7.3.4 Checking the status of the RAID system

By default, the status of the RAID system is displayed in the Windows Event Viewer and in a
log file of the program. If an error occurs, a hard disk can be synchronized at the operating
system level.
Note
It may take a very long time (hours or even days in the case of a high drive load) to
synchronize a new hard disk in the background, depending on its size and on the system
load.
The redundant system state is reached again only after synchronization is completed.
NOTICE
Operator errors on the machine or plant
Data is synchronized if a hard disk fails. Depending on the work load of the processor and
hard disks, the system may react with some delay. Execution of keyboard, mouse or touch
screen commands may be briefly delayed in extreme situations. This could result in
operator errors on the machine or plant.
Do not operate safety-critical functions when a hard disk has failed.
SIMATIC IPC547G
7.3.5 Displaying a defective hard disk of a RAID system in the RAID software
Note
Always replace the defective hard disk with a new hard disk of the same type and capacity.
If an error is detected the defective hard disk must be replaced with a new hard disk to return
to a secure RAID status after an error.
The RAID software indicates the following:
● A defective hard disk
● Details of the functioning hard disk:
The functioning hard disk is indicated by BIOS with its port number or by the RAID
software with its device port number.
The following figure shows the corresponding window in the RAID software with a RAID1
system.
You can find information on how to detect and replace a defective hard disk in the RAID
system in the section "Replacing a defective hard disk drive in the RAID system (Page 108)".
7.3.6 Special feature: Replacing hard disk in the RAID system when switched off
The RAID system does not automatically boot up when restarted if a defective hard disk was
replaced while the RAID system is switched off. Therefore, place the RAID system in the first
place of the bootable sources in the BIOS setup menu "Boot". Otherwise, the system will
boot from the hard disk you have just installed and the message "Operating system not
found" will be displayed.

8.2.2 ESD guideline
What does ESD mean?

An electronic module is equipped with highly integrated components. Due to their design,
electronic components are highly sensitive to overvoltage and thus to the discharge of static
electricity. Such electronic components or modules are labeled as electrostatic sensitive
devices.
The following abbreviations are commonly used for electrostatic sensitive devices:
● ESD – Electrostatic sensitive device
● ESD – Electrostatic Sensitive Device as a common international designation
Electrostatic sensitive devices can be labeled with an appropriate symbol.
NOTICE
Damage to ESD from touch
Electrostatic sensitive devices, ESD, can be destroyed by voltages which are far below the
human perception limit. If you touch a component or electrical connections of a module
without discharging any electrostatic energy, these voltages may arise.
The damage to a module by an overvoltage can often not be immediately detected and only
becomes evident after an extended period of operation. The consequences are incalculable
and range from unforeseeable malfunctions to a total failure of the machine or system.
Avoid touching components directly. Make sure that persons, the workstation and the
packaging are properly grounded.
SIMATIC IPC547G
Charge
Every person without a conductive connection to the electrical potential of his/her
surroundings can be electrostatically charged.
The material with which this person comes into contact is of particular significance. The
figure shows the maximum electrostatic voltages with which a person is charged, depending
on humidity and material. These values conform to the specifications of IEC 61000-4-2.
① Synthetic materials
② Wool
③ Antistatic materials such as wood or concrete
NOTICE
Grounding measures
There is no equipotential bonding without grounding. An electrostatic charge is not
discharged and may damage the ESD.
Protect yourself against discharge of static electricity. When working with electrostatic
sensitive devices, make sure that the person and the workplace are properly grounded.
SIMATIC IPC547G
8.3 Dimension drawings
Protective measures against discharge of static electricity

● Disconnect the power supply before you install or remove modules which are sensitive to
ESD.
● Pay attention to good grounding:
– When handling electrostatical sensitive devices, make sure that persons, the
workstation and devices, tools and packaging used are properly grounded. This way
you avoid static discharge.
● Avoid direct contact:
– As a general rule, do not touch electrostatic sensitive devices, except in the case of
unavoidable maintenance work.
– Hold the modules at their edge so that you do not touch the connector pins or
conductor paths. This way, the discharge energy does not reach and damage the
sensitive components.
– Discharge your body electrostatically before you take a measurement at a module. Do
so by touching grounded metallic parts. Always use grounded measuring instruments.

