Scope Of Delivery Of The Software - Siemens SIMATIC IPC647D Produktinformation

Scope of delivery of the software

If you purchased your software with a device, the device already has a preinstalled optimized Windows operating system. If
you only purchased the software for the conversion of an operating system, you must install this on your system. The
supplied and preinstalled software is optimized for the respective device version.
The system can be used for PCS 7 with the different system images supplied.
When commissioning the system for the first time, converting the operating system or after restoring the factory state using
the Restore USB stick included in the scope of delivery, one of these system images must first be selected.
The following system images are available:
1. Windows operating system (Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 or Windows Server 2019) without pre-installed PCS software
as the basis for installation according to customer requirements.

Restore USB flash drive
The product package includes a Restore USB stick with which you can restore the system partition or the entire drives.
Note
The integrity and authenticity of the Restore USB flash drive is ensured with a catalog file (content.cat). This file is supplied on
the restore medium and can be used for verification. Details on how to verify integrity and authenticity can be found in the
"PCS 7 Readme (online)". You can find the current version of this document for download under the entry ID 109780270 in

Note
Functions of the Restore USB flash drive
SIMATIC PCS stations based on IPC647D/IPC847D are set up in the factory and with the Restore USB flash drive as UEFI-based
systems with "GUID Partition Table" (GPT) partitioning. The Restore USB flash drive is to be booted in "UEFI" mode. You can
manually select the boot mode in your system's boot manager. To do so, press the <ESC> key when the systems starts up and
navigate with the cursor keys first to the boot manager and then the required boot entry (UEFI boot of your USB flash drive).
The functions of the Restore menu described below vary in some points depending on the system setup and the system
drives.
You have the following options:
• Restore factory settings
Restore the factory settings of all drives with the Windows operating system. If the use of the system drive had been
changed beforehand using "Reorganize partition layout", this change will not be applied. The result to be expected after
the action has been carried out is displayed in the description.
• Restore system partition (Windows only)
Restore system partition with the Windows operating system, without PCS software (corresponds to A1 image).
• Restore partition layout
The partition layout is created for all drives and no image is restored. You can use this function, for example, after a drive
swap to restore only the system partition (Windows only).
• Reorganize partition layout (only with unpartitioned UEFI hybrid systems)
The partition layout of the existing drive volume (e.g. SATA HDD and SATA SSD volume) is swapped for functional use.
This function is used to change the configuration of the system drive, that is, whether the system partition is to be used
on a SATA HDD or a SATA SSD. The result to be expected after the action has been carried out is displayed in the
description. After reorganization has been carried out, you have to restore the factory settings or the system partition.
• Reset drive(s)
The existing GPT partitioned drives are reset to an unpartitioned state. This is necessary with GPT hybrid configurations in
order to be able to perform the "Reorganize partition layout" function.
A Restore package consists of a Restore USB stick which contains all required image files. The Restore USB stick is bootable in
the boot mode designated for your system. With USB sticks, note that booting from USB devices is permitted in the BIOS of
your IPC.
