Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
may result in permanent damage to the
3.1 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
AFL3-W19A-AL
AFL3-W19A-AL and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL3-W19A-AL. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the AFL3-W19A-AL 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, f requently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the AFL3-W19A-AL, place it on an
anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
AFL3-W19A-AL.
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.
Certified Engineers: Only certified engineers should install and modify
onboard functionalities.
Page 34
AFL3-W19A-AL Panel PC
Page 18
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 Step s
The following installation steps must be followed.
Step 1: Unpack the flat bezel panel PC.
Step 2: Install an mSATA module or an HDD.
Step 3: Configure the system.
Step 4: Connect peripheral devices to the flat bezel p anel PC.
Step 5: Mount the flat bezel panel PC.Step 0:
3.4 Removing the Back Covers
To access the AFL3-W19A-AL internally the plastic back cover and the internal aluminum

3.7 Serial Port Configuration and Connection
The AFL3-W19A-AL series has two serial ports, including one RS-232/422/484 port
(COM1, RJ-45) and one RS-232 port (COM2, RJ-45). The jumper settings and pinouts of
the serial ports are listed in the following secti ons.
3.7.1 Serial Port Connection
The two serial ports are RJ-45 serial device connectors on the bottom panel. Each serial
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-W19A-AL.
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 3-12.
Figure 3-12: Serial Device Connection
Step 4: Secure the connector. Secure the serial device connector to the external
interface by tightening the two retention sc rews on eit her side of the con nector.

3.7.2 RS-232 Serial Port Pinouts
The pinouts of the RS-232 serial port (COM2) are listed in the following tables.
The pinouts of the RS-232/422/485 serial port (COM1) are listed in the following tables.
The serial communication mode selection can be made through the BIOS options. Please
refer to Section 4.3.2.2 for detail information. The pinouts of the D-sub 9 connector are
listed below.
Table 3-5: RS-232/422/485 DB-9 Serial Port (COM1) Pinouts
3.7.4 DB-9 Serial Port Pin 9 Selection
Pin 9 on the COM1 and COM2 DB-9 connectors can be set as t he ring (RI) sign al, +5 V or
+12 V. The jumper selection options are shown in Table 3-6 and Table 3-7.
JP1 Description
Short 1-2 COM2 RI Pin use +5 V
Short 3-4 COM2 RI Pin use RI (Default)
Short 5-6 COM2 RI Pin use +12 V
The DB-9 Serial Port Pin 9 Setting jumper locations are shown in Figure 3-13 below.

Figure 3-13: DB-9 Serial Port Pin 9 Setting Jumper Locations
3.8 AT/ATX Mode Selection
AT or ATX power mode can be used on the AFL3-W19A-AL. The selection is made
through an AT/ATX switch located on the bottom panel (Figure 3-14).
Figure 3-14: 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-W19A-AL 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:
With the ATX mode selected, the AFL3-W19A-AL 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 remotely. Other
possible application includes
The methods of mounting the AFL3-W19A-AL are listed and described below.

Failure to take ESD precautions during the maintenance of the
may result in permanent damage to the
5.1 System Maintenance Introduction
If the components of the AFL3-W19A-AL fail they must be replaced. Please contact the
system reseller or vendor to purchase the replacement parts. Back cover removal
instructions for the AFL3-W19A-AL are described below.
5.2 Anti-static Precautions
WARNING:
AFL3-W19A-AL
AFL3-W19A-AL and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the AFL3-W19A-AL. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical that whenever the AFL3-W19A-AL 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 a ny grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, f requently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: - When configuring the AFL3-W19A-AL, place it on
an anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
AFL3-W19A-AL.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: - When handling the PCB, hold the PCB
by the edges.

5.3 Turn off the Power
WARNING:
Failing to turn off the system before opening it can cause permanent
damage to the system and serious or fatal injury to the user.
Before any maintenance procedures are carried out on t he system, make sur e the sy stem
is turned off.
5.4 SO-DIMM Module Replacement
The AFL3-W19A-AL has one SO-DIMM module installed. To replace the SO-DIMM
module, follow the instructions below.
Step 1: Follow all anti-static procedures. See Section 5.2.
Step 2: Turn off the power. See Section 5.3.
Step 3: Remove the plastic back cover and the internal aluminum cover. See
Section 3.4 above.
Step 4: Locate the SO-DIMM module (Figure 5-1).
Figure 5-1: SO-DIMM module Location

Step 5: Remove the memory module by pulling both t he spring retainer clips outward
from the socket.
Step 6: Grasp the memory module by the edges and carefully pull it out of the socket.
Step 7: Install the new memory module by pushing it into the socket at a 20º angle
(Figure 5-2).
Step 8: Gently push the memory module downwards and the arms clip into place
(Figure 5-2).