Information on the dimensioning of the fuses in the higher-level plant circuits
A fuse, which is designed for a tripping current of typical 6.3 A, is integrated in the
power supply of the IPC. Pulse current are also taken into consideration by the "time
lag" type. In the case of fault, this fuse ensure the correct separation of the device
from the power supply.
It is recommended to use a fuse of at least 6.3 A for the protection of the higher-level
power supply circuit in addition to the power requirement of the additional devices
that are also supplied through this circuit. The tripping characteristic of the higher-
level protection must hereby take into consideration the starting currents of the IPC
and those of the other devices.

8.5.3 Interrupt assignment
Interrupt assignment depending on operating system

The functions are assigned different interrupts (IRQ), depending on the operating system. A
distinction is made between the PIC and APIC modes.
SIMATIC IPC547G
1) Host PCI-IRQ A to H is assigned to IRQ 16 to 23 permanently in APIC mode. Host PCI-IRQ A

to H is assigned to IRQ 0 to 15 automatically by the BIOS in PIC mode. A specific assignment
cannot be forced.
X Interrupt PIC and APIC mode
Y Interrupt APIC mode
Z BIOS Default Interrupt PIC mode, e.g. DOS
Slot-specific interrupt assignment

Interrupt assignment of the slot connectors
Note
All system resources (hardware addresses, memory utilization, interrupt assignment, DMA
channels) are assigned dynamically by the BIOS or the Windows operating system,
depending on the hardware equipment, drivers, inserted expansion cards and connected
external devices.
Assignment is automatic and depends on the demanded resources of the connected devices
and the inserted expansion cards. Due to this configuration dependency, clear statements
can only be made by determining them with the system in the final configuration. The
following tables are an example of the assignment if the device is operated in PIC mode
(legacy boot media).

SIMATIC IPC547G
Exclusive PCI hardware interrupt

Applications demanding a high-performance interrupt require a high-speed hardware
interrupt reaction. The PCI hardware interrupt should be used only by one resource in order
to ensure high-speed reaction of the hardware.
Setting up an exclusive interrupt on the device (APIC mode only)

An exclusive interrupt can be used for PCI 1 slot 6 IRQ (APIC mode) 31 and PCI 2 slot 7
IRQ (APIC mode) 48. 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. BIOS assigns the PIC interrupts at random during restart
of the system.
SIMATIC IPC547G
8.6 BIOS description

and setting options are available, refer to the BIOS reference manual on the "Documentation
and Drivers" DVD that ships with the manual.
Note
After a BIOS update, you need to execute the "Restore Defaults" command. Executing the
"Restore Defaults" command restores all BIOS settings to their original state.
SIMATIC IPC547G
Power failure recovery

The following two settings are possible in the "Power Failure Recovery" BIOS setup entry:
● The device switches on automatically.
The device switches on automatically when the device was separated from the mains
supply for at least 20 s. This setting is of importance even if the device is always switched
off with a hardware reset. The device always starts automatically when the power supply
is re-connected at a later time.
● The on/off/ button must be operated.
The device does not switch on automatically.
Note
Automatic startup may endanger the operation of the machine or plant, for example, after a
power failure. Take this into account when designing the plant.
SIMATIC IPC547G
8.7.1 AMT basics

