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.

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.
