1.1 Overview

Figure 1-1: AFL3-W15B-H81 Flat Bezel Panel PC

The AFL3-W15B-H81 is a light industrial interactive panel PC with Intel® H81 chipset,

AFL3-W15B-H81 Panel PC

providing optimal memory, graphics, and peripheral I/O support. The system comes with

4 GB of DDR3 SO-DIMM memory that can ensure smooth data throughputs with reduced

bottlenecks and fast system access. In addition, the flat-bezel design is ideal for easy and

simplified integration into various applications.

One HDMI output, two serial ports, two USB 3.0 ports and four USB 2.0 ports allow

simplified connectivity to a variety of external peripheral devices. Furthermore, Wi-Fi

capabilities and two RJ-45 GbE connectors provide the system with smooth connection to

an external LAN.

3.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:

Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the

AFL3-W15B-H81 may result in permanent damage to the

AFL3-W15B-H81 and severe injury to the user.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,

including the AFL3-W15B-H81. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is

therefore critical that whenever the AFL3-W15B-H81 is accessed internally, or any other

electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered

to.

AFL3-W15B-H81 Panel PC

 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 AFL3-W15B-H81, place it on

an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the

AFL3-W15B-H81.

 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 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.

Page 18

 Certified Engineers: Only certified engineers should install and modify

onboard functionalities.

AFL3-W15B-H81 Panel PC

 Anti-static Discharge : If a user open the rear panel 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 followed.

Step 1: Unpack the flat bezel panel PC.

Step 2: Install a hard disk drive or mSATA module.

Step 3: Configure the system.

Step 4: Connect peripheral devices to the flat bezel panel PC.

Step 5: Mount the flat bezel panel PC. Step 0:

3.4 Removing the Back Cover

To access the AFL3-W15B-H81 internally, the back cover must be removed. To remove

the back cover, please follow the steps below.

3.11 AT/ATX Mode Selection

AT or ATX power mode can be used on the AFL3-W15B-H81. The selection is made

through an AT/ATX switch located on the bottom panel (

Figure 3-12: AT/ATX Switch Location

Figure 3-12).

Page 27

3.11.1 AT Power Mode

With the AT mode selected, the power is controlled by a central power unit rather than a

power switch. The AFL3-W15B-H81 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

3.11.2 ATX Power Mode

With the ATX mode selected, the AFL3-W15B-H81 panel PC goes in a standby mode

AFL3-W15B-H81 Panel PC

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 application includes

 Security surveillance

 Point-of-Sale (POS)

 Advertising terminal

3.12.4 Arm Mounting

The AFL3-W15B-H81 is VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) compliant and

can be mounted on an arm with a 75 mm or a 100 mm interface pad. To mount the

AFL3-W15B-H81 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

the arm has a 75 mm a 100 mm interface pad. If the mounting arm is not

VESA compliant it cannot be used to support the AFL3-W15B-H81 flat

bezel panel PC.

Step 2: Once the mounting arm has been firmly attached to the surface, lift 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

5.1 System Maintenance Introduction

If the components of the AFL3-W15B-H81 fail they must be replaced. Please contact the

system reseller or vendor to purchase the replacement parts. Back cover removal

AFL3-W15B-H81 Panel PC

instructions for the AFL3-W15B-H81 are described in Section

5.2 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:

Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the

AFL3-W15B-H81 may result in permanent damage to the

AFL3-W15B-H81 and severe injury to the user.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,

including the AFL3-W15B-H81. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is

therefore critical that whenever the AFL3-W15B-H81 is accessed internally, or any other

electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered

to.

3.4.

Page 82

 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 AFL3-W15B-H81, place it on

an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the

AFL3-W15B-H81.

 Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB

by the edges.
