Preface

Security information

Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.

In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Siemens' products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.

Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems, machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation) are in place.

For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please visit (http://www.siemens.de/industrialsecurity).

Siemens' products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customers' exposure to cyber threats.

To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSS Feed under (http://www.siemens.de/industrialsecurity).

Disclaimer for third-party software updates

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 Siemens software update service contract or officially released by Siemens AG. Otherwise, updates/patches are undertaken at your own risk. You can find more information about our Software Update Service offer on the Internet at Software Update Service (http://www.automation.siemens.com/mcms/automation-software/en/software-update-

Combination options for memory modules

You can equip each device with 1, 2 or 4 memory modules of the same capacity. Combinations of three memory modules or the mixing of memory capacities is not permitted.

This allows you to expand IPC memory capacity to up to 64 GB, of which you can use approx. 3.2 GB for operating systems and applications with 32-bit operating systems.

Depending on the number of memory modules used, these are inserted in defined slots on the motherboard.

The slots are labeled on the motherboard.

Usable memory modules

● DIMM DDR4 memory modules

● Memory transaction rate 2666 MT/sec "unbuffered"

● "without ECC"

Conditions of use of memory modules

● Memory is operated in dual-channel mode if two modules are installed.

● Only modules of the same module organization 2Rx8 or 1Rx8 may be used per channel.

● If expansion cards with their own memory, such as graphics cards, with 256 MB or more

are used, the memory that can be used for the operating system or applications may be less than 64 GB.

● In case of operating errors, it may be sufficient to remove one or two memory modules or to use a memory module with lower capacity so that the physical memory expansion on the motherboard and the reserved memory of the expansion card do not overlap.
