With the ATX mode selected, the AFL2-12A-HM65 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 cont rolled remotely . Other
possible application includes
With the AT mode selected, the power is controlled by a central power unit rather than a
power switch. The AFL2-12A-HM65 panel PC turns on automatically when the power is

4.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
AFL2-12A-HM65 may result in permanent damage to the
AFL2-12A-HM65 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL2-12A-HM65. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the AFL2-12A-HM65 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 AFL2-12A-HM65, place it on
an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
AFL2-12A-HM65.
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 bezel panel 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.
Page 27
Anti-static Discharge : If a user open the rear p anel of the flat bezel panel PC,
to configure the jumpers or plug in added peripheral devices, ground
themselves first and wear and anti-static wristband.

to make sure the panel PC does not fall down and get damaged.
The four methods of mounting the AFL2-12A-HM65 are listed below.
Wall mounting
Stand mounting
Arm mounting
Rack mounting
The four mounting methods are described below.
Page 33
4.8.1 Wall Mounting
To mount the flat bezel 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 screw holes in the bracket 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
AFL2-12A-HM65 Series Panel PC
the four pilot holes and tightening them (
Figure 4-7).
Figure 4-7: Wall-mounting Bracket
Page 34
AFL2-12A-HM65 Series Panel PC
Step 6: Insert the four monitor mounting screws provided in the wall mount kit into the
four screw holes on the real panel of the flat bezel panel PC and tighten until the
screw shank is secured against the rear panel (
Figure 4-8).
WARNING:
Please use the M4 screws provided in the wall mount kit for the rear panel.
If the screw is missing, the thread depth of the replacement screw should
be not more than 4 mm.
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

the surface it uses as a base. To do this, refer to the installation documentation
that came with the mounting arm.
Page 37
AFL2-12A-HM65 Series Panel PC
NOTE:
When purchasing the arm please ensure that it is VESA compliant and that
the arm has a 75 mm or 100 mm interface pad. If the mounting arm is not
VESA compliant it cannot be used to support the AFL2-12A-HM65 flat
bezel panel PC.
Step 2: Once the mounting arm has been firmly attached to the surfa ce, lif t the flat bezel
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 bezel panel PC (
Figure 4-11).
Figure 4-11: Arm Mounting Retention Screw Holes
Step 4: Secure the flat bezel panel PC to the interface pad by inserting four retention
screws through the bottom of the mounting arm interface pad and into the flat
bezel panel PC.Step 0:
4.8.4 Cabinet and Rack Installation
The AFL2-12A-HM65 flat bezel 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 38
AFL2-12A-HM65 Series Panel PC
NOTE:
When purchasing the cabinet/rack installation bracket, make sure it is
compatible with both the AFL2-12A-HM65 flat bezel panel PC and the
rack/cabinet into which the AFL2-12A-HM65 is installed.
Step 1: Slide the rear chassis of the AFL2-12A-HM65 flat bezel panel PC through the
rack/cabinet bracket until the aluminum frame is flush against the front of the
bracket (
Figure 4-12).
Figure 4-12: The Rack/Cabinet Bracket

5 System Maintenance
Page 49
AFL2-12A-HM65 Series Panel PC
5.1 System Maintenance Introduction
If the components of the AFL2-12A-HM65 fail they must be replaced. Components that
can be replaced include:
SO-DIMM module
WLAN Module
Please contact the system reseller or vendor to purchase the replacement parts. Back
cover removal instructions for the AFL2-12A-HM65 are described below.
5.2 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
AFL2-12A-HM65 may result in permanent damage to the
AFL2-12A-HM65 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL2-12A-HM65. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the AFL2-12A-HM65 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 AFL2-12A-HM65, place it on
Page 50
an antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
AFL2-12A-HM65.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.
