Authorizations For Use; Initial Commissioning And System Restore - Siemens SIMATIC IPC647D Produktinformation

● 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 package consists of several Restore DVDs, which contain all the necessary image files. The first Restore DVD in each
package is bootable.

Authorizations for use

To use the PCS 7 software, you need to install corresponding license keys, i.e. authorizations for use, on your computer.
The licenses are not included in the product package of the respective device; you must purchase them by ordering the
corresponding PCS 7 software package.

Initial commissioning and system restore

Note
Connecting a keyboard and mouse
To ensure correct functioning, connect the keyboard and the mouse directly with the device during initial commissioning or
system restore. Note the cable lengths used when doing this.
The system must not be changed prior to the first commissioning, except for the connection of the required monitors. The
same conditions as in the section "System restore (Page 23)" apply to the first commissioning.
After switching on your device or during system restore using the Restore DVD, dialogs appear that help you to install the
software.
Note
Information on commissioning procedure
At times, nothing is output to the connected monitors during commissioning of your system (following delivery or execution of
a Restore). Wait until the system makes the next output and then input the necessary entries.
Note
Using the "Multilingual User Interface" (MUI)
You should only select the language (without region) in the selection menu of the "Multilingual User Interface" during
commissioning. The other settings (location or region, time and currency, or display language and keyboard) are preset,
which you can change at the end of commissioning. Please note that for Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 10, the
selection of the language and subordinate settings are displayed simultaneously. Select only one of the languages displayed
on the left for Server 2012 R2 or only one of the languages listed for Windows 10.
You define the computer name during initial commissioning or a system restore. You are prompted to do so in corresponding
dialogs. The initial commissioning or the system restore is only complete when a corresponding message is displayed.
SIMATIC Management Agent
During initial commissioning or system restore, a dialog is displayed asking whether you want to use the SIMATIC
Management Agent. Additional information is available in the section "Operation with the SIMATIC Management Agent".
Selection of PCS 7 IPC bundle type for Windows Server 2012 R2
Specified different PCS 7 IPC bundle types can be created on your device. Select the PCS 7 IPC bundle type that you have
ordered from the dialog boxes during initial commissioning or when restoring the system. Additional dialogs then support you
in the installation of the software.
Assigning the computer name for Windows Server 2012 R2 and for Windows 10.
With these operating systems, the computer name is assigned automatically to begin with during initial commissioning.
During the course of commissioning, you are prompted to change the computer name. This prompt appears until the
computer name has been changed. Then restart the computer. You can only enter the computer in a workgroup or a domain
after you have changed the computer name and rebooted the computer.
