Safety notes 2
CAUTION
Please observe the safety instructions on the back of the cover sheet of this
documentation. You should not expand your device unless you have read the relevant
safety instructions.
This device is compliant with relevant safety directives to IEC, VDE, EN and UL. If you have
questions about the validity of the installation in the planned environment, please contact
your service representative.
Opening and repairing the device
Only authorized technical personnel are allowed to repair device components.
WARNING
Unauthorized opening and improper repairs can cause considerable damage to property or
danger for the user.
System expansions
Only install system expansion devices designed for this device. Installation of other
expansions may damage the system or violate safety requirements and RF interference
suppression regulations. Contact your technical support team or where you purchased your
PC to find out which system expansion devices may safely be installed.
NOTICE
If you install or exchange system expansions and damage your device, the warranty
becomes void.
Use of earphones/headphones
Excessive sound pressure of earphones/headphones can result in hearing impairment /
hearing loss.
Setting the volume and the equalizer to a setting other than the medium, will increase the
output voltage of the earphones/headphones and therefore the sound pressure value.
The use of factors that influence the output power of the earphones/headphones (such as
operating system, equalizer software, firmware, driver) and that are not approved by the
manufacturer, may increase the output voltage of the earphones/headphones and therefore
the sound pressure value.

7.1 Requirements for commissioning
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the device!
Make sufficient allowances for the device to acquire room temperature before you put it into
use. If condensation has developed on the device wait at least 12 hours before you switch it
on.
Note
Switching the device on
Depending on the device model, the power supply has either one or two on/off switches as a
power switch.
If at least one of these on/off switches at the rear of the device is in position "1" (on), the
device can be switched on using the on/off button at the front.
If all the on/off switches at the rear of the device are in position "0" (off), the device takes the
least amount power from the AC mains. The device cannot then be switched on using the
on/off button at the front.
Both on/off switches must therefore be in the "0" position, especially for the model with
redundant power supply power. This is because the device is operational even with one
active power supply module.
● Before you switch on the device, you should verify that all peripheral devices such the
keyboard, mouse, monitor and the power supply are connected.
● The operating system of your device is preinstalled on the hard disk.

7.3 Windows Security Center
Warning from the Windows Security Center
A warning from the Windows Security Center is displayed the first time you switch on your
device. The Security Center checks the status of the device in regard to the three important
security aspects listed below. If a problem is detected (an outdated antivirus program, for
example), the Security Center issues a warning and makes recommendations on how you
can better protect the device.
● Firewall: The Windows Firewall adds protection to the device by blocking network or
Internet access to the device by unauthorized users. Windows checks if the device is
protected by a software firewall.
The firewall is enabled by default in the factory state.
● Antivirus software: Antivirus programs add protection to the device by searching for and
eliminating viruses and other security threats. Windows checks if a full-range, up-to-date
antivirus program is running on the device.
No antivirus software is installed in the factory state.
● Automatic updates: Using the Automatic Update feature allows Windows to regularly
search for the latest critical updates for the device and to install them automatically. This
feature is disabled in the factory state.
● Real-time protection (Windows 7 only): Windows Defender displays warnings if spyware
or possibly unwanted software is installed or executed on the computer. You will also
receive a warning if programs attempt to modify important Windows settings.
Configure the Security Center according to your requirements.

