account. For more information about industrial security, please visit.
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends to apply product updates as soon as available and to
always use the latest product versions. Use of product versions that are no longer supported,
and failure to apply latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to cyber threats.
To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSS
Feed under.
This product includes third-party software. Siemens AG only provides a warranty for
updates/patches of the third-party software, if these have been distributed as part of a

3.2 Notes on usage
According to the results of a risk analysis, certain hazard potentials associated with the
unprotected machine exist. These hazards could lead to personal injury.
Avoid such hazards by taking the following precautions in accordance with the risk analysis:
• Installation of additional safety equipment on the machine or plant. In particular, the
programming, parameter assignment and wiring of the inserted I/O modules must be
executed in accordance with the safety performance identified by the necessary risk
analysis (SIL, PL or Cat.).
• Use as intended must be validated for the device by means of a function test on the
plant. These tests help you to identify programming, parameter assignment and wiring
errors.
• Documentation of the test results that you can enter in the relevant safety verification
documents, if necessary.
Unsuitable environmental conditions have a negative impact on device operation. Chemical
substances such as cleaners or fuels may alter the color, shape and structure of the device
surface, for example, the front panel.
The device may be damaged. possibly resulting in malfunctions.
For this reason, please observe the following precautions:
• Always operate the device in closed rooms. All warranties shall be void in the case of
noncompliance.
• Operate the device only in accordance with the ambient conditions specified in the
technical specifications.
• Protect the device against heat.
• Do not expose the device to direct sunlight or to other strong sources of light.
• Without additional safety measures, such as a supply of clean air, the device may not be
used in locations with harsh operating conditions caused by acidic vapors or gases.

60721-3-3 (pollutant class 3C2 for chemical influences, 3S2 for dust without sand).
A permanent picture with bright screen objects leads to a burn-in effect. The longer the
same screen contents are displayed, the longer it will take for the burn-in effect to
disappear. Screensavers (for example, "starfield simulation") for the backlit active black
mode reduce the burn-in effect. The brightness of the backlighting deteriorates over the
course of the screen's life cycle.
The service life of the screen and backlighting is extended by the following measures:
• Switch on the screensaver. The backlight brightness is reduced while the screensaver is
active.
• You should also reduce the backlighting.
• Observe the backlighting operating time.
At present, the manufacturing process of modern displays does not guarantee that all pixels
of the display will be perfect. A small number of defective pixels in the display is therefore
unavoidable. This does not present a functional problem as long as the defective pixels are
not bunched in one location.

WARNING
Danger of malfunction due to improper execution of gestures on the touch screen
Notes on operation
6.2 Operating the device
If gestures are executed incorrectly on the touch screen with multi-touch function, these
gestures may not be recognized or could be recognized incorrectly. The entries made are
then not implemented by the device or are implemented incorrectly or in an unintended
manner.
Incorrect execution of multi-touch functions can lead to errors in the operation of the plant
and thus to physical injury.
Note the following when operating the touch screen with multi-touch function:
• The touch screen reacts to contact on its surface, not to pressure.
• When using a touch pen: Operate the touch screen only with a touch pen for capacitive
touch.
• Avoid unintended multiple touches, for example, with your knuckles.
Before you start to operate the device, make sure you are familiar with the multi-touch
functions of the Windows operating system, as well as with the application to be used and
its functions. Ensure that the gestures which the user executes on the multi-touch display
are recognized by the application. It is possible that certain gestures need to be trained
beforehand.
Note when operating the multi-touch screen:
● Surface contact with a diameter of about 5 to 20 mm is required for an operator action to
be detected.
● An operation with gloves with a material thickness of <2 mm is detected in most cases.
However, check the usefulness of the gloves you are using.
● To avoid incorrect operation, certain inputs are ignored and blocked from further entry:
– Simultaneous operation with more than 5 fingers.
– Surface contact with a diameter of > 3 cm, for example, resting the palm of the hand
on the touch screen
– As soon as the touch screen is no longer touched, input is possible again.