The processors Intel® CoreTM i5, CoreTM i7 and Intel® Xeon® support Intel Active
Management Technology at the hardware end. The processor Intel Xeon E3 supports
Intel® vProTM. An administrator at the Help Desk PC accesses the AMT PCs. Only the AMT
PCs must have an integrated Intel AMT.
The following figure shows the possible structure of a network for remote management on
the basis of SIMATIC AMT-PCs.
From a SIMATIC IPC which does not have Intel AMT functions, you can access networked
SIMATIC IPCs with Intel AMT using the SIMATIC IPC Remote Manager and/or a web
browser.
A SIMATIC IPC that supports AMT features 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 the SIMATIC IPC. Enable AMT in
the BIOS setup. Afterwards the Intel® Management Engine (Intel® ME) has to be activated
and set for AMT. Set the following in the Management Engine:
● Configure network for access via AMT
● Create password
SIMATIC IPC547G
8.7.2 Overview of AMT

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
8.7.3 Activate AMT

For security reasons, AMT is not enabled on new devices.
Procedure
1. Connect the AMT PC by means of "Create Internet connection" when using the
corresponding LAN controller (LAN 1).
2. If necessary, first reset AMT to the default status.
You can find the required information in the section "Reset AMT with Unconfigure ME
(Page 191)".
3. To access the BIOS, press the <F2> key while the device is booting.
4. Select the "Intel AMT" parameter in the "Advanced > AMT Configuration" menu.
5. Exit BIOS with the key <F4> "Save & Exit".
The AMT PC starts.
6. To access the MEBx, press the <Ctrl+P> keyboard shortcut at system power-up.
7. In the login dialog, enter the standard password "admin".
8. Change the default password.
The new password must include the following characters:
– In total at least eight characters
– One upper case letter
– One lower case letter
– One number
– A special character . ! @ # $ % ^ & *
Note
The underscore and blank space are valid password characters but do not increase
password complexity.
9. Enable "Intel (R) AMT Configuration > Manageability Feature Selection".

10.Enable "Intel (R) AMT Configuration > Activate Network Access".
SIMATIC IPC547G
8.7.4 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: The URL of the Web interface is "http://<IP Address>:16993" for
encrypted connections and "http://<IP address>:16992" for unencrypted connections.
● WinRM: A command line program that is part of Windows as of Windows Vista. This tool
can be downloaded for older Windows versions.
8.7.5 Reset AMT with Unconfigure ME
Note
If the factory setting for the AMT PC was not changed, you can skip this chapter.
If you have already configured AMT previously, discard all previous AMT settings made in
the MEBx.
Note
Note the following points:
• All previous settings in the Management Engine are deleted.

menu.
2. Exit BIOS with the key <F4>.
Your entry is saved and BIOS is closed. The AMT PC starts.
3. After the start, 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.
SIMATIC IPC547G
8.7.6 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.
8.7.7 Forcing user consent

When a connection to the AMT PC is established, 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.
This code query needs to be set up on the KVM viewer.
Procedure
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. Select "Opt-in Configurable from Remote IT".

defaults. Changes must be made if a memory expansion, new expansion card or drives are
to be activated.
Cache
High-speed access buffer for interim storage (buffering) of requested data.
Card retainer
The card retainer is used to fasten expansion cards and ensure safe contact and transport.
Large, heavy expansion cards are particularly affected by shocks and vibrations. We
therefore recommend that you use the card retainer for this type of expansion card. Very
short, compact and light expansion cards are also available on the market. The card retainer
was not designed for these expansion cards because standard fastening is sufficient for
them.
CE marking
CE stands for Communauté Européenne. The CE symbol confirms the conformity of the
product with all applicable EC directives such as the EMC Directive.
Chipset
The chipset sits on the motherboard and connects the processor to the RAM, the graphics
card, the PCI bus and the external interfaces.

A Solid State Drive is a drive that can be installed like any other drive; it does not contain a
rotating disk or other moving parts because only semiconductor memory chips of similar
capacity will be used. This design makes SSDs more rugged, provides shorter access times,
low energy consumption and rapid data transfer.
Track-At-Once
In track-at-once recording, a CD can be written to in bits in several sessions if the CD was
not closed.
Wake on LAN
Wake on Local area network. This function allows the PC to be started via the LAN interface.