7.4.2 Compact Flash card rack (optional)
Note
We highly recommend that use use approved SIMATIC Compact Flash cards. Siemens
disclaims any liability for impairment of functions caused by the use of third-party cards.
Installation
It is possible to operate the optional CompactFlash card rack with a CompactFlash card as a
flash drive. Additional information is available in the section Installation and removal of CF
card rack (Page 93).
Features
The flash drive with CompactFlash card acts just like a standard hard disk. No special driver
software is required to operate the Flash drive.
Although the Flash drive reacts like a hard disk superficially, there are restrictions due to the
limited number of write cycles on Flash memory. The service life of a Compact Flash card
depends on the number of write access to the medium - read accesses have no effect.
To maximize the service life of Compact Flash cards, take care that the writing to the cards
is kept to a minimum.
For example, you can do this by ensuring that:
● Swap files of the operating system and application are not located on the Compact Flash
card.
● Cyclic writing is avoided.
Operating systems such as MS-DOS and Windows XP Embedded allow this, for example.
The Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) can be used with XP Embedded, for example. This
minimized the number of write accesses to the Flash drive or avoids it entirely.
Flash drive functions
A Flash drive or a Compact Flash card consists of Flash memory chips.
An intelligent controller integrated in the flash drive manages the flash memory. This
optimizes the use of the Flash memory to achieve a maximum service life.
The service life of a Flash drive depends in part on the following factors:
● Type of file
Executable files (*.EXE) are usually only written once and stays at the same storage
location.
● The number of writes within a given time (the less the better)
Commissioning
7.4 Notes on operation
SIMATIC IPC647C
Operating Instructions, 12/2012, A5E02669337-04 45
Comparison of Flash drive and hard disk drive service life
Examples of the service life for a Flash drive:
With a "Data logger function", a 4 KB file is written to a 1 GB Compact Flash card every
5 seconds. The cluster size is 4 KB in this case. Due to the file segmentation, the file is
always written to another location on the Compact Flash card.
With this example, the Compact Flash card has a theoretical service of 79.3 years.
Example of the service life for a hard disk drive
The service life of a hard disk drive depends on the following factors:
● Temperature (operating & storage / transport)
● Shock (operating & storage / transport)
● Vibration (operating & storage / transport)
● Humidity (operating & storage / transport)
● Power supply
● Power on hours (POH)
● Duty cycle (% workload, i.e. write/read/positioning)
The service life for a hard disk is between 2.5 and 5 years, depending on the factors listed
above.
Booting from the Flash drive
To be able to boot from the flash drive, you first need to install an operating system and set
the boot priority. The procedure for installing an operating system is described in the section
"Installing Windows". How to change the boot priority in the BIOS setup is described in the
section "Boot Menu (Page 205)".
7.4.3 DVD burner (optional)
The DVD burner drive is an optional feature. Recording methods supported by the disk drive:
Disc-at-once, Track-at-once, Session-at-once, Packet writing. You can write to CD-R, CD-
RW, DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM and dual-layer media.
Burner software
You need to install additional software (burner software) to utilize full functionality of the DVD
burner, depending on the operating system.
Example
The Windows XP operating system does not include burner functionality. This is why the
burner software is included. This software is included on the CD supplied with the device.
Insert the CD in the drive, run setup and follow the instructions on the screen.

7.4 Notes on operation
SIMATIC IPC647C
46 Operating Instructions, 12/2012, A5E02669337-04
The Windows 7 and Windows 2008 Server operating systems include burner functionality.
No additional burner software is provided in this case. Refer to the operating system
documentation for instructions on using the DVD burner.
Note
When starting the burner software the first time, no data medium should be inserted in the
drive. This is because data media with errors can interrupt the automatic hard drive
recognition. This makes it impossible to correctly display the possible burner functions.
NOTICE
Danger of data errors when burning disks
Burning is permissible only in an undisturbed environment, i.e. shock and vibration stress
must be avoided. Because of heavy fluctuation in the quality of CD-Rs, data may be
corrupted in a burning session, even if no error message is initially displayed. The written
data can only be verified by comparing these with the source. To be on the safe side, data
should be verified after every burning session.
7.4.4 Removable hard disks
The removable racks support hot plugging in a RAID1 system. If, however, you have
configured a non-RAID system, you will need to turn the device off before exchanging the
rack.
Notes on operation
Note
Always replace the defective drive with a new drive of the same type and capacity.
NOTICE
Removing the removable rack in order to replace the hard disk is only permissible when the

1 Mechanical interference must be safely excluded within the burning operation.
2 Restrictions when HDDs are mounted in removable racks:
Shocks to 5G are permitted only for operation with SATA hard disk drives. Otherwise,
mechanical stress must be safely excluded. SAS drives may not experience any shocks.
3 The two flashing red LEDs indicate that the RAID system is being synchronized.
Both red LEDs are lit if the monitoring software was unable to locate the defective HDD.
It may be possible to locate this HDD using the RAID software. See section RAID
monitoring (Page 70).
4 LAN interfaces are numbered on the enclosure to provide unique identification. The
numbering by the operating system may deviate from this.
5 AMT and teaming cannot be used simultaneously on the Ethernet interface.
6 Interfaces supplied as optional.
7 SAS hardware RAID controller and the Dual Head graphics card occupy the same PCIe
x16 expansion slot. The two cannot be operated together.
Note
Check the ESD Directive (Page 231).