Three temperature sensors monitor the temperature of the device at several positions:
● Processor temperature
● Temperature close to the RAM ICs/chips
● Temperature in proximity of the air inlet
A temperature error is triggered under these circumstances:
● The configured low threshold for the temperature has been violated.
● The configured high threshold for the temperature has been violated.
A temperature error causes the following reaction:
The temperature error is retained in memory until temperatures have fallen below the
thresholds and it is reset by one of the following measures:
● Acknowledgment of the error message by the monitoring software
● Restart of the device
You configure the watchdog with the DiagBase or DiagMonitor software.
The watchdog is able to monitor system runtime and informs the user about the different
reactions that are triggered if the system does not respond to the watchdog within the
specified monitoring time.
A watchdog alarm is retained after a restart and is reset and logged by the DiagBase or
DiagMonitor software. The watchdog configuration is retained in the process.

The EWF (Enhanced Write Filter) is a function that is only available for Windows Embedded
operating systems. It provides write protection that can be configured by the user.
You can use the Enhanced Write Filter to boot Windows Embedded Standard from read-only
media, for example, CFast card, or provide individual partitions with write protection.
EWF can be used to minimize write access to CFast cards. This is important because the
write cycles on CFast cards are limited due to technical reasons. We therefore recommend
using EWF if you work with CFast cards.

NOTICE
Activate only one write filter per partition - otherwise you risk data loss
6.4 Extended device functions
With the Feature Pack 2007 for Windows XP Embedded and Windows Embedded
Standard 7, Microsoft introduced a second write filter, File Based Write Filter (FBWF).
In contrast to EWF, which protects partitions based on sectors, FBWF works on the file level.
If FBWF is enabled, all files and folders of a partition are protected unless they are included
in an exception list.
FBWF is disabled by factory default in the operating system images for SIMATIC IPC and
must be enabled and configured by the user.
When you enable FBWF, the folders C:\FBWF and D:\FBWF are authorized for writing by
default.
● You should prefer FBWF, because it is more flexible in its configuration and allows
immediate writing without rebooting.
EWF and FBWF are pre-installed in the SIMATIC IPC images. Ensure that only one
write filter is enabled on a partition, otherwise you risk data loss.
Make sure that you only activate one write filter for each partition.

The motherboard is equipped with an optional NVRAM that applications can use to back up
data in the event of a power failure. Failure of the supply voltage for a duration longer than
5 ms is indicated by the DC FAIL signal.
Depending on the system utilization, up to 512 KB can be saved in the NVRAM.
A memory window with a maximum size of 512 KB can be displayed by means of PCI
address register. The base address is initialized by the BIOS.
A corresponding function is implemented there for using the NVRAM under WinAC RTX and

SIMATIC IPC Remote Manager
6.4 Extended device functions
AMT (Active Management Technology) is technology for the remote maintenance of
computers (simply called AMT-PC in the remainder of the document) and it includes the
following functions:
● Keyboard Video Mouse( KVM) Redirection: Using KVM that is integrated in the AMT
hardware you access the AMT PC remotely. With KVM, you can also control AMT PCs
that have no operating system or a defective operating system. A KVM remote session is
always possible with the KVM server integrated in the firmware. This means you can
restart the PC and change the BIOS setup remotely.
● Remote power management: AMT PCs can be turned on and off and restarted from
another PC.
● SOL (Serial over LAN): Redirection of the data of a serial interface to the network. The
main use of the function is text-based remote control of an AMT PC using a console.
● IDE redirection: An ISO file on the help desk PC can be mounted on the AMT PC and
used as a DVD drive.
An ISO file contains a memory image of the content of a CD or DVD structured in the ISO
9660 format.
● Remote reboot: An AMT PC can be booted from a bootable ISO file made available by
another PC.
The "SIMATIC IPC Remote Manager" software is available for utilization of the AMT
functions with SIMATIC IPCs. The software can be ordered from the Siemens online
ordering system. For detailed information about "SIMATIC IPC Remote Manager", refer to
the corresponding product documentation: SIMATIC IPC Remote Manager
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/48707158)
Typical areas of application and functions of the SIMATIC IPC Remote Manager:
● Remote maintenance of SIMATIC IPC with AMT, for example for service purposes in the
case of a defective operating system or for adapting BIOS settings.
● Diagnostics without on-site use
● Convenient service: Access to AMT clients, such as headless systems, without additional
hardware
● Resource management
