panel PC.
Step 2: Cut out a section from the panel that corresponds to the rear panel dimensions
of the flat panel PC. Take care that the panel section that is cut out is smaller
than the overall size of the metal frame that surrounds the flat panel PC but just
large enough for the rear panel of the flat panel PC to fit through (
Figure 3-15 and Figure 3-16).
Figure 3-14,

Figure 3-16: AFL-19A-915 Cutout Dimensions (units in mm)
Step 3: Slide the flat panel PC through the hole until the aluminum frame is flush against
the panel.
Step 4: Insert the panel mounting clamps into the pre-formed holes along the edges of
the chassis, behind the aluminum frame.
Step 5: Tighten the screws that pass through the panel mounting clamps until the plastic
caps at the front of all the screws are firmly secured to the panel (
Step 0:
Figure 3-17).
Page 47
AFOLUX 915 Series Flat Panel PC
Figure 3-17: Tighten the Panel Mounting Clamp Screws
3.9.3 Arm Mounting
The AFL-915 series is VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) compliant and
can be mounted on an arm with a 100mm interface pad. To mount the AFO-915 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
Page 48
the arm has a 100mm interface pad. If the mounting arm is not VESA
compliant it cannot be used to support the AFO-915 series flat panel PC.
AFOLUX 915 Series Flat Panel PC
Step 2: Once the mounting arm has been firmly attached to the surface, lift the flat 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 panel PC, as shown in
Figure 3-18: Arm Mounting Retention Screw Holes
Figure 3-18.
AA
Step 4: Secure the flat panel PC to the interface pad by inserting four retention screws
through the bottom of the mounting arm interface pad and into the flat panel PC.
Step 0:
3.9.4 Cabinet and Rack Installation
The AFL-915 series flat panel PC can be installed into a cabinet or rack. The installation
procedures are similar to the panel mounting installation. To do this, please follow the
steps below:
Page 49
AFOLUX 915 Series Flat Panel PC
NOTE:
When purchasing the cabinet/rack installation bracket, make sure it is
compatible with both the AFL-915 series flat panel PC and the rack/cabinet
into which the AFL-915 series is installed.
Step 1: Slide the rear of the AFL-915 series flat panel PC through the rack/cabinet
bracket until the aluminum frame is flush against the front of the bracket (
3-19).
Figure
Figure 3-19: The Rack/Cabinet Bracket
Step 2: Insert the rack mounting clamps into the pre-formed holes along the edges of
the flat panel PC, behind the ABS/PC plastic frame.
Page 50
Step 3: Tighten the screws that pass through the rack mounting clamps until the plastic

AFOLUX 915 Series Flat Panel PC
4.1 Introduction
If the components of the AFL-915 series 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. Back cover removal instructions and jumper settings for
the AFL-915 series are described below.
4.2 Motherboard Replacement
A user cannot replace a motherboard. If the motherboard fails it must be shipped back to
IEI to be replaced. If the system motherboard has failed, please contact the system vendor,
reseller or an IEI sales person directly.
4.3 Internal Aluminum Cover Removal
WARNING!
Turn the power off before removing the back cover. Failing to do so
may lead to severe damage of AFL-915 series and injury to the body.
WARNING!
Take antistatic precautions when working with internal components.
The interior of the AFL-915 series contains very sensitive electronic
components. These components are easily damaged by electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Before working with the internal components make sure
all the anti-static precautions described earlier have been observed.
To replace any of the following components,

4.5 Jumper Settings
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.
The motherboard comes with ten jumpers. They are listed below.

CPU temperature at which the cooling fan should automatically turn off. To select a value,
select the CPU Temp. Limit of OFF option and enter a decimal number between 000 and
127. The temperature range is specified below.
Minimum Value: 0°C
Maximum Value: 127°C

Temperature 1 Limit of Start [020]
WARNING:
Setting this value too high may cause the fan to start only when the
CPU is at a high temperature and therefore cause the system to be
damaged.
The CPU Temp. Limit of Start option can only be set if the CPU FAN Mode Setting
option is set to Automatic Mode. Use the CPU Temp. Limit of Start option to select the
CPU temperature at which the cooling fan should automatically turn on. When the fan
starts, it rotates using the starting pulse width modulation (PWM) specified in the Fan 3
Start PWM option below. To select a value, select the CPU Temp. Limit of Start option

Maximum Value: 127°C
Fan 1 Start PWM [070]
The Fan 3 Start PWM option can only be set if the CPU FAN Mode Setting option is set
to Automatic Mode. Use the Fan 3 Start PWM option to select the PWM mode the fan
starts to rotate with after the temperature specified in the Temperature 3 Limit of Start is
exceeded. The Super I/O chipset supports 128 PWM modes. To select a value, select the
Fan 3 Start PWM option and enter a decimal number between 000 and 127. The
temperature range is specified below.