16.2 Bus boards
16.2.1 Bus board models
Riser cards are used as bus boards for SIMATIC IPC647C. These riser cards are used to a
create spatial offset for connections between the motherboard and the expansion modules.
The riser card is used as an elbow. This positions the bus board vertical and expansion
modules parallel to the motherboard. The edge-socket connectors for expansion modules
are located on the bus board. The riser card also provides power to the motherboard.
There are two types of bus boards for SIMATIC IPC647C:
1. Bus boards
The following bus boards are optionally used.
– 2 × PCI and 1 × PCI x16 (angled)
Bus board with edge-socket connectors for two PCI expansion modules and an angled
edge-socket connector for the PCI x16 Piggyback.
– 1 × PCI and 1 × PCI x4 and 1 × PCI x16, angled
Bus board with edge-socket connectors for one PCI expansion module, one PCI x4
expansion module and an angled edge-socket connector for the PCI x16 Piggyback.
2. Piggyback
Bus board with diverted connection for a PCIe x16 expansion module.

16.2.2 Exclusive PCI hardware interrupt
Applications demanding high-performance interrupt handling require high-speed hardware
interrupt reaction. The PCI hardware interrupt should only be used by one resource in order
to ensure high-speed reaction of the hardware.
Setting up an exclusive interrupt on the device (only APIC mode)
An exclusive interrupt can only be used for PCI slot 2 and slot 3. Further exclusive interrupts
for use at the slots are not available.
Assigning exclusive interrupts in BIOS Setup (PIC mode only)
The interrupts are automatically assigned to the slots at system startup due to the default
settings in system BIOS.
Several slots may share the same interrupt, depending on the system configuration. This
functionality is known as interrupt sharing. Exclusive interrupts are not available in PIC
mode. Disable specific system resources in order to obtain exclusive interrupts. The resulting
free interrupt is then assigned to the slots. The lower free IRQ is assigned to the lower Slot
No.
If a conflict arises through the assignment, a message will be displayed and has to be
acknowledged.
Message: "Resources Conflict. Please re-select [ok]"
The interface that causes the conflict is disabled automatically. Additional information is
available in the section Interrupt assignments (Page 187).
Example
If you want to use "IRQ 3" for a slot, you have to disable the "Internal COM 2" by using
Advanced > Peripheral Configuration. IRQ 3 is then assigned automatically to the slot that
has the lowest slot number.
IRQ assignments for Windows (APIC mode)
Ethernet 1 16 1) 2)
Ethernet 2 17 1)
PROFIBUS/MPI 19 1)
PCI slot 1 20 1)
PCI slot 2 21 1)
PCI Express slot 16 1) 3)
1 Requirement: The modules in the PCI slots each require only one interrupt
2 Requirement: VGA and PCI Express do not require an interrupt
3 Requirement: VGA does not require an interrupt and Ethernet1 is disabled

16.4 System resources
SIMATIC IPC647C
188 Operating Instructions, 12/2012, A5E02669337-04
PCI / PCIe cards and the on-board PCI / PCIe devices require PCI interrupt channels. These
interrupt channels can be shared and are plug-and-play compatible, that is, several devices
can share the same interrupt. The IRQ is assigned automatically.
PCI interrupt channels must be derived from the PIC interrupt pool, that is PCI modules also
use PIC resources. These IRQ channels are assigned automatically.
The Host PCI IRQ channels A to H are permanently assigned in APIC mode. These default
settings cannot be modified.
The host PCI IRQ channels A to H in PIC mode are assigned automatically by the BIOS. The
assignment can be changed by disabling functions. You can also assign free IRQs to the
host PCI IRQ line in the BIOS menu "PCI Configuration".
16.4.2.3 Memory address assignments
PCI VGA modules can be operated with expansion ROM up to 48K.

SIMATIC IPCs with Intel AMT using the SIMATIC IPC Remote Manager and/or a web
browser.
SIMATIC IPCs that support AMT feature two onboard Ethernet interfaces, each with a
separate controller. You can configure the controller integrated in the chipset for use with
Intel AMT. Further details about the controller can be found in the technical specification.
For security reasons, AMT is disabled when you receive a SIMATIC IPC. Enable AMT in the
BIOS setup. Afterwards the Intel® Management Engine (Intel® ME) has to be activated and
set for AMT. You make additional settings in the Management Engine:
● Configuring the network for access via AMT
● Creating a password
This section describes the required measures and settings on the local IPC so that the IPC
can be controlled and maintained remotely from a management station known below as the
help desk PC.
The local IPC is known below as the "AMT PC".
The sections contain the following information:
● AMT settings in the MEBx and in the BIOS setup
● Basic configuration of AMT
● Further useful notes

