1.1 General Overview
Figure 1-1: AFOLUX 9652 Series Touch Panel PC
The AFL-15C-9652, AFL-17C-9652 and AFL-19C-9652 (AFL-9652 series) are Intel®
Core™2 Duo or Intel® Celeron® M powered flat panel PCs with a rich variety of functions
and peripherals. Both AFL-9652 models are designed for easy and simplified integration in
to multiple applications.
An Intel® GME965 graphics memory controller hub (GMCH) coupled with an Intel®
ICH8M input/output controller hub ensures optimal memory, graphics, and peripheral I/O
support. The system comes with 1.0 GB or 2.0 GB of preinstalled DDR2 SDRAM and
supports a maximum of 4.0 GB of DDR2 SDRAM ensuring smooth data throughputs with
reduced bottlenecks and fast system access.
Two serial ports and four external USB 2.0 ports ensure simplified connectivity to a variety
of external peripheral devices. A VGA connector enables connectivity to other monitors.
802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi capabilities and two RJ-45 Ethernet connectors ensure smooth
connection of the system to an external LAN.

4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
AFL-9652 may result in permanent damage to the AFL-9652 and
severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL-9652. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore
critical that whenever the AFL-9652 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 AFL-9652, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the AFL-9652.
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 panel PC, please follow the precautions listed below:
Power turned off: When installing the flat 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.
Mounting: The flat panel PC is a heavy device. When mounting the system
onto a rack, panel, wall or arm please make sure that at least two people are
Page 29
assisting with the procedure.
Anti-static Discharge: If a user open the rear panel of the flat panel PC, to
configure the jumpers or plug in added peripheral devices, ground themselves
first and wear and anti-static wristband.

Wall mounting
Panel mounting
Arm mounting
Rack mounting
The four mounting methods are described below.
4.8.1 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.
Page 36
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.
Step 5: Secure the mounting-bracket to the wall by inserting the retention screws into
the four pilot holes and tightening them (
Figure 4-10).
Figure 4-10: Wall-mounting Bracket

Figure 4-16: Tighten the Panel Mounting Clamp Screws
4.8.3 Arm Mounting
The AFL-9652 series is VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) compliant and
can be mounted on an arm with a 100mm interface pad. To mount the AFL-9652 series 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 42
the arm has a 100 mm interface pad. If the mounting arm is not VESA
compliant it cannot be used to support the AFL-9652 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 4-17.

Page 50
5.1 Introduction
If the components of the AFL-9652 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-9652 series are described below.
5.2 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.
5.3 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-9652 series and injury to the body.
Over-tightening back cover screws will crack the plastic frame. Maximum
torque for cover screws is 5 kg-cm (0.36 lb-ft/0.49 Nm).
WARNING!
Take antistatic precautions when working with internal components.
The interior of the AFL-9652 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.

The internal aluminum back cover of the AFL-9652 series must be removed. To remove
the aluminum back cover, remove the retention screws indicated in the sections below.
Remove the following screws:
2 x Flat head screws
8 x Round head screws
Screw positions are indicated below (

Step 4: Remove the DDR2 memory module by pulling both the spring retainer clips
outward from the socket.
Step 5: Grasp the DDR2 memory module by the edges and carefully pull it out of the
socket.
Step 6: Install the new DDR2 memory module by pushing it into the socket at an angle
Figure 5-3).

5.5 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 six jumpers listed below are located on the motherboard and can be setup for
AFL-9652 series.
