Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the

may result in permanent damage to the

3.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:

AFL3-12C-ULT3 AFL3-12C-ULT3 and severe injury to the user.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the AFL3-12C-ULT3. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the AFL3-12C-ULT3 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, freq uently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the ground.

 Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the AFL3-12C-ULT3, place it on an

anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the AFL3-12C-ULT3.

 Only handle the edges of the PCB: When handling the PCB, hold the PCB

by the edges.

3.2 Installation Precautions

When installing the flat bezel panel PC, please follow the precautions listed below:

 Power turned off: When installing the flat bezel panel P C, 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.

AFL3-12C-ULT3 Panel PC

Page 17

 Anti-static Discharge: If a user open the rear pan el of the flat bezel panel PC ,

to configure the jumpers or plug in added peripheral devices, ground themselves first and wear an anti-static wristband.

3.3 Installation and Configuration Steps

The following installation steps must be foll owed.

Step 1: Unpack the flat bezel panel PC.

Step 2: Install an mSATA module or an HDD.

Step 3: Connect peripheral devices to the flat bezel p anel PC.

Step 4: Mount the flat bezel panel PC. Step 0:

3.4 Removing the Back Covers

To access the AFL3-12C-ULT3 internally the plastic back cover and the internal aluminum cover must be removed. To remove the covers, please follow the steps below.

Step 1: Remove 12 retention screws from the back cover. Two types of screw are used

for securing the plastic cover of the AFL3-12C-ULT3. Be aware of this for reinstalling the plastic cover. See Figure 3-1 for detail.

Figure 3-1: Back Cover Retention Screws

AFL3-12C-ULT3 Panel PC

Page 18

Step 2: Lift the plastic back cover off the AFL3-12C-ULT3.

Step 3: Remove the eight retention screws from the i nternal aluminum cover. Two types

of screw are used for securing the aluminum cover. Be aware of this for reinstalling the aluminum cover. See Figure 3-2 for detail.

Figure 3-2: Aluminum Cover Retention Screws

Step 4: Lift the aluminum cover off the AFL3-12C-ULT3. A t hermal pad is attache d under

the center of the aluminum cover. Thus, more strength is required when lifting the aluminum cover.

3.5 mSATA Module Installation

To install a full-size mSATA module into the AFL3-12C-ULT3, please follow the steps below:

Step 1: Remove the plastic back cover and the internal aluminum cov er. See

Section 3.4 above.

3.7 Serial Port Configuration and Connection

The AFL3-12C-ULT3 series has two serial ports, including one RS-232 port (COM1, RJ-45) and one RS-232/422/484 port (COM2, DB-9). The jumper settings and pinouts of the serial ports are listed in the following secti ons.

3.7.1 RS-232 Serial Port Connection

The RS-232 port (COM1) is a RJ-45 serial device connector on the bottom panel. The COM1 port connects to a cable with a standard D-sub 9 connector at the other end (cable included). Follow the steps below to connect a serial device to the AFL3-12C-ULT3 panel PC.

Step 1: Locate the RJ-45 connector. The location of the RJ-45 serial port connector is

shown in Chapter 1. The RJ-45 connector for the serial port can be identified easily as the RJ-45 for the network has two LEDs on the port, while the connector for the serial cable doesn’t.

Step 2: Insert the RJ-45 to D-sub 9 cable.

Step 3: Insert the serial connector. Insert the D-sub 9 connector of a serial device into

the D-sub 9 connector on the cable. See Figure 3-10.

AFL3-12C-ULT3 Panel PC

Page 24

Figure 3-10: Serial Device Connector

Step 4: Secure the connector. Secure the serial device connector to the ex ternal

interface by tightening the two retention scre ws on eit her side of t he conne ctor.

3.7.1.1 RS-232 Serial Port Pinouts

The pinouts of the RS-232 serial port (COM1) are listed in the following table.

Table 3-2: RS-232/422/485 Serial Port (COM2) Pinouts

3.8 AT/ATX Mode Selection

AT or ATX power mode can be used on the AFL3-12C-ULT3. The selection is made through an AT/ATX switch located on the bottom panel (Figure 3-11).

Figure 3-11: AT/ATX Switch Location

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 AFL3-12C-ULT3 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

AFL3-12C-ULT3 Panel PC

Page 26

 Manufacturing shop flow

3.8.2 ATX Power Mode

With the ATX mode selected, the AFL3-12C-ULT3 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 rem otely. Other possible application includes

 Security surveillance  Point-of-Sale (POS)  Advertising terminal