16.6.3 Advanced settings
The BIOS and the MEBx contain the most important basic settings for AMT. Additional tools
are necessary if you want to make more advanced settings. If required, these must be
downloaded from the relevant manufacturer's site. For information on the options and use of
these tools, refer to the relevant documentation of the manufacturer.
● Manageability Commander and other tools of the Intel DTK (Manageability Developer
Tool Kit): Programs from the Intel DTK that you can download from the Internet at
"http://software.intel.com/en-us/manageability".
● AMT Web interface: For encrypted connections, the URL of the Web interface is "https://
<Fully qualified domain name>:16993" and for unencrypted connections "http://<IP
address>:16992".
● WinRM: A command line program that is part of Windows as of Windows Vista. This tool
can be downloaded for older Windows versions.
16.6.4 Resetting with Un-configure
Note
If the AMT PC still has its factory settings, for example has just been purchased, you can
skip this section.
If you have already configured AMT previously, it is best to discard all the previous AMT
settings made in the MEBx.
Note
All previous settings in the management engine are deleted.
Correct operation in the plant may be at risk.
Note down all the settings in the MEBx. Make the settings again as necessary following
Unconfigure.
To reset the AMT settings, follow these steps:
1. Enable the "Un-configure ME" entry in "Advanced > Active Management Technology
Support" in the BIOS.
2. Exit the BIOS with the <F10> key "Save and Exit". The AMT PC restarts.
3. After the restart, a user prompt appears asking whether you really want to discard all the
settings in the management engine:
4. Confirm with "Y". On a German keyboard, this means pressing the <Z> key.
The device continues to boot with the factory settings of the management engine.

Operating Instructions, 12/2012, A5E02669337-04 219
16.6.5 Determining the network address
To connect the AMT PC with the AMT server, the network address that uniquely localizes
the AMT server on the AMT PC must be entered.
If DHCP is set for the automatic assignment of the network address in "Network Setup" in
the MEBx of the AMT PC, the network address is not fixed.
Procedure
If the AMT server uses the same network address as the operating system of the AMT PC
(most common situation):
1. You can obtain the address of the AMT server in the command line in Windows using
"ipconfig" and in UNIX using "ifconfig".
If the AMT server and operating system do not use the same network address, ask your
network administrator for the address you have been assigned.
16.6.6 Forcing user consent
When establishing a connection to the AMT PC, the KVM viewer may prompt the user to
enter a six-figure code. This code is displayed on the screen of the AMT PC. The user of the
AMT PC must inform the user of the KVM viewer of this code.
Procedure
To set up this code query on the KVM viewer, follow these steps:
1. Select "Intel(R) AMT Configuration > User Consent" in the MEBx.
2. Select the value "KVM" for "User Consent".
To allow a user with administrator privileges to avoid this code query, follow these steps:
1. Select "Intel(R) AMT Configuration > User Consent" in the MEBx.
2. Enable "Opt-in configurable from remote IT".

ESD Directive B
Meaning
An electronic module is equipped with highly integrated electronic components. Due to their
design, electronic components are highly sensitive to overvoltage and thus to the discharge
of static electricity. Such electronic components are labeled as electrostatic sensitive devices
(ESD).
The following abbreviations are commonly used for electrostatic sensitive devices:
● ESD – Electrostatic Sensitive Device
● ESD – Electrostatic Sensitive Device (internationally recognized term)
Electrostatic charge
NOTICE
Electrostatic charge
ESDs may be destroyed by voltages far below the level perceived by human beings. If you
are not discharged electrostatically, the voltage that you transfer when touching a
component or the contact points of a module can already cause damage.
The damage to an ESD caused by overvoltage is usually not recognized immediately. The
damage only becomes apparent after a long period of operation.
Discharge any electrostatic charge of your body before you touch the ESD.
Anyone who is not connected conductively to their surroundings is subject to electrostatic
charge.
The following diagram shows the maximum voltage values to which a person can be
charged electrostatically. The values depend on the material and humidity. The shown
values are in conformity with the specifications of EN 61000-4-2.

Protective measures against discharge of static electricity
NOTICE
Grounding measures
There is no equipotential bonding without grounding. An electrostatic charge is not
discharged and may damage the ESD.
When working with electrostatic sensitive devices, make sure that the person and the
workplace are properly grounded.
Note the following:
● Only touch the ESD if it is absolutely necessary.
● When you touch ESD modules, avoid touching the pins or the PCB tracks.
This precaution reduces the risk of damaging an ESD.
● Discharge electrostatic electricity from your body if you are performing measurements on
an ESD.
To do so, touch a grounded metal object before you carry out the measurement.
● Always use grounded measuring instruments.
